The Nintendo 3DS XL 2015, marketed as the New Nintendo 3DS XL, was released October 11, 2014 in Japan and February 13, 2015 in North America.

Why is my New 3DS XL always have blinking red lights?

I have a new 3DS XL and recently, I accidentally dropped it on the carpet. After opening it up to check its state, I have been having blinking red battery light. Having said that, the device can be played for hours. Tried to charge it but, while it does, the battery light only changes to continuous red and the orange charge light does not turn off to show battery is fully charged.

I read many posts on potentially similar issues. I tried to recalibrate the battery to see if it would resolve the issue but it didn’t work.

I also got a new battery but the situation remains the same so, it sounds like a hardware issue (?)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi!

Weird issue. You don’t hear that one often!

If another battery is having the same exact issue, it’s probably something else…

I would open it up and check all the cables and connections, are they still fine??

How are the battery pins? Still good? Not damaged?

Would also clean the battery pins and motherboard with isopropyl alcohol.

You can also test another battery just to be sure.. if the same issue persist, you might want to check or replace the motherboard..

Please let me know if you need any guides!
