Nintendo 3DS 2015: Even after battery replacement, light is blinking red after a few minu

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 14:53:47 -0700

I replaced the battery on my N3DS about a month ago. I have already fully drained out the new battery and charged overnight my console so to "reset" the battery, but the Battery Status still is misleading. After a few minutes of a full charge, the indicator light start blinking on red as if it was "critically low".

It is very annoying since I play a lot of RPGs on it and I'm afraid I'll lost a hours of farming if it turns off when the battery is finally runs dry. Has anyone been able to solve this issue?

Joy-Con: My right joy-con is not being recognized as connected into the switch.

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 11:08:11 -0700

Hi, I have a problem my switch does not recognize the joy con as connected when i slide it in the switch. The joy con still works but only wirelessly. It does get charged but nothing else. I tried other joy-cons with no luck.

I ordered a new right rail from eBay. I thought the rail might be the problem . I replaced it successfully but no change. If anyone has an idea i would appreciate it.

Nintendo Wii U GamePad: Why do I have an unstable connection with the new battery replacement?

Mon, 07 Sep 2026 08:55:56 -0700

I have a black Wii U with a Wii U GamePad, model WUP-010 (EUR). The battery is significantly deteriorated due to use, so I purchased a new 3,600 mAh battery (IF207-041-3) (WUP-001).

After installing the new battery and completing the calibration charge cycles, I tried playing The Wind Waker HD. However, an error screen appears from time to time and remains visible for a few seconds. It flashes on and off so quickly that I had to record the screen and pause the video in order to read the message.

The message says that the connection to the console has been lost and recommends charging the GamePad. It does not always appear at the same frequency: sometimes I can play for fifteen minutes without interruptions, while other times it appears over 20 times in five minutes.

I tested the old battery, and the message does not appear when I use it. Is there any solution?

Thank you.

Nintendo 3DS XL 2015: My R Button is stuck down, how do I fix it?

Sun, 06 Sep 2026 03:04:07 -0700

The button is stuck in the "pressed" position. To get my 3DS to respond as if it weren't being press, I have to pull the edge of the button up. When it goes back down, I do not hear the clicking sound the other 3 shoulder buttons make when they're pressed. The button is stuck down on the right, away from the center of the system. I've uploaded some images as well.

The first and 3rd images are of my L button, which isn't broken. They're there for quick reference.

Nintendo 2DS: 2DS Black Screen while power on

Sat, 05 Sep 2026 20:37:25 -0700

So a few days ago, I left my 2DS on the sleep mode for a while and I might or might not drop it accidentally. I don't remember and found out later that when i push the power button to turn it on, the blue led lights and the screen is black,

not black like it was turn off but black we definitely see that it is turn on but won't show anything. (backlight working probably?)

I tried to hold the power 10 seconds and wait but the only image i can see is when I push the power button when it's on and it asks you if you are sure if you want to turn it off. From there, and from there only, I can push the home button and it shows the white screen telling you you're going to the home screen. but it is stuck there and won't go to the actual home screen.

I want to know what exactly is the problem here and if you know how to fix it i would be grateful.

thank you

Nintendo Wii: How do I fix my screen? It's green!

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 04:22:33 -0700

I turned on my Wii and it was working like normal, then I went to USBLoaderGX and turned-on Super Mario Galaxy 2 (It's not working for other games either). It started to load and then there was a blank green screen. The Wii was frozen. I had to unplug the power just to turn it back on and if I tried to play the game again, it would do the same thing. Btw I don't think this is a contributing factor, but the Wii won't read discs. I'm not using a disc to play Super Mario Galaxy 2. One more thing, the model is RVL - 001. How do I fix it?

Nintendo 3DS XL 2015: My screen will freeze instantly

First of all I try and power my 3ds and the screens will not turn on but the blue light is present. I boot it into safe mode, my screen will instantly freeze and I will be unable to connect to the internet or update my system. Removed the micro sd card to rule out a corrupted card. The freezing problem will still remain. What can I do to get my system to stop instantly freezing

Nintendo 3DS XL 2015: New 3DS XL constant error screen

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 21:52:26 -0700

I tried to boot up my 3DS after 1-2 years since I last touched it, when plugged into a charger the charging light only shows up after 10-20 minutes of charging, once I turn it on it works for a few minutes and then starts stuttering and finally freezes at the "An error has occurred" screen, holding the power button doesn't turn it off unless I take the battery out. The blue light goes off briefly before coming back on just before the error screen shows up.

So I've swapped the battery, disabled the wifi, removed the SD card but the error screen still shows up after working for 1-2 minutes

Nintendo Switch 2: Using Switch 2 without any Bluetooth when docked?

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 02:33:01 -0700

With the first generation of Switch (which I’ll call “Switch 1”), it is possible to use the console in dock mode (plugged to a TV) while preventing the console to emit Bluetooth. As documented there in the last two comments, all you need to do is use only a wired controller and enable the setting that forces it to communicate with the console via its cable.

I’m wondering if the same thing could be done on Switch 2.

The user manual says that, when docked, the console always activates its Bluetooth antenna. This behaviour is identical to Switch 1. However, I suspect it does not emit any signal as long as no wireless controller tries to communicate with it. This is how Switch 1 works, thus enabling to play in docked mode without any Bluetooth.

I contacted customer support at Nintendo. Twice. But the persons I got in touch with did not understand my question, and replied that I “just need to turn off Bluetooth”, which is impossible when the console is plugged to a TV (as Nintendo’s own user manual says).

A friend of mine confirmed that the setting to force wired controllers to communicate via their cable is still present on Switch 2. So the only remaining question really is to know whether the Bluetooth antenna stays silent as long as not wireless devices tries to communicate with it, exactly as Switch 1 did.

Thanks for any help!

Nintendo 3DS XL: 3ds hinge keeps popping back

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:22:31 -0700

Dear people from the internet,

My brother dropped his 3ds XL and hereby he broke the case of his 3ds XL. My other brother and I bought him a new case and I'm trying to put the motherboard from the old case in the new one. Since the hinge got lost, I bought a new one for him, but I can't seem to put it in the case. I tried to follow the steps from this movie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVn_m_OI... see 10:24 ) . I did al the other steps via ifixit pictures, but I couldn't find a good picture for the hinge.

Whenever I try to open the 3ds XL, the hinge keeps popping back (see https://vimeo.com/200072013).

Does someone know if I'm doing something wrong or if I bought the hinge for another 3ds or something?

Thanks in advance by a sister who lost all hope...
