ive been playing animal crossing and everytime i close the lid of my 3ds and open it again the game proceeds to freeze and the console turns off, when i turn it on again the blue light turns on for a second then turns off again (usually a sign that the sd card isnt being read) so i reinsert the sd card and it works fine

at first i thought the problem was ctgp 7 since it started with that, and sometimes when going back to the home menu after playing itd give this error abt something something failed to swap sd card or whatever, id love to know if its something internal or external thank yall in advance

tldr; when playing games and closing the lid the game freezes and 3ds turns off(sd card issue)
 
It sounds like maybe the top screen ribbon cable is loose. Carefully open up the console, and confirm the top screen's ribbon cables are secured. I recommend following a guide on iFixit.
