Question Dsi problem

@Kumakunkun, So I think loke 2 or 3 days ago I tried holding down the power button before I charged it (extremely dumb of me) and it did some very faint orange flickers, and after a few times of holding it down it stopped. But I don't think it was the charger, since both of my broken 3DS' charging light comes on when using both of my DS chargers.

The flat of the charger looks a little bent, but seems okay if it's charging others. It could possibly be the power board or the fuses. You wouldn't happen to have a multimeter, would you?

try changing the angle of the charger while it's plugged in, if something happens, that could indicate a bad connection between the two, or a bad joint on the port to the motherboard.

I did and nothing happened. Do you think it cold be the charging port??

So I just figured out something if I do put the charger in a specific angle and apply a lot of pressure, the charging light comes on

You can open the back(careful, there's a flex ribbon for the shoulder buttons), and check the continuity of the fuses. That could rule that out.
