Hello there !
So, I have this old 3ds of mine which is about to turn 9 next year, but the thing is that I've encountered a massive problem....
When I bump it, or open it, or close it, it suddenly CRASHES without warning : the power goes completely off. I've noticed that a few milliseconds before the crash, the console's upper screen goes bright and a "POP" sound is emitted.
The thing is that this crash is completely random, as I can open, close, open again the 3DS, bump it a little without anything special happening, and suddenly it crashes.
Sometimes, it doesn't crashes : only the pre-crash event (the brightness of the upper screen and the "POP" sound) are done.
This is very weird, as it never happened before, last 8 years. I don't think that it is a battery problem, because the hour and date are fine after the crash.
Some additional details : the console has a CFW since ~2 years ago, and is an Old 3ds (not XL, just 3ds). I left it in my closet for about 4 or 5 months due to quarantine, maybe that is the cause ?
I've looked for info all around the web, and only found people having the pre-crash things happening.
What's would be the cause of this ? Should I go to a repair store, electronic store (even with CFW) ? This is frightening me, I'm quite scared of losing my dear 3ds
Thanks in advance.
