Hacking 3DS won't boot up anymore while trying to finalize setup for cfw

[Dashu_Daze]

I've ran into a problem while trying to put cfw on my 3DS, it refuses to turn on anymore.
I used the guide on 3ds.hacks.guide, I'm pretty sure I followed every step correctly.
Everything was fine up until the part in the guide where I needed to put a few cia and other files on my sd card, after I put them on it, I put it back in and tried to turn on my 3DS, but all I'm seeing is a blue light for one second, I've already tried to start it up without the SD card in it, but it still won't start up.
Is there any way this problem can be solved?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure you still have boot.firm from Luma3ds in the root of your sd

I just checked my sd card and the file is still there.

Try redownloading Luma and copying the boot.firm to SD again. If that doesn't help take a screenshot of your sd contents and post here.

Are you also installing Luma for the first time and following 3ds.hacks.guide?
