I have a XL 3ds. I was playing pokemon Omega Ruby when my problem started.
;A; I was soft resetting for a female torchic and when I was all done and saved the touchpad stopped working. I admit while I soft resetting I scratched at the edges of screen to clean off some grit that was bugging me to pass the time kinda... but I didn't think it would cause the touchscreen to stop working I wasn't cleaning at it that much. something to note is that for some reason L+R+start was soft resetting my DS and I didn't need to push select? (idk if this is something new to the newer versions of pokemon haha)
I'm hoping a recalibration will fix it... but I can't navigate the DS main menu for some reason as well! I can't really do anything with a game in it but start up the game... and when I have nothing in it Instead of moving around when I use the analog stick or D pad it just makes the icons at the top spin around faster =_=;
correction: It doesn't work at all haha It was just coincidence that they spun faster lawls.
any help would be awesome.
Edit: This is getting friggin weird.
I can't use the Dpad, analog stick, and touchpad in the main nintendo menu only the buttons work.
In my pokemon game I can move around normally with the D-pad and analog stick and buttons all work fine (except the touch pad)
BUT, went to see my party pokemon suddenly no buttons except home button work.
;; this is looking like it's not issue anymore....
