I’ve had this 3DS for a few years now, and recently it started draining the battery even while completely turned off. The console only holds a charge for about 3-4 days when it’s powered off before the battery dies.

    I did some research and most people suggested replacing the battery since it still had the original one from when I bought it. I bought a new OEM battery, but the problem persists. After doing multiple tests, both the new and the old battery last about the same amount of time while the console is turned off which is 3-4 days.

    Could this be a short on the board or maybe a cable making contact inside? Any tips would be appreciated. I’m probably going to take it to my local repair shop so they can take a look, but I’d like to know what it could be beforehand.

    1. well even when the system is completely off it still uses the battery to keep track of the time so that’s probably one reason
