So, I was sitting down, playing some Xenoblade Chronicles X (still a great game by the way, even today), and the GamePad’s battery dies—it only lasts like 25-30 minutes at most, used to be a lot longer. I go to plug it in, nothing interesting there. But, I noticed that the orange light wasn’t on. I’m suspecting it’s the charger that came out of the box kicking the bucket, with, of course, the usual wear-and-tear. But at the same time, I’m thinking it might be the charging port on the controller itself. Could I get a ink and some help on how to replace the charging port? If you’ve gotten this far, thank you for reading this.
I suspect the battery is kicking the bucket. After all, I can say for certain that a New 3DS XL will not show any battery indicators if there is no battery in the device. I would assume that Nintendo would use similar technology in their home consoles. If nothing else, try the charging stand. I use it and it works for me.
