Homebrew [Help] 3DS won't boot, Black Screen on Start Up

[miriya]

The problem started a few days ago when all of a sudden I got a black screen on my 3DS upon booting. Blue light is on, not flashing and all I get are two black screens. I thought my 3DS was bricked so I decided to leave the console on my table uninterupted for about 2 days. Then I tried booting it and for some reason, it started working again. I was able to use it for a day but after shutting it down, my 3DS won't boot again.

I'm not sure whether it's a case of soft/hard brick as I can access the luma3ds menu by holding select button before start up. I tried switching SD cards, reformat and copy and replacing my arm9loaderhax.bin with the latest file to no avail. So I guess the issue is not related to the SD card. Maybe a corrupt file somewhere on my card is causing the problems as I've read on some thread a while ago...

I'm currently running luma3ds 6.6 and haven't updated anything since installing cfw around march of this year. I have a backup of my nand files from way back when I was installing the cfw if that would help.

Can anyone help?

Side Note: I remember the last thing I did before the problems started occuring was saving my game when my battery was really low (blinking red light). I was able to save my game and shut down my 3DS without the console loosing its charge though Im not sure if that's related to my issue...

It's probably Black screening because you're on such an old Luma, try updating the file to 7.0.5

Tried this, didn't work. There wasn't an exact enable exception handlers option but I did try the ErrDisp option. I tried booting it after trying several configurations but didn't get a svcBreak error on launch...

You're on a very old version of luma, that doesn't have that option.

Try updating to b9s and see if it helps
