New 3DS XL charging but not turning on.

Hi, recently my 3DS has stopped working, or at least I assume so. The 3DS itself is a refurbished model from the Nintendo Store, so the quality should be alright. But with around 4-5ish months of moderate use, it just stopped turning on. I replaced the battery and tried booting it without it's SD card but no luck. So, my only options are to return it to Nintendo for repairs or try to do it myself. (also keep this from nintendo but it's has a cfw installed which is why i'm hesitant to send it in)

Answer this question I have this problem too

If the blue light is showing on the bottom right, and the screens aren't working, you can get the bottom screen to work by taking the left shoulder button out and carefully poking around near that area. If you get the bottom screen to work, don't try to get the top screen to work. There may be a crack in those little plastic things.

I wish that were the case, but there isn't any led to indicate that it's turned on. The only light that ever shows up is the orange one that appears when it's charging.

Take the left button off and see if there is damage there. There is plastic orange things and if you see damage done to them, then thats the issue. They relate to the screen power and the power of the ds.

@technicaldi8599 Hi I’m having the same issue. I know this post is old but what do you mean exactly by the left button and plastic orange things?
