Hey SP,
I recently got a 3DS XL (this past Black Friday sale) and it has been fine and dandy till today. I left it in Sleep mode in a game's title screen, which I have done for the last week or so, and went about my usual day.
I come back home today, lift the cover up, and get greeted with a black screen. The backlight is on, the blue power LED is solid, and the Wireless signal is also solid; there's just no display. I thought I might have overcharged it, so I left it on for a couple minutes then turned it off, left it that way for another couple, then turned it back on. It boots back up to the Home screen, works for a minute.......and then promptly comes up with, "System Error, please restart system." I restart again, same thing again.
I've been Googling and fiddling around for the past two hours and it seems there's something wrong with the Wireless. I turn it off, the 3DS doesn't run into any problems, but as soon as I turn it on, the System Error message comes up again. My Google searching says it might be an issue with the WiFi card being offset and that I need to reseat it. I dropped it once a couple weeks ago, but no issues came out of that. I just thought it'd be strange for an issue to come up now.
Anybody have any experience with this issue? I plan to call Nintendo support first and get their input before I try to reseat the WiFi card. Help please?
