Hardware Cannot display the software on the SD Card. The SD Card could not be accessed.

Has anyone ever managed to fix this error before ?
All the solutions i could find online expected faulty sd cards, but when i put mine into another 3ds it works perfectly.

It displays software on the other one? You can't switch SD cards and play software on both 3DS's.

Its not able to read the SD Card at all, i tried the sd card that came with the system as well and it showed the same error

Try unlocking the SD card?

The SD Card is in the unlocked position, when i pull the switch down it tells me that the sd card is locked as it should

Open it in a computer and transfer the content to another SD card and see if it works.

2 different empty fat 32 formatted sd cards, same error :/

It might be a problem with the system then. All I can suggest is to see if there's still any warranty on it, and try getting it repaired.

I soldered something to the nand pinouts, never getting near the left side of the board though
(It didnt work before i did anything to it as well but i figured it was a fluke, i only buy cheap used ones from flea markets=

I will try and solder the sd card directly to the connectors !

After removing the sd card slot from the board the multimeter(and me soldering a card directly to the pins) says: one of the pins is not conducting !
Directly soldering should fix that!
