Hello,
I just bought another (original) 3DS for my daughter. It's a non-modded model, still on firmware 9.5 so should be possible to use soundhax.
So I bought a couple of SD cards to hack it. But when I insert the cards, nothing at all happens.
Yes, they are FAT32, and yes, another 3DS reads them
I can see nothing evidentlly wrong with the slot - no bent pins, no corrosion etc. The console appears to have been treated very well, it has just very few tiny scratches, but the SD slot problem is a show-stopper of course.
I don't know if it can be related (same flat cable? Same controller chip?) but I believe the microphone is dead too. At least when I tried to record a sound, it only recorded the standard "ambient noise", no actual signal or sounds at all.
So: what next? Should I open the console? Is the SD slot replaceable, and is the spare part easy to find? Or is it better to find a new motherboard, or just another console?
