Nintendo 3DS: How do I fix my 3DS Error Problem?

Fri, 31 May 2013 17:38:25 -0700

When I turn my 3DS on after about a minute or so it will say

" An error has occurred. Hold down the POWER Button to turn off the power, then turn it on and try again. For help, visit support.nintendo.com."

I have checked the website and tried to turn it off and on several times but nothing seems to be working.

I believe I know what caused it, while reaching for something i knocked my 3DS off of my desk maybe 2.5-3 feet.

Anyone know whats wrong and how to fix it?

Nintendo 3DS: No power - makes a popping sound - fails to turn on.

Hello,

I have 3 (three!) 3DS systems that when you press the power button, the blue light turns on for a second, and then the screen flashes with a popping sound and the system is off.

Any idea on what's going on here? I read something once about a fuse, but that was long ago.

Thanks,

Andrew
