New 3DSXL powers off during game play

Hi,
New 3DS XL just started shutting off in the middle of gameplay. Replaced battery twice, and usually after gameplay shut off, won’t turn on. Blue light appears first 2-4 times you try but no screen signal. Than after those, no blue light at all.

Orange light operates properly when charging battery. No popping noises I can hear when this happens. If i let it sit for 2-3 days, it will turn on again but then 1 minute or so into gameplay, cycle repeats. Lots of people online say the ribbon cable connecting the screen when it has a bad or damaged connection, has a feature that shuts off the console? But why blue light turns on after but no screen? I’ve seen too many potential sources of problem online to narrow the diagnosis down….thank you!
