3DS Repair : How to fix a dead New 3DS XL (Not turning on, No power)

  • This video is about my customer's New 3DS XL. The console cannot be turned on. Replacing the battery didn't solve the problem either. It stays dead.
    The orange LED lit while charging the console. But when I pressed the power button, there was a glimpse of faint red LED turned on and off for a second.
    Both fuses on the motherboard seem okay. The problem lies on the IC soldered on the button board. I reflowed it, and the console revived from the dead.
    Enjoy the video.

    I think you may have narrowed down my post problems. Thanks a lot! I swear, it was so hard to find information before I came across this video.

    Thank you for this video. I recently purchased a New 3DS XL and plan to completely refurbish it (new casings, buttons, etc) and get all of the old Pokemon, Zelda, etc games for it before the eshop closes down permanently in March. This video has shown me that it's not quite as complicated "under the hood" as I had thought!

    Hi there. I can confirm this worked on my New 3DS XL system. I had the message "an error occured, please hold on the power button and contact nintendo if it occurs again". Then full black screen and no boot. I reflowed the chip as you mentionned; but I also had to clean the top right corner yellow ribbon (itself, not the connector) that can be seen at 5:08 on your video. Somehow, some oxydation/black stuff appeared on it. I removed it with WD40 and a teeth brush, gently moving over it's surface until the oxydation was removed. During the repair process, I also removed the mainboard to check it's back side, but when putting it back in, some of the tiny plastic holder broke (I think it was allready broken before as the console fell many times and I had trouble removing this particular ribbon). I used hot glue to keep the ribbon in place, and by some kind of luck the console seems to behave as normal, except that the home menu doesn't trigger anymore. All in all thank you as your video spare me to buy another console. Special Hot resistent tape around it made the trick so as to avoid burning other components when reflowing the chip with the air station. Take your time and good luck everyone. D.N

    Quick question, my 3ds has completely dead “sort of” i used to the same think in the video until I had gotten a new charger and it worked then all of a sudden it broke again and for a day or two it did the blinking light thing until it just fully died no blinking lights or anything. I am so sad because worked an extra job just to try and get one and now it’s not working. What do i do?

    Hey I have a question. I replaced the abxy board recently but now it's not charging. The orange light turns on when plugged in but the battery charge doesn't go up. It didn't do this before i had to replace the board. Did I get a faulty board?
    Wanna also add I've checked mostly everything else (battery, fuses, charger, etc)

  • @sulemaromero7414
    @sulemaromero7414 3 месяца назад

    Can I apply this solution to my console?
    My problem started after putting the battery in backwards (positive pole with the negative). I had the console disassembled because I was trying to fix another problem and accidentally put the battery in the wrong polarity and then it wouldn't turn on. I have already tested the two fuses that you mention in the video (I don't know if there are more than two) and they both have continuity.
    The console charges the battery, because when I connect it, the charging indicator LED turns on. When I disconnect the charger, the charging LED stays on until I remove the battery. When I try to turn on the console, it doesn't give any sign of life, not even the red LED that you mention in the video. I would like to know if there is another way to approach the problem or if the method you mention in the video would work in my case because I don't want to mess it up even more. I have also tried cleaning the connectors.

    Hi, thanks for the video. I had a similar issue with the Y button so that I cleaned up the contact. After pluging back the daughter board and making sure connecting ribbons was well seated, I could not turn on the 3DS... I tested both power fuses and they are OK. I do not have the blue LED on either but orange LED for charging is OK. Owning a second 3DS, I swapped daughter boards to figure out the problem. Same issue for both 3DS. I swapped daughter boards back and now I can't turn them both on... I guess there is a security mode or whatever... Anything to test???

    I really need an answer (i know this video was old, but i had a problem), i had the same New Nintendo 3DS XL just like in this video for about 5 years, today i tried to look inside my unit (only where the battery was) and took out the battery only to look at it.
    Because around June 2019 and two days ago, my 3ds got pop sound and when i turn it on the unit start to red light, meaning the battery was out of power, when i turn on again many minutes later without charge it, it become blue with 2,3, or 4 bar left, my 3ds also got that pop sound when i tried to put my system to sleep mode sometimes, i had a feeling i need to check the motherboard, but i'm not a professional to fix my 3ds.
    After i look at the battery and put it again, my 3ds won't turn on, like dead, after all i already charge this about many hours ago before i comment this, when i try to charge it, the orange light won't turn on either.
    So here my question:
    1. Is this maybe the battery issue or something wrong inside the unit?
    2. Am i doing wrong? Open my unit only to look and clean the unit where the stylus, sd card, and battery in there with tissue (btw i didn't remove the sd card, only battery and i only clean my stylus holder), but is this wrong?
    3. Is the non-official nintendo ac adapter affect the motherboard issue? Because idk if this affect it
    (Anyways, i'm sorry if this was long, i can't explain this in small detail, also are you Indonesian? I saw from this comment and i'm also Indonesian too (is ok to reply with english too))

      It’s been a year, but the same thing is happening to me and I’m pretty sure the charging port got disconnected from the motherboard internally. You can either open it up carefully and try to fix the problem yourself, or just send it to Nintendo

    @desmondlau1385 6 лет назад

    What is that chip for? And why do you reflow it? What is reflow anyways? Why does reflow solve the problem? Is this solution permanent or its just a temporary fix?

    • @sthetixofficial
      @sthetixofficial  6 лет назад +5

      +desmond lau i think that chip is responsible for power management. Reflow is making the solder good again. It will be permanent solution if the chip is still ok. But if the chip is bad then reflowing is just temporary. Nothing to loose.
