Hey! I have a 3DS that doesn’t boot into the HOME menu.
It is stuck on a black screen with the power light on, green ‘3D’ symbol, and the WIFI light with a dim backlight on.
Sometimes, however, it does boot after waiting 5 minutes or so. The Home menu seems fine and everything works as intended. The Home menu also isn’t slow or anything. It’s just having problems loading into the Home menu when I press power. Trying to load recovery mode with L+R+A+Up doesn’t work either. Pressing L+R+Down+B to clear the Home menu data brings up the menu as intended, so the bottom screen seems to be working fine.
This is definitely a hardware related issue in my opinion as it does this with or without an SD card in. My question is, what could be causing this?
