3DS Replacement: Problem solved

Wohoo!:D After bringing my 3DS a second time to my local Gamestop they managed to replace my system with a new one. As many of you already know, the top screen of my first 3DS was damaged. For numerous ocassions after turning the system on the screen became abnormally dark and look weird. So i brought the system back to the store only to find out it was working alright at that moment. Even after explaining all to the manager he told me: right now it looks ok and since you still have 30 days warranty, continue using to all you can and if it happens again bring it back.

As usual the Gamestop manager almost always try the system and try to cover the problems, reject replacements or tell the customers to send the system to Nintendo but i decided to do something else. I decide to start turning on and off the system reapeatly to replicate the problem to bring it back to the store on. That way they will replace the 3DS without problem. I wasn't going to stay with a 3DS that randomly stops showint the top screen image the wrong way.

Ding, ding, ding, after many tries the 3DS sudden ly instead of starting a game or application (don't remember well) both screen turned completely black and froze;:shock: it was the perfect moment to bring it back so that's what i did. LOL now they clerk or manager wont have excuses, i entered the store with the system and shown the frozen black screens to the clerk.:P He without saying a think went to the back ob the store and brought me a brand new 3DS.:D While giving me the receipt he told me: now we send the returned 3DS back to Nintendo. Seriously i don't get it why they make replacement of a purchased so difficult since in the end they won't lose a dime.

Now this new 3DS is working perfectly, the top screen looks better, brighter and more colorful.:D Now i can play completely fine and exchange the system friend code with people. So if you have a 3DS and want my friend code just told me or p.m me. This sure is a fun portable.
