Hardware 2DS won't start

[LaronX]

My 2DS won't start at all. If I press power the blue LED will turn on for a few seconds(1 or 2) and then turns off again. It changes normally. I gave it to repair and they said " the screen is broken" which I doubt and think they want to fuck with me. I did test all the Luma stuff and that works. I tried a small SD card ( normally using a 64GB and tried a 4GB one). and it didn't work. I don't know anymore what to do :/

That fact you can access the Luma menu means the system has some life in it. Based on what you told me it sounds like your firmware went bad. I would do ntrboot to see if you restore the image back.

Please note you WILL lose your games and saves if you do this.

@CallmeBerto Sorry I think I wasn't clear enough. I can't access Luma menu. I just made sure it is not a problem with having updated Luma or something. It can't get it to start into anything. If I hold start while trying to start it all it does it make the blue light go out faster. I am okay with loosing games and saves if I get it working again.

Do you hear a popping sound? If so, ribbon cable

What kind of popping sound? If I hold my ear to the speaker it makes a slight, very slight pop the speaker. i did try that already and it didn't work. I gave it to a repair shop and they said first board is broken and then screen.

Is it under warranty? If not, you can do it yourself. It is a bit tricky but with a loth of patience it can be done. Or find someone who would do it cheaply (preferably for free) because you need to establish the fault first. It can be ribbon cable, can really ve the screen itself

ou have to take it apart. Check all the cables, reinsert them and rinse and repeat
