Hi! I stopped playing my 3DS XL for 2-3 Months leaving it fully charged in a extreamly padded case inside my purse.. Last night i go to play it and it wouldn't want to power on while showing no Red lights no other lights but the blue power one, so i let it be on the charger for a bit and it has the lights like if it was not fully charged.. I did notice the battrey bars in the corner of the top screen has ALL but one bar and did since the first power on last night and i guess it has been like this for 2-3 months. But off in a extreamly padded case inside my purse. So i left it on charging for about 1-2 hours today and i go to use it and it says it has full battrey bars now but stays on for about 5-15 mins.since last night it has only stayed on for 5-15 mins. and i see no nice of the battrey being dead since the bars on the console while being on say full BUT while it is completely off and charging it acts like its super dead.
Do i leave it on the charger overnight?
Is this a bad battrey?
Does my battrey need to be replaced?
If so where can i find a 3DS XL battrey?
And if i need to replace the battrey can i easily do it myself?
Will my 3DS system be okay even with how much it has unexpectly turning off?
Is is this some sorta hardware / software issue?
Another thing, i went to get the verison of the 3DS os i am using since i recently just updated and the system would not power on even with no other light just blue BUT while holding down the power button the system powered on (But as you know holding down the power button turns off the 3ds after asking you) When i removed my thumb off the power button thinking after the screen asking me to power off meant it would stay on but it ddnt, it powered off even while it said it was fully charged.
I have not even had this 3DS XL for one year... and when i bought it off of eBay it was fully funictonal and 0 problems.
