Hello, I had this New 3DS bought like a year ago, I remember I turned it on, formatted the system (to delete previous owner's data) and then I put it on the shelves. Since that I never played it because I was using other consoles, the New3DS was just to fill my collection. But if it was faulty I would have notice because when I formatted it, it never did anything weird and it was turned on for at leat 30 minutes.
Now, I randomly wanted to check if the console was working and no, many many problems, it doesn't last more than 4-5 seconds because:
1) The console turns on (blue led), after some seconds the screens glitch with black squares everywhere or the screen flash quickly, and then completely freezing (sometimes the screens were freezing but the music was still going...)
or
2) The console turns on (blue led), the screens turn on, you can see the backlight activated, but they don't display anything, just black. No sound.
These are the two cases.
Before the displays glitch and freeze, there is nothing wrong, no dead pixels no mura clouds, the 3d works... so I really don't think it's a screen problem they display correctly the picture.
I tried disabling WiFi by software, no luck. I opened the 3DS, disconnected the blue cable, turned it on, still no luck
I tried waiting the battery to dry, then charging it again, no luck
I tried formatting again the memory card/removing it, no luck
I tried resetting HOME menu (L-R-DpadDown-B), no luck
I tried formatting (L-R-DpadUP-A), no luck
I spent a lot of money and I don't want to sell it on eBay for parts...I really want it working but I have no clue what could be the problem, I never saw something like this.
Do you guys have some tip?
As I said in the title, the console never had a CFW.
And as far as I know it never dropped, the conditions are excellent it barely have a scracth so I really don't know where to begin, looks like a mayor hardware problem but I can't explain it.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
This is a picture taken after around 20 seconds of standby (without touching any button), the screens and music were perfect, then suddenly the screens glitches like this, but the music didn't stop. However, by turning off and back on the volume slider, the sound disappeared. I really have no explanations.
