3DS won't turn on, but says the battery is at 100%

The power light won't turn on much, and when it *does*, it flickers. Most of the time it won't turn on at all unless it's on the charger. Rarely, the device will "turn on" and then a second or two after, it turns off.

The one time I have seen the device turn on fully before it shut itself off, the battery icon was full. Which is weird because it won't turn on most of the time/ at all if not plugged in

The charging light also flickers, and I know the charger works, I tested it on a different system.

I'm not sure if it matters but the 3ds is modded.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

The battery may not be seated correctly, as the 3DS will still work on the charger with no battery inserted. You may want to replace the battery. I've attached the guide: 3DS Battery Replacement
