Hello!
First time posting here. I couldn't find a 2DS related subforum (not really popular enough I guess) so I decided to post here since the 2DS is more closely related to the 3DS than other DS handheld console hardware.
So I'm trying to repair my sister's 2DS where the 2DS does not show a charging light when you plug the power cable in. I did some basic things such as making sure the charging port can receive power and made sure that the 2 micro fuses (one near the charging port and one near the battery) are working properly, which is the case. Other than that, I'm not too sure why it's not normally showing the charging light. I tried a different charger cable and still the same issue.
The battery works fine as it can hold a charge fine and I can always manually charge it and can power on the Nintendo 2DS no problem and play fine. It's just the charging aspect of the 2DS that does not work. One interesting thing to note is that while I have the charger plugged into the 2DS and I take the battery out, I do see the orange charging light indicator light up for a few seconds and then goes off. If I put the battery back in while the orange light turns on during that moment, then the orange light will immediately turn off. Not too sure what's going on here.
Hoping someone familiar with 2DS repairs might be able to chime in and offer some insight here.
Thanks so much!
