Have a 3DS or other handheld system that won't charge and/ or won't power on? Most often this is caused by tripping on the power cord while the system is charging.
Solution #0:
Be epic lazy and buy a Nyko Power Pak+ for 3DS.
This bypasses the need for a functioning charging port, since you can charge up this attachment by simply laying your system on the included charging dock.
Solution #1
Plug in your charging cable and angle it with not too much force. If the orange charging light on your system suddenly turns on, then you may be able to fix this in under 60 seconds. Look closely inside your charging port to see if the two tiny metal wires are mashed down into the plastic. If so, then take a sewing needle and gently pry them up a little one at a time.
Solution #2:
If the needle trick doesn't work then likely the charging port has been partly loosed from the motherboard. Take off the battery cover, the battery, and then the bottom plastic piece. (I recommend watching a 3DS disassembly video on KZbin) Unfasten the cables connected to the L and R buttons. Then all you do is use a cheap soldering iron with a pointy tip to reflow any broken leads connecting the charging port the motherboard. Usually it will look like the solder is cracked on one of the leads near the middle. Touch it with the soldering iron for no more than 2 seconds, et voila!
Charging cord insanely hard to pull out?
Try a different charger and ensure it is official Nintendo. Sometimes tripping on the power cable will also damage the connector on its cord as well, making it deformed and difficult to remove from your 3DS. Generic chargers are almost always death-traps. Power surges and lightning strikes are seldom by cheap, generic charges so the power surge goes to your hands. Save money on about any thing, except AC adapters.
