I'm not sure if anyone will bother reading this but never-the-less....
From now on, once a question is answered I'll post a copy of it here along with the quote(s) I think best answer the question, so that future members can use this thread as a quick reference.
3DS WARRANTY:
Nintendo of America phone number: 1-800-255-3700
I am not sure how to get a repair under warranty instead of paying for it...
Quote:
In the USA, you get a 1-year warranty when you immediately buy a 3DS. Don't go by what the website states. Set up the repair over the phone with a customer service rep and go from there.
Also, I would like to know if I keep my Ambassador status when I get my 3ds replaced?
Quote:
If you do get your 3DS replaced they transfer everything. I asked the Nintendo Representative if I got a new system would I still be an Ambassador and she said that everything, even eShop data, is transferred so I'd still be an Ambassador
How exactly do you send in it for repairs?
Quote:
Call Nintendo, tell them about you problem they give you shipping label and you print it out.
Do they charge?
Quote:
Nope, it's all free after you get all the stuff you need to ship just take it to a FedEx location and drop it off.
What do I need to ship it with?
Quote:
A box, Shipping Tape(to tape the label on the box), Bubble Wrap, Packing Peanuts (So it doesn't move)
How do you tell them what's the problem?
Quote:
After you call Nintendo about your problem they email you and tell you to include a paper in a envelope including Your name, telephone #, Repair Order Number, A brief description of your problem etc.
How can I track my order?

Also when you can track you 3DS here at:| Order Inquiry - Nintendo |
Just enter your Zip Code and Order #.
What if my 3DS needs to be replace completely? Will I lose all of my data?

3DS TECHNICAL ISSUES:
Why won't my 3DS connect to the public Wi-Fi?
Quote:
Do you have a McDonald's nearby? Many provide Wi-Fi, and I believe you don't have to go to a web page in order to connect.
Once you do get the update/browser installed, the method for connecting is not altogether obvious:
Set up an entry for the network. The connection test will fail.
Open the browser. You may have to do a google search or reload the page to get the agreement.
Accept the agreement.
Now you should be able to access the internet normally, in games, spotpass, whatever.
Did you possibly reset your router? Try reconnecting your 3DS to it, as if it's a new router and see what happens.
The bottom screen of the 3DS scratches the top screen. How do I fix this?

Screens don't touch and two perfectly installed protectors with no air bubbles or dust underneath. In short; order some rubber feet and some Hori screen protectors.

You will need
needle
duct tape
scissors
1 ) rubber bumpers are glued on 2 sided duct tape , gently take them out with the needle ( be careful don't scratch the screen )
2) cut out few layers of duct tape and stick them to bumpers as shown on the picture then put them back in place .

So after you apply them it will look like this when it is closed
Now these bumpers are made from rubber, so due to rubbers tendency to become more flexible when next to a heat source (body heat from pocket) The lid will sink down a little bit more than this photo......HOWEVER these bumpers are long enough to still prevent the screens from coming in contact
Here is what it will look like from the front view
I can't connect to the eshop, but I'm absolutely sure that there's nothing wrong with my internet connection. What's going on?

How do I delete apps that I've downloaded from the eshop?

I'm downloading a lot of games from the eshop. Will I have spots on my home screen for them all?

3DS APPS:
How do I transfer a Mii from my Wii to my 3DS?
Quote:
Try This:
1) Go to Mii Channel on Wii
2) Go to Mii Maker on 3DS
3) Click Send/Recieve from Mii Channel & Wii connect to DS
4) They should sync if not press in this order on Wii (A,B,1, press and hold 2 for three seconds)
But is there a way to send one from a 3DS to a Wii?

How do I get pass the dark room in Find Mii?

You only need one white warrior each time you play through the game, so once you light the room it stays lit until you finish streetpass and start-over on another game.
How do I use the AR Viewer in Pokedex 3D?

The apple is to make the pokemon use an attack or simply and action. Later on when you collect enough stickers for collecting AR markers and taking pics of the pokemon, you will get a music note sign that lets you hear the pokemon cry and a stop watch to make the pokemons pause their actions. You can also use other pics as templates to create pokemon battles and such. Here is a Battle Themed AR randomizer.
Have fun taking pics of your pokemon!
Anybody know when Netflix will release 3D movies?

I don't know.
SD CARDS:
Is 2GB enough memory for my 3DS? What's the largest SD card my 3DS can use?
Quote:
It can use SDHC cards up to 32 GB.
I used a 4 GB card I had for my camera then I got a 8 GB SDHC one because I found it at a great price.
Edit: 4 GB cards can be found for $10, that way you won't have to worry about copying data over if you don't have a SD/SDHC card reader on a PC at a later time if you decide you need more memory. I'd say purchase one with your 3DS so you won't have to do that later.
With a mini-SD card in the adapter, can I use it in the 3DS?
EDIT: Had to recreate the thread because it glitched on me.
