Charging Base doesn't light up. Battery is in correctly and controller is working. Battery came with charge so not sure if that's why no light on Nyko

There are two lights on this device that should be lit whenever a controller is docked. When this device is charging a corresponding light will indicate that controller is being charged by a red or green indicator. When controller is fully charged only a white indicator will be lit when docked.

If the item is new and its not charging its because you installed the batteries incorrectly. On other hand if you had this item for a couple of months then it seems the batteries are dead because they die out not long after use. No replacement batteries sold by manufacturer.

If the battery had a charge when it arrived, he base won't light up. Once its drained and placed on the charger it should light up, and then turn off again when its fully charged.

Did you just buy it? If yes let the charge waste all the way and when it is done put it on charge if it charges it then the charge works but the light feature is defective. You can always contact the seller and request a replacement and if it was sold by amazon call them and tell them that you are disappointed and you want a new one with next day shipping at no charge and they will accept because it is their fault. If it is a 3rd party seller ask them to ship one at now charge to you and if they say no then threaten them with a 1 star rating. Good luck

Yes the base is necessary and that's where you can charge the battery. The Nyko battery is attached to a cover replacing the 3DS bottom cover and i haven't tried it you but i don't think you can charge the Nyko battery without the base.

Double check that you have the batteries in the charger correctly, charge them and it should work. Return it via Amazon

i was having this issue as well...but i read that there is a RED light that turns on when the battery is charging...so i played with the USB that is plugged into the unit, and found that the red light turns on when its plugged about HALFWAY in. i checked, and it IS in fact charging. try adjusting the B side of the USB (mini part thats in the actual unit) before you return it.

Yes, when I charge the battery the light shows a full charge, but the battery is still dead.

If I charge it, there are four indicator lights that come on. If it's completely empty, none will go on, but as it charges, it should build up from none to four (four lights on means it's fully charged). You may want to wait a while and see if one comes on, if not then I'd say it doesn't work...

Although I read about this sort of thing from some other reviewers, I did not have this problem. I added the charged batteries, turned it on, and it worked. I don't know if there's a remedy other than exchanging the product. Sorry.

Make sure the "on" switch is OFF when you plug it in to charge it, the red light will come ON if its charging. It wont charge if the switch is still "on", like I've done a couple times when I let it run out of power while I was watching it. I forgot to turn it "Off" and it didnt charge when I plugged it in to charge. If that doesnt work, then maybe your battery is defective and you could send it back if its under warrenty still.

There's supposed to be a light that lights red when it's charging, but mine never worked. Yo uprobably have a defective product if it isn't lighting up.

Mine was working immediately after charging. You might need to replace yours.

The base unit had indicator lights showing when it is and isn't charging. As well as power and mode

When I charge mine, I plug it in & turn both power buttons on. When all three lights are bright I then considered it charged.

Charge it overnight using the USB cable with the smaller connector plugged into the cube and the USB end plugged into power source. If it still only play for a little bit after charging over night then you may have a defective battery.

usually when you charge it , it should have a blue / red light that pops up. if it doesnt, it can be broken or you didn't charge the charger yet (:

Make sure your usb port is supplying 5 volts. Lights should be on when charging, if they are already or reach fully charged no lights.

Agree with other 2, make sure it charged because that's how you turn it on. I've had no trouble with mine, works beautifully.
