Bonjour,

Tout d’abord merci pour ces explications claires et précises. Toutefois, je me demandais s’il y avait un endroit où l’on peut trouver une batterie officielle Nintendo ? Après quelque recherches je n’ai malheureusement rien trouvé (et comme la console est vieillissante…)?

Bonjour Nicolas Si vous voulez une pièce de nintendo, vous devez être en amérique ou au canada car nintendo ne vend des pièces que dans ces pays, je peux vous donner le site Web pour les états-unis et le canada si vous le souhaitez.

The battery didn't work at all. After replacing the old battery I plugged it in and the charging light would go off after a few seconds. I tried to turn on the 3ds with the new battery in and all that would happen is the blue light would flash for less than a second and the 3ds wouldn't turn on
