A Sad day for my 3Ds

This happens to a lot of people I think. In the past I had a DSLite that would black out once in a while for like 3 seconds and the screen would turn back on, but one day it never did. My 3DS is beginning to do that as well. I asked a few friends who had nintendo hand held consoles and they said it happened to them as well. I've planned ahead and already asked for a new one for Christmas.
 
This happened to me some weeks ago. I don't remember what I did, but after a few shut downs and turn ons it got working. If it is still not working r?move your game cartridge inside.

To fix it hold down power button for 10 seconds while holding up wireless button. The ds should power off. Then turn on ds normally. All fixed!
Holding the wireless switch isn't necessary. Just the power button like with most devices (unless this is specific to the New or something).

I'm left with a non-working 3DS

This is a longshot, but try holding down A+R+L+Up(D-pad) whilst trying to turn it on. If the problem is simply a firmware one, this MIGHT be able to fix it. From your description though, I doubt it will do much.
