randomly go black? like the screen all of a sudden goes black when im doing something. it comes back but sometimes its a few minutes before the game turns back to normal. i have a digital copy so like..i dont want this corrupting on me. and last time i saved it took like a really long time (a few minutes) even though i only played for like a min so i could change the time?? is my game glitching?
 
I have no idea... I'd contact Nintendo with something like that, that seems really severe. Does this only happen on AC?

I was gonna say 3DS is breaking but you said it only happens on AC so I don't know.

I remember putting a magnet on the Dsi would make the screen go black. I doubt your putting magnets on your 3DS though..
 
Mine does that for a few seconds occasionally. Are there any magnets nearby your 3DS when you do that? I remember when I was little I had snake eggs by my computer and the screen turned rainbow. I just thought my eyes were going bad, but it was the fact that highly powerful magnets are nearby.
Idk it might just be random because it randomly happens to me and I have a heart attack every time, but check for magnets nearby

magnets would really do that? but no i didnt have any magnets nearby.. hm
 
You can go online to Nintendo and there's an option to "fix" your digital copy. This could help. Not sure where to find it though.
 
Magnets can also be another DS system, Nintendo has even acknowledged it.

If you have another DS nearby, try putting it farther away.
 
Ooh it happens to me normally when playing with a lot of my 3ds friends around

So it could be other DS systems

But I will play with both of my ac towns on and LITERALLY right next to each other ((like not even an inch apart)) and I have never encountered that problem... ever. And it's been months of doing that... o.O

Also, fyi, magnets can damage a screen permanently... not just a temporary thing so never put magnets around screens. They also will drain batteries on phones, cameras, systems, etc.
So, never a good idea.

Since digital, I suggest doing the e-shop "fix" but still call nintendo because it does sound fishy.
