Nintendo 3DS: Nintendo 3DS não liga

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 07:01:35 -0700

Olá Galera!
Me chamo Neto e estou com um problema no meu Nintendo 3DS já faz alguns meses.
A algum tempo atrás fiquei sem carregador de 3DS, nisso eu enrolei pra comprar outro porém depois de um mês comprei, quando botei no meu 3DS para carregar, deixei carregando um bom tempo e nisso daí quando liguei ele não queria ligar de jeito nenhum. Ele aparece o LED laranja de carregando porém eu aperto o botão power mas não ligar. Depois de um tempo tentei novamente, mas agora aconteceu uma outra situação. O Console ligava o led laranja e depois de um tempo o led sumia, tinha que tirar o carregador e botar de novo para ligar, porém sempre sumia. obs: tentei com outra bateria de um colega meu que estava funcionando normalmente, porém sem sucesso.
Quem puder me ajudar, agradeço.

Nintendo 3DS: No power - makes a popping sound - fails to turn on.

Sat, 31 Aug 2024 17:36:24 -0700

Hello,

I have 3 (three!) 3DS systems that have the same problem. When you press the power button, the blue light turns on for a second, and then the screen flashes with a popping sound and the system shuts off.

Any idea on what's going on here? I read something once about a fuse, but that was long ago.

Thanks,

Andrew

Nintendo 3DS: How do I fix my 3DS Error Problem?

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 18:24:07 -0700

When I turn my 3DS on after about a minute or so it will say "An error has occurred. Hold down the POWER Button to turn off the power, then turn it on and try again. For help, visit support.nintendo.com."

I have checked the website and tried to turn it off and on several times, but nothing seems to be working. I believe I know what caused it, while reaching for something I knocked my 3DS off of my desk maybe 2.5-3 feet. Anyone know whats wrong and how to fix it?

Nintendo 3DS: Can I fix water damaged 3DS?

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 18:13:59 -0700

My sister dropped her 3DS in the toilet and after a few days spent in rice I decided to try turning it on. It charges fine but the power button doesn't work all the time, both screens have water marks on it and either the joypad or the D-pad is stuck to constantly scroll right, making it hard to play games. It functions fine on the main screen apart from the right direction being stuck and the power button only working occasionally.

Is there anything I can do to fix it or is it destined for the bin?

Nintendo 3DS: Stuck on Sleep Mode and Frozen on Home Menu

Fri, 08 Apr 2022 03:19:42 -0700

After about 2 months of not being used, my son opened his Nintendo 3DS and it goes to the Sleep Mode screen. It gives you the option to power off or go to Home Menu and that is where it freezes. Once you're on Home Menu, you can't go any further. It just says 'Home Menu'. I've tried taking out battery and reformatting sd card. I've tried turning on and off the console. Can't go any further. Seems like something so simple but yet so expensive to get fixed. Any suggestions before I'm another $60 in the hole on top of all of the games and the cost of the console?

P.S. I've spent countless days researching this online so I have done my homework for the most part.

Nintendo 3DS: I hear a popping sound and it shuts off.

Sat, 14 Jan 2023 12:21:56 -0700

When I turn on the 3DS it starts to power on and then I hear a popping sound and it shuts off. I tried removing the batter and putting it back in after a few minutes with no luck. I have taken the 3ds apart but all ribbons seemed to be seated well and there doesn't seem to be any tears in the ribbons. The only thing I noticed was the WiFi antenna is torn a bit. In all fairness I don't remember if I tried it with the WiFi off. Could the WiFi antenna cause this issue?

Nintendo 3DS: 3ds wont turn on

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 16:04:21 -0700

When I push down the button the blue light will fade on and off. That's it. This happened when I took the SD card out. Had homebrew on the SD card (I wanted custom backgrounds) and it was messing up so I was trying to fix it. It's at home charging now and I'll try to mess with it when I get home. The 3ds is about 6 years old had it since it got out. Maybe it's just old. Did I dun muff up my 3ds? Can it be fixed?

Uh oh now it won't charge. When I plug in the charger the orange light will stay on for a couple of seconds and then shut off.

Nintendo 3DS: How can I get DS/3DS games clean and read properly?

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 10:40:14 -0700

I have a lot of DS games with a lot of hours played with. Sometimes when I try to play them on any DS or 3DS device the game won’t read. I have to pop it in and out or blow on the cartridge’s contacts with an air compressor. Sometimes I just try to wiggle it out a bit. The DS/3DS works fine with newer game and as well as the older games themselves. I want to know if there is a better way to clean them and get them to work probably from just slotting it in one go. Eventually in time I’ll have the same problems with the 3DS and Switch cartridges.
