I ordered a New 3DS XL from Japan a while back, and while it works well for the most part, it has a defect that's driving me mad. If the battery is depleted, the system refuses to charge or power on. Whenever I put the charger in, the orange light turns on for a few seconds, and then goes back off. If the battery runs out, I have to charge it in another 3DS to keep using it. Also, it seems to drain battery even when turned off. I have no idea what's causing this, and I haven't had any luck with figuring it out. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Are there any potential solutions?

not sure of the battery. but. for drain while shut off. Do you have a flashcard in the game card slot by chance?

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
