    wierd new 3ds xl blue light issue

    hard mod got as far as soldering the wires to the motherboard and creating the sd card side of it by soldering to the pins in a micro sd card adapter. I tried to power it on after this before putting it into an sd card reader and got a flash of a blue screen but it was for like half a second...

    wierd new 3ds xl blue light issue

    wierd new 3ds xl blue light issue

    yea, i have tried the button combo but no joy. ive put allsorts of different setups onto an sd card and tried booting it that way but it just flashes blue light and fades. I was hoping that it wasnt going to be hardware related with the high prices of them these days (plus most boards ive come...

    Hacking blue light flashes on then off (second hand 3ds)

    Hacking blue light flashes on then off (second hand 3ds)

    well i knew that was one of the possible issues when it powers up and then down again, but i thought it would 'pop' from the speakers if that was the case?

    Hacking blue light flashes on then off (second hand 3ds)

    so i followed the ntrboot guide on 3ds.guide and ive now got to the point where the blue light is finally staying on but when i let go of the buttons nothing happens and it just powers down again. which boot.firm should i be running? im using a magnet to get it to boot, but nothings showing up...

    Hacking blue light flashes on then off (second hand 3ds)

    finally found my old r4i 3ds flashcart only to find that despite being compatible to the point that it let me dump the flash (using my old CFW 3ds as the source) it wouldnt let me inject to it (grrrrr). so ive bought an ace3ds plus card on ebay for less than a fiver so i'll post again once its...

    Hacking blue light flashes on then off (second hand 3ds)

    still no luck with the lumas, even when pressing select. and the godmode9.bin trick also didnt result in a boot if i go down the flashcart route, which one would i need for that? i used to have an r4 card with the '3ds' logo on it that i played my ds games off, not sure what i did with it but...

    Hacking blue light flashes on then off (second hand 3ds)
