3DS not reading SD card

Post by Deleted User 4165 » Sun Jul 03, 2016 3:13 am

I took the SD card out before installation, and now that I got it back, the 3DS isn't reading it. Can't access EShop. I had a Sandisk card and it was a piece of shit. I bought a new one, a PNY, but it's not working either. I don't know if it was faulty or if the problem lies with the 3DS. Tried blowing on the slot, cleaning it out, and switching out other adapters, but nothing seems to work. Gonna try a better SD card, like Sony (or any other recommendations? I heard good things about Kingston). If not, could there be something wrong with the 3DS?

Make sure your new card is formatted to FAT32 as the 3DS only reads that kind of SD Card

Yeah, I formatted it last night and the 3DS still isn't reading it. I'm hoping the SD card is just faulty...
