Hacking b9s + luma3ds CFW wont boot

[3EGaming]

i have an old 3ds on 11.9.0-42E and recently i installed b9s and luma3ds (and i can boot gm9 by holding start at power on.) then the mii plaza got updated and i put it into sleep mode and when it came back on i could hear sound but the screens where black but they where also slightly lit. i tried turning it on and off again but now theres no sound just black, slightly lit screens. i can boot into luma config menu and gm9 but not home menu.
also the 3d switch made the top screen flicker a little bit like it normaly would. i tried the troubleshooting on 3ds.hacks.guide (https://3ds.hacks.guide/troubleshooting) but it didnt work. is there any way to fix it without hardmod or 3ds flashcarts?

thanks.

First, try the battery trick.
If that doesn't work, what happens when you boot Recovery Mode? Do the screens and background music work?

i just tried the battery trick and theres no change but recovery mode asks if i want to update the system and the sound does work.
should i try update?

Your 3DS exhibits symptoms of a peculiar Black Screens of Death hardware brick that panders as a software brick. Read this thread for more info about it.

• New 3DS XL Screens only display recovery mode

You can try backing up your SysNAND and repairing the firmware with CTRTransfer but be ready to look into disassembling the o3DSXL if it's that exact BSoD.

ctr transfer didnt work it just stayed at the same black screen after installing the ctrtransfer .bin file. what parts might be broken because i have some spare screens and the IR module. also i might have a wifi board but i cant remember.

Some one in the thread mentioned fixing their n3dsxl by disconnecting then connecting their n3dsxl camera ribbon cable.

I'll try it now. that could be it since the 3ds stopped working when i shut the lid it could have loosened.

Failed components will often look no different than working ones.

You'll have to take another fully working o3DSXL, swap their motherboards, and do A/B parts testing to find which ones are bad.

Try reseating the WiFi module first. This one is a common cause of boot problems if it's loosen.

If it's not that, take another o3DS and swap in the nonworking unit's motherboard into that donor system. This is to check if it's the motherboard that's broken versus the surrounding accessory parts.

Lastly, be careful not to break the donor system's parts when you do A/B testing.

If you can't identify or isolate the problematic part, the next best recourse is to outsource the repair to:
