Has anyone ever had a defective 3DS XL?

Had to go through 3 XLs. The first was a Pokemon X limited edition, which had a bad thumbstick. The second was a Zelda XL, which had dust underneath the screen. The third was also a Zelda XL, which I got a shock from the touchscreen.

Finally, I got a Mario and Luigi 3DS XL that has been perfectly fine for almost a year.

Wow, that's horrible. They were bad production faults. My guess is the ribbon cable wasn't connected to ground right. And the SD port probbaly had a bent pin. if one pin is even slightly bent. It doesn't work. I've had to rip apart SD card slots, that I used everyday for work. And unbend like 2 pins. SD card readers fail really easy with this.

Yeah, it was a terrible experience. It sucks because I got a launch 3DS and had no trouble with it for 3 years, and then ran into tons of problems with my XLs
