Hey. I got my M3 Real yesterday, and now it wont even boot. It hangs on the back M3 screen as it starts up. A DSTT got stuck in it, but I pried it out. Now the M3 Real doesn't work period. I tried 3 different MicroSD, with 3 types of FW, on two different DS's. I don't know how in hell the DSTT getting stuck could mess up the M3, but it stopped working after it got caught. Are there any fixes for this?

I get this problem a lot.
make sure you're using the correct version (asia, or not)
then

back everything up, reformat to FAT32 or FAT16
and copy back WITH correct firmware.

@ Everyone: I was using the correct regions FW. I also tried various versions of Sakura. Also, I did reformat the drives several times. As to OMFG, not a fake, and worked flawlessly 'til it randomly failed.

I just decided to buy another one, as Gamezway has the worst support I've seen on an English site. 2 of the people I talked too didn't know a lick of English, the other was incoherant, and constantly contradicting what he/she said. I don't think I'd ever get it replaced at that rate.
