3DS not coming back from sleep mode

In the past few weeks I have had some issue with the 3DS coming back from sleep mode. What usually happens is I will be playing and when I am done I will close the system to leave it in sleep in case of updates, news, streetpass, whatever. Sometimes I sit in cradle and if battery isnt low I don't. Anyway, when I pick it up later to play it doesn't start up upon opening. I then have to press the power button multiple times and close and open the system and after a few minutes it comes back and is fine. Has anyone else experienced this issue? I am hoping I do not have to send the system in but if it becomes any more of an issue I may contact Nintendo.

Yes, I do have the wi-fi on when I close it just in case of update info, streetpass, etc. However, I do notice that when this happens the yellow wi-fi light stays solid the whole time. It is almost like the whole system locks up and after playing around with it it comes back and is fine.

Im pretty sure I have the most recent update, I will check when I get home tonight, however I update whenever I get the message that there is a new one.

I really hope it is firmware also, which is why I started this topic to see if its been happening with the most recent update. Also, I am unsure about the transfer details.

I was about to make a topic about this as well. I have been experiencing the same thing. I haven't updated my 3DS in awhile but I beleive it has the latest firmware. I never noticed it before this firmware so I think that's probably the issue. I hope so atleast.
