For those guys with the perma ban 002-0102&022-2812, just a warning, please don't sell your console to gamestop or any other trade in store! The only solution for you is a motherboard swap, get one over aliexpress and swap the old one with the new one. This is the only solution by now.
Hey now that's a neat idea, would the system have to be re-CFW'd all over again? Might do this for my buddy instead of letting him buy a new 3DS, I'm the one that CFW'd it for him after all.
