My 3DS won't turn on, power light fades in and out.

Post by soul_hacker »

So, I'm having this issue and I have yet to find any issue on it. Last night I charged my 3DS and this morning, I couldn't turn my 3DS on at all, but the blue power light keeps on fading in and out. I'm not sure what to do about it. Has anyone else have/had this issue or know a way how to fix it?

That blue pulsing LED signafies that it's in standby, right?

I would try and pull the battery, wait a minute, put the battery back in and see if it wont turn on.

Awesome, thanks a lot. I actually just tapped where the battery is and it powered on just fine. I'm going to get a #00 phillips head screwdriver and take the battery out and put it back in just to make sure.

If you pull it out, check the battery's contacts and see if they're dirty.
