Hi there!
So, I recently bought a 3DS from eBay for approximately $30. The 3DS did have a problem, and I was completely aware of that... but I decided to take it for $30 rather than the $300 that it goes for in Wal-Mart where I live. It arrived late last night and I recently got it in my hands (as it was sent to my grandfather first), after which it went to my father so he could dig inside and see what was wrong.
The 3DS in question has a fully charged battery (the battery was outputting the proper amount of volts, and when the charger was plugged in, the orange light would turn on for about five seconds and turn back off), but no matter what we do, we can't seem to get it to turn on.
And now my question to you guys: what do you think the problem is? The charging port is in order, the battery is fully charged, and the charger seems fine... what could be going on?
