Topic: 3DS Update Needs Fixing!

Mr_DSi

Hey guys, so I recently updated my 3DS and unfortunately, I seem to be having some problems with this new update. Here are a few things that I have been having trouble with. Everything was working fine but then it suddenly stopped connecting to the internet and I know that it was my 3DS's fault because my brother's was working just fine. I had to kill the battery before it finally worked again. Second, every time I open it from sleep mode, both screens go black and I have to turn it off (I lost 3 hours worth of progress in OOT :,( ). And finally, (the most annoying one) it has stopped reading DS games. Now, I am not sure if this is the update's problem but I always take great care of my 3DS! I have never dropped it and it does not have any scratches or anything like that. Are any of you guys experiencing any of these problems?

I briefly had a problem similar to this — it wasn't reading DS games and refused to wake from Sleep Mode. However, it happened well before the recent firmware update, at least a couple months ago. And, it pretty much fixed itself after I force shut down the system. Dunno what to tell you, but if it doesn't work itself out, might be time to think about calling up Nintendo. Good luck!

Dont worry about it too much. Try shutting down your system and try it later. If the problem isnt gone in the next few days - Call Nintendo. You will probably still have your years warranty and from what I hear they're very good at fixes (even replacements if it comes to that).

And they give you a new 1-year warranty with each repair. Or does that only apply to replaced systems?

Both repaired and replaced systems get a 1-year warranty.

Hello, a few days after the update, the 3DS stopped connecting to the internet. It then came back and a few hours later it stopped working again.

My 3ds doesn't work too but its not because of the update because I cant even get the update because of this problem. If you turn the wireless communication button on,after a few seconds the 3ds goes blank and says this "An error has occurred please turn of your system and try again" but i tried again and again and its the same thing. I'm already planning to get it fixed but i like to hear from you first.

Save as much as humanly possible. Words to live by for all portable gamers, especially gamers playing on the pathetic 3DS battery.

Fixed that for ya. Blackouts are more unpredictable than some "pathetic" battery

I would worry, but not too much for two reasons.
1. My 3DS was doing this about 3 months ago, but has been working properly ever since.
2. If you got a REAL warranty, Nintendo should fix it right up for you!

Hope everything gets better though...
