Hardware 3DS Not powering on

[Mariobros6428]

My New nintendo 3ds xl no longer works.I do beleve i may have hard bricked it by charging it in a really gehto way. At the time i did not have a 3ds charger but i did have a old class 2 power supply so i decided to cut off the end of it to get the negitive and positive copper points i then proceded to line them up between the power points of the battery and the 3ds.I was suprised to see that it worked.-2 days later of doing this i assume the 3ds could not handle the power going though it so i guess it fried its self.The last time i ever saw it active when it was blinking red and i did not feel like chargeing it so i just left it there. when i later came home i tried the gehto way agian but this time it was not working.later i went out and bought a real 3ds charger the next day but still no life.even with the battery out it still cannot turn on.

Maybe if you're lucky it's only a broken fuse or connector
What voltage did that charger have?

Charging Li-ion batteries by directly connecting some DC voltage on the battery terminals is a bad idea in general. The batteries should have their own protection circuit preventing overcharge (which would ultimately lead to [YouTube] Li-ion thermal runaway). If the battery protection is circumvented or does not work a fried 3DS is your smallest problem.

Check these:

• Battery voltage with a multimeter
• If the battery still looks good and has normal voltage: Try your battery in a different console
• A different battery in your console
• Fuses on the mainboard with a multimeter

Edit: A 3DS will not turn on without a battery. With only the charger while battery is disconnected (or completely dead) it will not power on.

9 volts?? Are you kidding me??? You're lucky something didn't blow up
Try doing what KleinesSinchen said above

Yeah it seems to be an okay video but it's very likely that you fried the charging IC so you would have to replace that and not just reflow it

Sthetix guides are pretty shit but if you want to follow it you can.

You fried the protection circuit of the battery and/or charging circuuit in your 3DS with way too high voltage. Maximum charge voltage for Li-Ion or Lipo is 4.2V.

Here's a previously discussed thread about ghetto charging the 3DS systems.

• Possible to solder a USB power to a broken charge port?

Basically, supplying too much or too little voltage (V) or amperage (A) will fry your charging components.


Here's a list of the parts that should be cross compatible for all the 3DS systems. However, you'll want to research and figure out where they're located on each model's motherboard.

Hi ik its been like 4 years sorry but i got a new battery , replaced the right button board , got a multi meter and now have access to plenty of soldering tools, i also have a ds light for parts if any fuses/parts can be used from it as well
