I wanted to buy my grandma a 2DS XL, she likes playing games like Mario and Kirby. I was too late in buying before Nintendo stopped selling them. So I bought one used on E-bay, put in a 32GB Sandisk ImageMate Micro SD card, installed Luma 3DS with games too. Fast forward, it started freezing and not charging. Updated the 2DS Xl Luma to 13.0.2 and that helped. Finally got around to putting in a new battery, but in the process my cousin; the one putting in the new battery, broke the SD card. So I went out and got a new one. As I'm reinstalling the files, then the games on the new SD card, I'm getting errors left and right. Randomly the 2DS XL won't power on with or without the SD card. The blue indictor light will turn on for one second, then turn the whole system would turn right off. No sound what so ever, just the the indictor light turning on then off. Then finally "unable to mount CTRNAND" showed up. I followed this VIDEO GUIDE and ended up getting an error in GodMode9 and this 2DSXL won't do anything at all, not turning on into anything. I took a break because I was mad and it finally booted up GodMode9, which it wasn't doing after the GodMode9 error until now. I search a lot on the internet before posting, but I think it's a hardware failure, the ram or the actual nand chip is dying/dead. Just wanted to ask around what can I do?
Edit: I already formatted the SD card to 32k Cluster size and fat32
Specs
New 2DS XL on OFW 11.17.0-50U
Luma 3DS 13.0.2
GodMode9 2.1.1
Everything is up to date, because I'm OCD
Only mod I know of would be TWPATCH If that's considered a mod.
TLTR; I think my grandma's 2DSXL has hardware failure, after putting in a new SD card, new battery, and everything.

Also, a video of what happens from time to time when I let the 2DS XL run. It's been like this for like two hours now.
Update.
After reformatting the SD card AGAIN. I can follow the video guide. Installed 11.15.0, then updated to 11.17.0. Everything was working fine for an hour. Now it won’t turn on, the indicator light lights up for a second then the 2DSXL turns right off. When it does turn on I’ll get the CTRNAND error again…
