Don't suppose the flash on your SD card has bitten the dust? Try making any file on it on your PC, remove the SD, place it back in your PC and see if it's still there.

Download the latest luma3ds release and extract the Luma folder and the arm9loadhax.bin file to the root overwriting.
Somehow you lost your arm9loaderhax.bin.
Also tell me what happens if you boot without an SD card inserted

What filesystems do they have? Check they're formatted to FAT32.

I don't think its that because everything was working fine yesterday.

If you tried multiple SD cards, and they all work fine on the computer then it could possibly be the sd card slot in the 3ds is damaged. It would be fairly unlikely, but it would explain why there would be an issue across multiple working SD cards. But I would search other routes before getting to that conclusion, especially when it was working yesterday.

Maybe your main SD broke and the others aren't FAT32.

If you don't even know what this means then download GUIFormat at http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/guiformat.htm and format all your cards (pick 32k or 65k for faster speeds) with it then copy the files back on.

Seems like most likely either your SD card slot isn't making proper contact with the card, or the SD reader circuitry is damaged.
Are you using a MicroSD with an adapter? If so try a different adapter as they tend to not have a lot of longevity.

Try buying a brand new SD card, a 4 or 8GB one shouldn't cost you more than $5. Better than taking the console apart and accidentally breaking it, if it turned out the adapter was bad.

its not bad I tried different adapters and none of them worked.

Do they all have an Arm9LoaderHax.bin on the root of the SD card?

Well I guess you better get that screwdriver ready
