my 3ds isn’t working

you're welcome!! just make sure it's the correct battery for your model, the 3DS and 3DS XL have different sized batteries. you can find replacement batteries on ebay for less than $10 😊 please keep us updated!
yess! i think i’ll buy one on amazon. I hope this will solve the problem. The battery may be like 10 yo bc my 3ds is second handed so it would make sense.

personally, i do want to gently suggest buying from ebay sellers since am*z*n and their ceo are not things i want to support however ultimately i can't dictate what you do, i did see the ebay had better prices and ebay's return policy has been excellent, in my experience!

If the battery doesn't work, you could try aniko's suggestion of replacing the charging port! i'm afraid of soldering but i've dabbled in electronics repair with other devices and sometimes that is the solution.

oh i see! i think i’ll get it from ebay since the prices are better! i’ll update soon!
 
update…the charging base arrived, but the 3ds isn’t charging neither 😭😭

Idk what to do
If nothing else works, change the charging port. If you don't want to do it yourself, you may have someone around you who is able to use a soldering iron. It's not hard to do, just that the part is very small, so it takes a small soldering iron for electronic (that you may borrow from someone). You will also need the Nintendo screwdriver but those usually come with the battery (if you order a new one)
 
update: I JUST REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT WORKED!! I’m so freaking happy!! haven’t played acnl in 5 months

Huge congratulations on getting your 3DS back working!! Sorry you ended up buying stuff that didn't work in the end, but I'm glad that the battery replacement worked out!
