Well, this is unfair...

So my 3DS has been acting weird lately; it sometimes shuts itself off completely when I press start.

I was so excited when getting the Wii U console from a fortune cookie, and of course it had to happen now ;A; I just wanted to save the game *facedesk* Also when I tried buying the cookies again, I got different prizes :'(

Would you like me to get you one? I won't be on the DS for a bit if you don't mind waiting a couple of hours?

 

[Moontoon]

Aww that would be very nice of you ;A;

Aww that would be very nice of you ;A;

Sure thing I'll VM you!

aaaah that's awful! i'm sorry you had to go through that. i'm glad linktotheworld here is helpin' you out, though.

do you know if it's a software or hardware issue? like if the start button is glitching out, or if there's something in the actual 3DS that's messing with the power button? either way, if it's been happening for a while, i'd at least try a google search to see if any information comes up. that really sucks!

I'm not sure what the problem is, actually. I might open it up to see if the battery is fine. Also e-mailed Nintendo. I just hope I won't have to send it to them ^^;

Yeah, I really hope you can fix that. I know how annoying it is when your DS just decides to shut itself off without any warning. That used to happen a lot to me too (it still does, but not as much). My console probably does that for a different reason than yours, though. In my case it's because of the battery, it helps to remove it and then put it back in. But yeah, it doesn't sound like that would help you. I hope either Nintendo or you can fix it soon! Good luck, that sounds really annoying!
