I got my Aqua Blue 3DS at 8am this morning, and it was glorious.
Played it for a few hours that morning, went to my lecture, then went back the store I bought it from so I could go see my brother.
Ended up playing it whilst lurking in there, and started exploring the photo options.

That's when it happened, I switched the camera effect to "solarise" and it freaked out, the outer camera image at the top screen wouldn't update, the touchscreen wouldn't respond, etc.
I was able to force quit with the home button, but the problem wouldn't go away.
After that, sometimes one of the cameras would fail, one lense just being a black screen, sometimes with horizontal green lines or dots.
Other times, the outer-camera would be pitch black whilst the inner camera worked just fine.

The guys at the store looked at it pretty intensely, one last time I tried it out, went to the camera settings and the thing crashed entirely, giving an error has occured screen.

Yikes, anyway that system with a couple hours of my playtime on it is gone now, I was traded a second 3DS which is working just fine.
This was probably an absolute fluke, a one in a thousand flaw, but I still think it was worth telling.

Anyway, here's a Mii I made, it's meant to be Reggie.

Did you notice any strange noise coming from the left hinge on either of them when you opened and closed the unit?
No, I mean it squeaked barely but that was it.
Before anyone asks, I tried face raiders and the screen was totally black, with the face characters showing up on screen.
 
Hopefully, my 3DS will be fine when I get it.

That's quite an odd bug, though.

As for the Reggie Mii, use this QR Code.

It's the official Reggie Mii.
 
My hinge seems a bit loose well not that loose, I dunoo maybe it's meant to be that way as with the DSi I'm pretty sure it was tough to begin with and slowly the hinge loosens up.
