Looks like my Nintendo 3DS stopped charging properly tonight. As it turns out, the charging pins within the system has bent upwards so much, that my charger connector is now failing to make contact, unless I put the system upside down. Guess it's all the wear and tear that's killing it. When the pins do finally give, I guess that's the end of the system after two batteries (I have a spare).
Anyone else had a charging disaster on their hands, especially caused by connector failure? What do you do to minimize the impact? Have you compromised?
In the meantime, looks like it's time for me to hunt for deals on a Nintendo 3DS XL.
