Default The Black Screen of Death

Anyone experienced that?

It happened to me yesteday when I turned on the Wireless Switch. So I can't use the street pass and online feature. What frustrates me the most is that all the solutions in Nintendo's support requires you to go online...

I'm in the Philippines so no repair shop for Nintendo products here. I also can't call Nintendo.

I think mine has only once crashed like that but after turning it off and on everything was fine.
Does it do that every time you try to turn on wireless?

Yes it kept on crashing after 20-30 seconds of opening the wireless switch.

If it happens always it's most likely a hardware issue. I don't think you can do anything other than repair it

Never once I experienced this issue. I guess with the updates that Nintendo frequently makes, the stability will be stronger than before. So when you do get it repaired, be sure to update frequently.

I got that screen a lot... but it was only when playing Samurai Warriors: Chronicles. I ended up having to send it in to Nintendo, and they did something that repaired it. I don't think there's any way to fix it yourself, unless you send it in to Nintendo :/

have it sent to a relative/friend in the States to have it repaired by Nintendo.
or look for shops in P3DS if there are or post it in Pinoy-N,
you might never know.

good luck
