My son's 3ds began to black screen lately after trying to load original cartridge.

The OS boot normally. When I put the cartridge in the slot, the game appear normally. But when I touch the game, black screen occur after Nintendo 3DS logo.

Same thing happen with Mario Kart, Rayman, Asphalt 3d, lego city undercover and Pokemon X ... but with mario kart 7, I can see the Mario Kart 7 logo with the gear Rolling non stop.

Same thing happened with Camera app, and Pokemon Y (digital copy).

I tried to format the console, to remove the SD card, to replace the SD card with another 3ds, I opened the back lid to remove the battery 5 minutes... but blackscreen was back. I tried to swap wifi board, I've transfered all data/software from my other 3ds system... reformating for the third time... nothing changed.

Some games works normally (Stafox 3d, mario 3d land, super mario bros 2 and superhero squad works flawlessly)

Is another move I could try to repair this?

BTW, the 3ds is out of warranty.

Thanx
 
You could try to send it to Nintendo, and they could see what's wrong with it. Otherwise, you're probably better off buying a new console.
