After charging my device overnight,when turning the power switch to ON, the 2DS screen remains black and the power LED remains unlit.
Had this happen to my son’s 2DS today, and I was able to fix it. For clarity’s sake, my issue was this: no matter if the 2DS was connected to the AC adapter or not, when the power button was pressed, the blue LED would light for a couple of seconds and then extinguish. If you listened closely, you could hear the speaker “pop” when the LED turned off. How did I fix it? Follow along: Remove the battery cover, battery;Remove the back case, and gently release the rear camera ribbon cable from the mother board.On the motherboard, there are two other ribbon cables (near center). For some reason, my research landed on many people that said if the contacts on these cables get misaligned (through dropping, whatnot), it will cause the LED activity that I mentioned above.Release these two cables, then re-insert, and ensure that each cable is in completely (and straight) before clamping down again.Connect the battery, and test your DS. The reason I don’t recommend putting everything back together - my research also indicated that since these two cables are so finicky, it could take several times to get it “just right”.Gently put everything back together.Happy gamer!
It would be helpful to know more about your problem, but for general reference this troubleshooting guide has some information on your problem.
Your ds is broken or simply remove the back and check the battery for anything weird this is what happenrd to my dsi before you do this try charging it for ,24 hours if that doesn’t work do what I said above.
I had this same issue. It seemed to work again after I removed the back, reseated the battery back in, but the was a metallic rattle in the inside. When I took off the back fully there was a silver colored metal plate that had come unsoldered. Anyone know what the function of that plate was? 2ds turns on without it in there but need to know if it could cause issues if not put back on. Don’t want any hazards.
The 2DS might be in sleep mode while it’s off.
I just opened the battery case part (top two screws - size 00 Philips), took a pencil eraser and “lightly” cleaned the terminals of the battery. Dropped battery back in and it works fine

My grandsons 2ds won’t charge properly and the red light keeps flashing. What could be wrong?
I have had this Nintedo 2DS for 4 years, and now when I turn it on the blue light comes on and off,but the orange light still comes on when I charge it
The only thing i can think of is if the sleep mode is on on the bottom of the device. If it is turned to the right it means it is in sleep mode. Turn it left to turn off sleep mode to see if it works. If it isn’t still working sorry.
i have the same problem i dropped it and then it turned of and it wouldnt turn back on (and i dropped it to a like stool to the carpet so i dont underdstand)
I had my 2ds for 1 and a half year but the system has been charged and was working perfectly but 2 hours later it wasn’t working no liquid have been spilt on the device, SD card inserted, and device is fully charged. Please help me fix my 2ds. My 2ds is the one thing I spent a lot of money on.
Why is my 2ds not turning off
Hi I have a problem that my 2ds won’t even turn on and I put it on charge but it still won’t turn on
If the orange light is only showing, you may have your sleep switch in the on mode, which causes it to not turn on when it is dead or off.
Try to switch the sleep switch that help me
what do I do when don’t come on.
If you have the new 2ds xl , the power button ribbon likes to come off in some models.If you don’t, Maybe water damage, Battery dead?Or, water got to the motherboard.
Make sure the battery is making contact. My son dropped his and afterwards didn’t work. I took the back top cover off. The two very small screws if you can find a screwdriver that size. I took up the slop in battery compartment by folding a small piece of paper towel behind and doubled up to put pressure against battery and prongs. Works fine again.
I had a problem similar to this where it was charging but I couldnt turn it on. I hadnt played my 2ds in a while and realized it was on sleep mode.
I dropped my 2DS I want to say about 5 or 6 months ago and it would charge for 5 or 6 seconds then the Charger light would turn off, recently I got the 2DS back out from being on a shelf and then put it on the charger and the charger light stays on much longer, but when I try to turn it on the red light turns on and then immediately turns off afterwards. Thinking of sending it to get repaired at my Local Game Store.
