So, I got my 3DS three days ago and today I was playing normally and then the upper screen started to glitch and then it turned black. Now, it turns on sometimes but then it glitches and turn off again
I need help...

I can send a replacement 3DS if you're having problems. It's happened before, but so far it's been very rare. I've only seen it happen on preinstalled units so far, not mail-ins. I'm not sure whether it's just a bad screen, or a bad installation, or the board causes it, or what. The 3DSes that were sent back to me worked normally again when I got them, making it harder to figure out.

Yes please loopy.. Any colour is fine I don't mind. Thankyou let me know if you need my details again...
Yeah it comes and goes.. It was black for hours last night then came good in the morning.. Glitched a bit again today but then was fine. But seems like its happening more since yesterday
EDIT>>>well it seems fine now.. i wonder if it will happen again or it was just a one off thing? has anyone had it happen but then it went away and never happened again??????

same.. not sure what we do? i hope it doesn't happen again but not sure if it will or wont. I dont mind waiting till it screws up again then letting loopy know.. its up to loopy what he thinks we should do, i dont mind..
