Hardware Notification LED problem

[RedNitro]

My 3DS's notification led has, just recently, starting showing some strange colors that won't turn off. First was red, like the low battery blinking red, except it doesn't blink. Then it became a pinkish color, followed by a light purple, then a strange orange, now it's white. Even though the 3DS itself is working properly, it still worries me a bit. Does anyone know what might've happened?

Uh...

Are you using the MCU bricker because I know it can make the LED go rainbow.

SOmetimes the colors act a bit weird but they're never persistent.

SMD rgb LED's shouldn't have physical connections issues afaik (sorry for all the acronyms, I'm saying LEDs that are copact and can shine in red blue green or a cobination of the three to ake any color)

idk whats happening, pictures would help.

Here's a picture of the most recent color. My phone's camera makes the color look really bad but eh.

how long do the colors persist?

They seem to change randomly. The LED itself only turns off when the 3DS is turned off. Immediately after the 3DS is turned on, the LED does too.

Interesting. I've had weird issues with TWLoader to where if I was using the rainbow led feature, it would sometimes continue after I turned the console off and back on. Could this be something similar?

I don't use any CFW program besides FBI and JKSM, so I don't think an app could be responsible for this. I didn't even know there were apps that could mess with the LED colors until now.

Are you actually using CFW?

I see FBI so I assume so.

Yes, but I still use emunand stuff because I'm too lazy to upgrade to A9LH/B9S.

You are not the only one: https://gbatemp.net/threads/3ds-led-is-stuck-at-pink.437090/

Try removing the battery to see if the problem is fixed. For me it didn't work tho.

In any of the cases, it will eventually go away after 1 or 2 months, you will have to deal with it in the meantime.

As long as it doesn't fuck anything up, which it doesn't seem to be doing, I'll just wait then. Thanks.
