NOTE: The 3DS I bought was from Walmart. I got the warranty with it but it does NOT go to Nintendo.

Does having CFW void my warranty? (I've broke my o3ds I used to have and had homebrew on it. I didn't have the SD card in it so they never gave it back for that reason)

you would a have to look at the terms and conditions,
skim through it until you find something like
"Warranty Void If" or something.

but honestly it is probably voided
I just skimmed through the terms and conditions, and it said nothing about "Warranty Void If" on any of the electronics. It isn't even under the manufacture's warranty. I always take out my SD card when I send it in for repairs.

Most of the time if you break your portable electronics and you bought the walmart insurance they just refund you the money you paid on a gift card to buy another one. This has happened to me at least 5 times. They've yet to repair anything I've filed a claim on.

If it's Wal-Mart's warranty I'm sure if you take it in store to customer service they are just going to tell you to go to electronics and get a new one for exchange. Unless you want your money back then they will probably just give you the cash.

Did you not read their replies? Walmart don't give a shit about CFW, they're not gonna do more than maybe a cursory glance to make sure it's the unit they sold you and if it's really broken, then give you a new one or money back depending on the specific plan you bought.

They repaired it for me, I had homebrew on it. I never had my SD card in my 3DS when I sent it in. Also, I'm sure they will only replace it if the motherboard was broken, had a firmware problem, or you fucking smashed it into little pieces.

Last time I checked Wal mart Employees aren't trained to fix Nintendo products. They would just replace it if anything. And yeah I'm pretty sure CFW would breach the terms of the agreement.
