Hello, I have a n3dsxl with sound but no video, I purchased it this way so I don't know how it got to this point. This is what I have done.

1. Updated to 11.4 using Nintendo's recovery menu (L, R, up, A) and it updated successfully. Screens worked on the recovery menu but when I tried to start with normal booting it just gives me sound.

2. Install b9s via hardmod. I successfully installed b9s and can run recovery mode, even luma configuration screen loads but after that I keep getting sound with black screen.

3. Run ctrnand 9.2 via recovery using decrypt9 and everything seem to installed correctly but again I keep getting sound with no video

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Sadly that sounds like a hardware issue.

Even if it loads Nintendo's default recovery mode? Both screens look perfect, touchscreen works and it evens connect to the Wi-Fi. :/

If ctrtransfer doesn't help then there's not much else you can do... It can't be a software issue because ctrtransfer completely replaces the 3DS software.

Maybe the brightness level corrupted and it's set to 0, (however, it should have been set back to normal with the ctrtransfer). Anyway, since it has sound, try changing the brightness level from the home menu using the sound as a guide.

EDIT: You can also check if that's the issue by pointing an strong light towards the screen, and you will see a shadow of the image.

Have you tried what I said?

Yes bro, no video at all, screens are completely off. Even when it runs Luma for the first time it asks you for the screen brightness and I have tried every setting with no luck. I think is more of a nand issue. Maybe if there is a way of using another n3dsxl nand in the future that might fix the issue

Luma brightness is a completely different thing as it doesn't change how the system brightness works afterwards. If you already tried to go to the home menu brightness selector without success, then it can be several other things:
1. It may be possible that you have a flashcard inserted which may prevent the home menu to launch. (Unlikely as you said you bought it that way)
2. Something in your home menu is corrupted, try renaming the "Nintendo 3DS" folder in your SD card to "Nintendo 3DS old" and see what happens.

In any of the cases, it's most likely not a problem with the NAND, as the recovery mode data is stored in the nand as well.
Actually, you haven't told us if you can hear the cursor when moving it or not in the home menu, or just the background music (first case it's a problem with the screen, second case it's a problem with the home menu crashing).

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow

    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?

    Lol

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
