The problem just started a few minutes ago,
I'm a artist and use my 3ds as a drawing device, it helps pay bills and its something I enjoy. I was drawing with the program colors 3d and suddenly noticed the pointer on the left side of the screen, when I wasnt even putting my stylus on the screen. It went away and I continued drawing. But it kept doing this and it eventually started to scribble on the screen if I tapped the screen on the right side. I at first thought it was colors 3d itself so I pressed the home button, but I can't even select anything because its still putting pressure on the left side of the screen! I cannot scroll, select, or press the power off button (I have to hold the power button instead). I try to scroll and it brings me back to the left side, it randomly selected things and moves them around etcetc. I've tried powering it off and back on repeatedly, and I'm beginning to get very anxious and upset because I have some art due by Christmas and I cannot drop $100+ on a new one. The last thing I remember doing to the left screen was scraping a bit of dirt out the corner with my stylus, and it malfunctioned ever since. Did I do something wrong? Can I fix this? Or is it just a "throw it away" situation? :c
It is a 3ds xl I got from the pawn shop, I've had it a year, and it has a skin. It's never done this before and I'm really hoping it's not the end of the road for the little guy :L
