Nintendo 3DS XL SD Card Problem..

nukem

so a while ago i picked up a sandisk 32gb micro sd with adapter for my 3ds, i didnt really have any save files or DLC so i just took the original 2gb one out that came with it and threw the 32gb in, since then i havnt even had time to test it out until now, and unfortunately i lost the original 2gb one..

 

After i turned on the 3ds now, i get this error "Cannot display the software on the SD Card. The SD Card could not be accessed."

 

Its been formatted to FAT32

The Lock switch is UNLOCKED

 

i even tried locking unlocking / and re formatting a few times..

 

finally i took the 64GB Sandisk Ultra outta my DSLR copied all my fotos off it, formatted that card to FAT32 and i still get the same error. really frustrated lol, anyone had this issue?

Have you try using that micro SD Card on your phone? If it's still fails to format on your phone. It might be a bad one. Contact your retailers and ask for replacement.

yeh turns out the 32g card is bad, 64gb was incompatible.. found a random 2gb card and it worked.
