Faulty power button? Not responding at all.

So after getting back on my new 3ds xl after a few months, I found it would not boot. The charging light did appear, and I gave it a while, but still no boot. Somehow, after removing battery, holding the power button, reinserting battery and pressing power button again, I managed to get the console to boot into a Luma menu.

When the console was on, it operated as normal, but I couldn’t open the shut down menu, as the power button wouldn’t respond. After shutting down the console via Rosalina, I am unable to repeat the same method of booting the console.

Any advice?

@darthmango , is this related to any mod? Or more hardware related? Just want to be sure if it could be related to the software/mod!

Thanks!

I’m not too entirely sure, but from my troubleshooting I believe it is hardware related? Though I am open to any advice anyone can offer me.

@dan0 Sounds like hardware to me. Unless OP was wiping critical memory regions, I'm betting on a failing power button

Hi!

Thanks for the comments :)!

In this case, it would be a great start to replace the power button first.

You can follow this guide: New Nintendo 3DS XL 2015 A-, B-, X-, Y-, Start- of Select-knop vervangen

After this, you can remove the screws for the power button and replace it.

Would test that first and see how it goes.

Please let me know if you need anything else, thanks!
