So its been awhile since I used my 3ds. Noticed that I couldn't startup luma3ds chainloader and in my attempt to fix it my 3ds no longer turns on, with only the light quick going on then off.
Hoping I didn't brick it but fear it could be the case.
step by step what I did
- Opened Luma3ds, saw it needed to be updated (Ver.7.1) and tried to update. Didn't work. It just stayed at 7.1.
- Followed https://3ds.guide/updating-b9s and thats when I noticed chainloader wouldn't start
- Searched the chainloader problem here. Nothing I read fixed the issue but saw a post mentioning reinstalling the cia for luma to get around it. which I did.
- opened Luma, saw it still said 7.1 so I tried to update again, and it was this time that my 3ds wouldn't turn on and only gave the on an off light.
Is there anything I can do or do I just have to get a new 3ds?
