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.

New Nintendo 2DS XL: Nintendo New 2DS XL does not power on after battery replacemet

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 06:44:44 -0700

Hello,

I recently purchased a new battery for my Nintendo New 2DS XL from iFixit. The device was working perfectly before the replacement. I decided to replace the battery because I have been using the console since launch day.

After installing the new battery, the 2DS no longer powers on. When the charger is not connected, no LEDs light up at all. When I connect the charger, the battery LED lights up orange. If I then try to turn the device on, the power LED turns on for about less then one second and immediately turns off again.

I have also reinstalled the original battery, but the same symptoms occur now.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,⏎

Nintendo 3DS XL 2015: Why does my system keep freezing?

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 01:05:35 -0700

My new Nintendo 3ds xl will power on but at random times between seconds and 6 minutes the screen freezes audios stop and the only thing I can do is a full power off, happens even without games on or in the console. If I place the console on an ice pack the freezing does not happen, I opened up the back and see no thermal paste, but there is a pink powder spread throughout on the inside of the back plate, but could anything else be causing it/ is there a solve with getting thermal paste?

Nintendo 3DS: Stuck On Home Menu: Inputs, Sound, 3D Slider Don't Work

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 14:34:09 -0700

I received a 3ds in a lot of damaged electronics. I've managed to repair everything so far except this 3ds which has me stumped.

The system turns on and loads to the main home screen. The top screen animation runs, I can turn the wifi on and off, the game reader reads games, the system charges, if I hold the power button to get to the power down screen, I can press the home button to get back to the home menu, and I can enter the update/safemode screen when holding L+R+A+d-pad up (Edit: was d-pad down, I meant d-pad up). I cannot enter into touch screen calibration, touch input doesn't work. On very rare occasions if I'm holding down d-pad right when powering on the system, the home menu will start scrolling right indefinitely and I'm able to "fight" against it by repeatedly pressing d-pad left and only when in this state I can enter into an app if press A at the right moment (which is how I know the cameras work), but the touch screen still wont work.⏎
⏎
Otherwise though, the joystick, touch screen, ABXY, sound, and 3d slider do not work at all.⏎
⏎
I've already tried cleaning under and changing out the digitizer, as well as the bezel, and cleaning under the button pad stickers. I've also tried systematically disconnecting one component at a time and testing to see if anything changes or works. Unfortunately, though, none of this has seemed to work. ⏎
⏎
The scrolling right only happens when I have the system taken apart, but it isn't consistent with any specific component being disconnected.⏎
⏎
The battery does have a slight curvature to it, but I'm not sure if that would cause these issues. ⏎
⏎
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!⏎
Thanks!

Nintendo 3DS: 3DS overheating plus screen won't turn on after repair

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 08:34:28 -0700

Hi. Ok let me start from the beginning. I've had an Old 3DS since 2018 but it was passed down to me by my cousin who bought it in 2011, I had to change the battery for the first time in 2023 and after that I modded it somewhat in december 2024. During the end of 2025's first semester it started to stop charging until it just stopped working in general, I took it to a repair guy who tried to change the charging port on my 3DS, we tried to use a different charger but nothing was working (batter shows no signs of inflation/getting bigger). Then he opened it up and discovered that apparently there was something wrong with the motherboard that was stopping the electricity from getting to the battery but if I take the battery out and charge it via an adapter it works. I came back home now (live in Brazil but was living for a few months on Italy) and tried to power it up, unfortunatly the blue LED turns on but both screens stay pitch black and won't even turn on. Also for some bs reason it's overheating on the left upper screen hinge when I power it on so I'm scared of leaving it on for a long time to see what happens. Can anyone please help me, this was my first ever eletronic/videogame and it matters a lot to me. Thanks

New Nintendo 2DS XL: Ribbon cable of the top screen is getting extremely hot

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 11:17:53 -0700

The ribbon cable is getting really hot and surface of the screen is almost painful to touch. The issue persisted even after the screen replacement. The screen was also replaced a while ago (6-7 years ago I think). It may be because the previous guy covered the left side of the screen (where the ribbon cable is) in glue (ribbon cable was covered in it).

New Nintendo 2DS XL: Why is my DS sometimes not waking from Sleep?

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 07:15:35 -0700

Hello friends!

I bought a Modded New Nintendo 2ds XL sometime in 2017 or 2018. Since then stopped using it for awhile formatted the micro SD that had come with it. Now I have recently picked it up again and was having issues with getting to boot properly. Turns out I needed to get all of the Luma Files,GM9 (GodMode9) back onto a new SD card. After that I was able to get it to boot properly again.

After that I was able play games for awhile but noticed that after playing some games that intermittently it would not wake from sleep! Now I have tried a few things to resolve this issue. Here's a breakdown of what I have tried.

I have ensured that both boot.firm, boot.3dsx, and config files from the latest release of Luma are pasted to the root of the SD Card.
Checked that boot.firm file has been updated in CTRNAND via GM9
Updated GM9 to latest version from GitHub
Used a new SD card and repeated steps from Above
Forced a rebuild of exdata
Re-seated battery a few times during this process

At this point I'm assuming that there is an issue with firmware corruption and will try a CTRTransfer before I start to assume that there is some weird faulty hardware.

My question to you fine folks is. What else is there left to try, did I miss anything while troubleshooting here? Does anyone have any idea what is going on and have run into any similar issues? I have went ahead and ordered a new battery as I am assuming that this one is worn and would need to be replaced at some point not that I am expecting this to fix the issue. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know and I will probably give it a try.

Thanks ahead of time to anyone willing to help!

Nintendo 3DS: 3D light of 3ds turns on, fades out and console turns off

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 08:38:56 -0700

Hello everyone I'm having a issue with my console:

At first it was working but it had the blue light and popping sound so I replaced the speaker ribbon cable (I already tried with 4 different ones) I had to solder the speakers my self no problem there.

The issue now is that after everything is connected the console won't turn on at all. But when I disconnect the speaker ribbon cable and I turn on the console, the 3D green light on the side of the top screen turns on for 1 second and fades out, that's all it happens.

What should I try next? I also tried 2 other top screens and it was the same thing

Thanks!

Nintendo 3DS XL 2015: Hardware Question Based on Step 5 of the Circle Pad Replacement

Thu, 04 Sep 2025 23:16:19 -0700

While following the circle pad replacement guide, I've ran into an issue. I can't seem to remove the bottom right screw in the 2nd image, circled in yellow. When I initially opened it, it's the one that just was not turning, and now I've %#*@ near stripped it. How can I hope to remove it without damaging my "NEW"3DS XL? Do I risk using a bit of super-glue to set the screwdriver, and remove both? I don't know if it's safe to do with an electronic device like this.
