Hacking Need Help fixing 2Ds XL, it is shows a black screen every time a SD card is inserted

I posted this in the noob thread but I feel like I should make its own thread.
I hardmodded my 3Ds using BrowserHax and everything was good for a while, then one day I tried to turn it on only for the backlight to turn on but it just shows a black screen.
If I take out the SD card, it will boot into Luma. If I try to get out of Luma, it will restart into the black screen.
I can't enter GodMode while having a SD card in, but I can enter it without the SD card. I just can't load any payload that could fix the problem because you need an SD card to do so.

I tried formatting the SD card, I tried using a different SD card. I tried redownloading the boot.firm file and seeing it if works that way, nothing.

have you tried to remove the home menu ext data, if its working without the sd card it may be the homemenu data, go to godmode9 if you can and go to gm9megascript and "scripts from pelitics guide" (sorry if i said it wrong) and choose remove ext data but again this may not work so i hope you can get a fix

edit: if you cant get onto the scripts or cant fix it your last resort is restoring from a nand or using a flashcart
