Chosen Solution
Hi, Recently I’ve been finding that my 3DS isn’t properly registering game cards, acting as though nothing is there. I find pushing the game card in slightly (not enough to eject, though) registers it until it’s taken out, but otherwise I may as well have nothing inserted. I also find that after removing a game card, occasionally it’ll still show the game’s symbol on the selection menu. I’ve never had any liquid accidents with this handheld, nor have I ever dropped it. Any way I could fix this?
Hi! I suggest that you first try to have a look at the pins in the cartridge slot, see if any are bent or damaged (use a small flashlight or something to really be able to see whats’s going on there. If you can’t spot anything try cleaning the pins using some small Q-tips and some isopropyl alcohol - gently.
