Hi. I've started having an issue with my New 3DS (non XL) all of a sudden. I've been playing regularly for a month and suddenly while the console was in sleep mode in my pocket, my system turned off and stopped turning on. I have an aftermarket battery and it still had 50% charge when this started happening, and my original battery also was working previously. This issue happens with both of the batteries, so I doubt that's it.
Strangely, if I plug it in to charge, I can then turn it on, but it turns off immediately after unplugging the cord. Also, the orange charging light only turns on for about 5 seconds and then goes dark.
I'm aware something is wrong on a deeper level, but what could this be? I am ready to get my soldering iron and my 99% IPA out, but I have no idea what could be happening yet.
Has anyone had this happen? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My guess is that it could probably a faulty charging port, or worst case scenario, a faulty power delivery part somewhere on the board itself.
