I ordered a New 3DS XL from Japan a while back, and while it works well for the most part, it has a defect that's driving me mad. If the battery is depleted, the system refuses to charge or power on. Whenever I put the charger in, the orange light turns on for a few seconds, and then goes back off. If the battery runs out, I have to charge it in another 3DS to keep using it. Also, it seems to drain battery even when turned off. I have no idea what's causing this, and I haven't had any luck with figuring it out. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Are there any potential solutions?

not sure of the battery. but. for drain while shut off. Do you have a flashcard in the game card slot by chance?

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
