My 3ds won't charge in Europe (I'm from the US) and I bought several adapters. My laptop and phone work fine but for whatever reason my 3ds won't charge.... (and I know it isn't broken because it charged right before I left) Does anyone know anything to help me?? Thank you :)
 
What sort of charger are you using? I frequently travel to the us (I'm european) I use an american charger when I go over there, not an adapter... but uh... it seems I have lost my us charger lol.

Anyways are you using a a usb charger (plugging into a laptop etc) or a charger with an adapter plug? I'd suggest popping into a gamestop or GAME if you're in the uk to get a usb charger. It should work no bother. I'd assume the problem is the adapter plug if that's what you're using. Plugging into your laptop with a usb should work?

Thank you!! I'm currently in Italy. I was using an adapter that converts the plug to a regular US plug. I have 6 different adapters and tried them all with no luck. I'm not close to any game stores but I'll check online possibly but I'm not sure if I can receive mail here :(
