    My 3ds won't turn on, now I'm aware that this issue has come up before, but I've tried everything in that last forum I read and nothing's working. The charging light will turn on but the pwer light won't. I tried the wireless switch, didn't work. I tried waiting, didn't work. I tried charging, still won't turn on. Could somebody help me plz? I'm freaking out here.

    OK... try this. It's worth trying to just reseat the battery. Very carefully with a small screwdriver remove the screws and back plate, take out the battery, wait about 10 seconds and put it back in, screw the back plate on. Then try turning it on.

    Try this, it gets the excess electricity out of the system, but instead of ten seconds, wait for 5 minutes to make sure even the transformers don't have anything in it.

    @Big Mike I already tried that
    @ GeneralCraezy WHY THE HECK WOULD I DO THAT?! THAT WOULD JUST MAKE IT WORSE?! PROBABLY EVEN BEYOND REPAIR!! I like your sense of humor though. I nearly choked laughing.
    @Kit Bliss I hadn't ried that yet so I did and it worked. Thx I owe you one.

    Hm, try leaving it out overnight, if that does not work, it might be broken. I'm pretty sure every 3DS in the world still has the 1 year warrenty though.

    This happened to me as well, and by simply removing the 3DS game cartridge and SD card, it worked again. You've probably already done this, but I know it worked for me.

    @everybody I tried everything I could think of. Still no luck. So I called Nintendo and am getting ready to send it in to be repaired. Thx for trying to help everyone.
