Hardware rattling inside the 3DS?

[Seaking]

well, after i went walking alot at night with the 3DS in my coat pocket the right side started having a rattling noise. now that i carry it in my shirt pocket it has another rattling noise on the left side

.
what causes this? how can this be fixed?

this makes me scared...

it's the gyroscope.
there's a thread in here already about it.
search next time sweetheart.

Mine has no rattling whatsoever.
Yes, it probably is the gyroscope, but it should NOT rattle.

 

[Seaking]

the gyroscope is built into the top screen...right?
my rattling is on the bottom one

I noticed some kind of rattling too, but I found out what it was. I held down (as in: duct-taped) every slider and button on the 3DS and shook the 3DS afterwards. And ta-dah: no more rattling.

I assumed it was a pedometer separate to the gyroscope, all pedometers make this noise.

Take out the stylus and try again. My stylus makes a bit of a rattling sound when it's in the 3DS, along with the aforementioned pedometer sound.

This is most likely (or hopefully) the case. At one point I noticed a rattle when I tilted my 3DS forwards and back, but determined it was the stylus rather quickly.

The gyro sensor is in the bottom screen, I tested it with Dead or Alive at the title screen. If I tried to move the upper screen nothing bottom yeah.

It is your stylus. I had the same problem, like they said remove it and try it again. I think the original stylus that came with the 3DS is useless. I use my stylus that came with the accessory packet I bought. It still rattles but not so much as with the original stylus.

hope this helped a bit.

If it still forth-comes that it rattles. Call Nintendo they may know what the issue is.

Mine doesn't really rattle...

Hmm, I guess it's the stylus.

 

[Nollog]

It's a combination!

I was in a hurry so just wanted to say it was normal and type the least letters.

Open your 3DS, pull out the baby snake thats been making rattling noises. Problem solved!

Its the pedometer, I'm sure all 3DSes make a little rattle noise or something.

Possible rattling things

-stylus
-the inisde parts (the meters, above mentioned)
-Sliders, my dsl sliders for sound rattle
