N3DS - Help w/ Black Screen, blue light, w/ sound.

[timnj609]

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I had an N3DS XL fail a while back, and I put it away for a while. I installed CFW on it originally following whatever was the current method on the 3ds,hacks.guide at the time. I can't remember the method used or what version I am on.

It was working fine for a while, can't remember if I did a NAND backup or anything.

Symptoms:
Regular power up = black screen, blue light, has sound
GodMode9 - Can't startup in Godmode
Luma - Can't start up Luma
Recovery Mode - Recovery mode fully functional, has display and sound. After I select update, it updates, turns off, and symptoms remain the same.

I've tried a few of the solutions I saw for similar issues (updating boot.firm, etc) to no avail. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

When you say that there "is sound", do you mean that you hear the music from the home menu, but the screen is still black?

Disconnect the camera ribbon cable.

Luma3DS settings and GodMode9 not showing is strange. Under the given circumstances both should show up (if B9S is installed).

Does anything different happen if you turn on the unit with no SD card inserted?
