Hardware My old 3ds shows this error msg after booting into the menu

[Oriordan]

Hi,
How do I fix my 3DS Error Problem? When I turn my 3DS on after about a minute or so it will say "An error has occurred. Hold down the POWER Button to turn off the power, then turn it on and try again. For help, visit support.nintendo.com

Do you have Luma3DS custom firmware?

Unfortunately no i think someone tried to hack it & brick it in the process

ntrboothax could fix it.

Try booting into recovery mode just in case that fixes it, most of the time for non-CFW systems, that's the way to fix such issues. Never seen that error before, but it's clearly not a brick, as brick means no turning on except for the LED turning on and off after a few seconds. This is more likely to be something like the system shutting down while updating or something, causing the installation of the firmware to be corrupted, but that's just my guess. Just use recovery mode and see if it works after (A+R+L+Up Dpad).

ntrboothax is a method for unbricking using a flashcart, you don't need that unless recovery mode doesn't fix the issue for you.

Ah, ok, i've already tried that, the thing with the magnet, didn't work.

So, i tried recovery mode, it asks for a system update, but when i try to connect to the internet & search for my wifi, it doesn't detect it or any wifi for that matter :/

Don't have the access point configured? If you have no saved connections, you are screwed... Only choice now is to use a flashcart with ntrboot to do a ctrtransfer or get a new 3DS...
