3DS randomly resets date/time?
- Thread starter Freezie
- Start date
This happened to me before, so it could be the same issue, or something completely different.
Basically, for me, the battery was loose/faulty. Tapping on the back of the console in certain areas when it was turned on would turn the console off (because the battery was loose and would unplug itself), and the next time I turned it on the console would be at the 1/1/11, 00:00 date/time. So if you want to find out if this is the issue, basically turn your 3DS on, and then tap the back on the console in random spots, and then like tap the corners and sides on your desk or something, if it turns off, then that's your issue.
To fix it, unscrewing the back and pulling the battery out and putting it back in again helps, but it's only a temporary fix. If you want it properly fixed you need to send it to Nintendo.

attention gamers,
My New Leaf game did this once (don't know about the 3Ds) but it reset to 1/1/12 instead.
