A couple of things to try;
- Check and clear vents of any dust
- Check the power sully is outputting the correct values
- Try the console with nothing plugged in besides the power supply (including USB cables, memory cards, etc.)
Some success stories from wordpress:
================================================================================
Same problem…different fix to those seen elsewhere.
Red flashing light. Tried all the above. No luck.
I took the little backup battery out then did a reboot.
Success.
Ps: battery requires you to unscrew the small panel on the side.
================================================================================
It sounds like a lot of users are having success by removing the battery because it might be dead or faulty.
Or you could try blowing into the fan if you notice a lot of dust on the fan. Or use a blow dryer on high. So it's most likely a battery issue, dust issue, or motherboard issue. If you try the latter 2 and nothing works, you might have to send it to Nintendo. If it's still under warranty you can get it fixed for free. Hope you can get it working.
