You have to use arm9loaderhax.bin.bak to replace the one updated by Luma updater it's in the root of SD.

Delete arm9loaderhax.bin, which will be on the root of your sd card, and remove the .bak part of arm9loaderhax.bin.bak. Ignore the message that it can make it unusable.

More information please, what is it doing when you try to boot it?

I'm pressing the power button and that's it

LED? Tried booting without SD? Does it make a sound? Does the blackscreen got a bit white at all?

the screens turn on, powering it on without the SD causes it to turn off immediately, no sound is made, the screen is just black but slightly brighter

Try holding down SELECT button while booting your 3DS and see if Luma config pops up.

Nothing pops up

Post the exact layout of your sd card.

Could be a faulty SD? I had this happen on a 3DS. When I replaced the SD I could boot payloads again and the system booted right up.

Edit: Also check SD is formatted to FAT32 with 32kb clusters.

Also check SD is formatted to FAT32 with 32kb clusters.

I don't believe that would make a difference. For many years, and through many more SD cards, I have never had a single issue with 32kb vs 64kb clusters.

Make sure it is FAT32 though.

Having the user go with the recommended format for 3DS is not a bad idea during troubleshooting...
