Help me please! I tried to make a hardmod New Nintendo 3DS XL, soldered all the wires, but when turned on instead of the blue screen (it lights up for a second), the console turns off

Does it make a popping sound?
Make sure all important ribbon cables are connected properly or maybe you did the hardmod wrong and it's causing a short circuit or something

Those wires are too thick. You have poor separation between the leads at the SD card side. That motherboard is probably shorting every time you turn it on.

If you haven't hardbricked that n3DSXL yet, consider discontinuing any further attempts at hardmod, desolder or snip off the wires attached to the mobo, and switch over to ntrboot.
Check my signature for ntrboot flashcart options.

I would love to use an ntr boot cartridge, but since I live in Russia the delivery is too expensive, and my mother will kill me if it infringes that I ditched 15,000 rubles :)), but I will take note of the wires
R4iSDHC series costs 321 руб (RUB).

Edit - It says free shipping to Russia isn't available. Cheapest mailing adds another 269 (RUB) to the total.

the fact it pops and turns off would suggest either the lcd flex cable isn't plugged in properly or the bottom LCD backlight cable isn't inserted properly, the connector for the bottom LCD is often damaged by people who are inexperienced trying to lift the connector, the backlight connector shouldn't be lifted, the cable is inserted and removed by just pushing/pulling the cable into place, if you have damaged the connector you can sometimes just push it back down with a bit of extra force and hope it gains enough pressure to keep the connection

the connector that is usually damaged is circled in this picture, to see if this is the issue your having try putting a little bit of pressure on it and see if the console stays on when booting

and as everyone has already said, the hardmod connections need a bit of work, you may get away with the connections as it is, just make sure you isolate the cables using tape or something, and remove the mod once you un-brick, I wouldn't suggest keeping it in place unless you improve your soldering skills, but for a 1 off unblock it might work ok

You can take a closer look at how this connector is connected

what is this thing called and can it be bought? my friend said that she constantly consumes electricity, most likely burned out.
