Right, so I was given a 3DS by a friend because they don't use it anymore, but I need a bit of help diagnosing this problem.
The 3DS 90% the time cannot read carts (yea tried with paper trick etc), but the other 10% the system freezes and I have to do a hard reboot. Also, when putting a game in, sometimes all the applets will lose their banners, and if I click anything or close/open the console it freezes.
I took the back cover off and made sure it wasnt water damaged or damaged at all, and honestly everything is in tact. So I am unsure to think it is hardware-based.
Has anyone else had this problem and managed to diagnose the cause or possibly even fix it?
edit: if I put a DS cart in then turn it on, the screen will light up and freeze, so it wont even go tot he HOME menu;-;
