Hi people, just doing my usual stuff with my 3ds until i realise something........
I usually never set my brightness level higher then 3, but when i did try...level 4 & 5 while charging, the 3ds both screen flickers!!!!!
The 3ds is about 95-100% full, when it is fully charged, i unplug and plug back in the charger into the 3ds and werid things happens~

Hmmm... you're from Singapore.

Where did you get your 3DS from?

I got mine from qisahn and did not have any of such issue.

Try returning it.

IT'S THE 3D!

The slider is slightly raised. That's what's causing it.

Mine at 3D no such issue (but raised to full)...

Hmmm! Try turning the 3D to full or turn it off and see what happens...

It's because it's a video and the camera isn't pointed head-on like you would normally look at the screen with the 3D on.

It looks more like a voltage regulation problem than 3D.
Try someone else's charger.

I doubt it's 3D since the bottom screen is flickering too.

This is a local set console... apparently (i think) you forced the 2 pined europlug into the socket. An export with a US 2 prong would never fit into our socket.

So this charger will work fine in our region... 220 - 240V, 50 Hz...

Tsk tsk... maxsoft, why must provide a faulty charger?

Darn it! Come to think of it I have not bought a 3DS US charger!!!!

Mine does the exact same thing. I think when it is set on max brightness it pulls more amps than what the charger can push.
