So my 3DS flashes white, makes a quiet *bop* sound and turns off every time I turn it over 90º. It appears to be short-circuiting. This started happening when my 3DS hit the side of my sofa...

Well that wasn't a smart thing to to in the first place.
Send it to Nintendo. If you still have your warranty, it will be no extra cost to repair it.
Also the 3DS isn't made to open over 90º.

It wasn't smart to throw your 3DS. Maybe the hinge does not break like a DS lite can, but it is still fragile.
Usually if it's an issue with starting up the system, it would need repaired.

That or it's being possessed by spirits that previously inhabited your sofa. You should also contact a Nintendo-certified priest.

I didn't throw it, it very gently touched the sofa pillow when I was using the gyro-bow in OOT3D
