3DS turns on just when the charger is connected

Hello,

I bought this 3DS on ebay as faulty. It does turn on but just when the charger is connected, otherwise it does not turn on without it. I already tested the battery and one F1 fuse and EM1 inside. I am all confused what could cause this. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated. Please don't answer any non-technical thing, e.g. send it to nintendo and similar to that.

When you say you tested the battery, how did you check it? Do you have power on your contacts when you plug your 3DS in? Your contacts are all okay, no debris or corrosion. Both fuses have continuity?

oldturkey03,

I have the same problem with a 3DS bought on eBay. Has anyone managed to figure this out?

misterkeating,

Hello, Thanks for the reply. I checked the battery on another 3ds and used a new one on this. The contacts are all OK and no sign of corrosion is visible. I am suspicious this 3ds was one of those ones they put in the stores for people to test before they but, cause I saw some pictures taken from different people in a store. I think it was connected all the times to the plug, but still don't know what is nonfunctional inside that causes this problem.

mixmixi,

So when you use a new fully charged battery, will it come on?

oldturkey03,

It does not matter if the battery is fully charged or not, if the charger is not connected it won't turn on. Very strange!
