No, it still does the same thing.Take out the SD and turn it on does it power up normally?
Take the battery out press power a couple of times put the battery back in with no SD and press power does it turn on?No, it still does the same thing.
I haven't tried that, hold on.Take the battery out press power a couple of times put the battery back in with no SD and press power does it turn on?
I thoeught so too, if that's the case where could I find someone who can hardmod it? And how much would it cost?it might be a brick, which afaik is only fixable with a hardmod, if a9lh wasn't on it
Nothing btw, I still get the same, both black sceens and power LED on.Take the battery out press power a couple of times put the battery back in with no SD and press power does it turn on?
no idea, I don't have a hardmod or a9lh and in my case i'm in canada, so nobody would really do it locally anywayI thoeught so too, if that's the case where could I find someone who can hardmod it? And how much would it cost?

it wasn't me, it was my friend's son.What did you use to downgrade? Specifically, which version of sysupdater were you using? Are you sure you used the correct downgrade pack for that 3DS?
I love how 1 hour and 56 min after this topic was made this is the first time this was suggestedtry recovery mode
This, there's a reasonable chance it will work and if it does you can unbrick the 3DS.@zerox521 Last thing to try with your battery and SD in and the 3DS off hold L+R+UP+A and press the power button and keep holding L+R+UP+A for roughly 30 seconds does a System Update menu pop up?

Gotta love that double post lineit was 21 min ago, by xenon
ONLY if its an Old 3DS and you did NOT downgrade to 2.1.0, try recovery mode this way:
If it's a New 3ds IT WILL BRICK! If you attempt a downgrade to 2.1.0 IT WILL BRICK!
- Power off your 3DS by holding down the power button.
- Hold L+R+A+Up.
- Power on the 3DS.
