Does anyone know what to do with a 3DS XL that turns off shortly after powering it on? The LED is said to light up blue which seems normal from what Google told me.
P.s the 3ds xl does not come with a charger from Nintendo. When I bought mine when it released in Japan it didn't come with one and here in the US also they don't come with a charger.
My US Pikachu 3DS XL did come with a charger from Nintendo...I'm looking at it right now. It has the Nintendo logo and everything.
If you have a DSi XL, the charger on it will work with the 3DS XL.
If the blue light still lingers, that means its in sleep mode (that slow glow with the LED). Try couple things:
-Battery pull: remove the battery for several minutes then reinstall it.
-Reset: Hold the shoulder buttons and power button.
Here's the troubleshooting page:

The batteries in the XL's tend to last pretty long if they haven't been powered on for a while.
