Hardware Black screen ...

[Maxxoux]

Hello,

A friend of mine give me his new3ds because he has a black screen. He tried to install A9HL but he said he failed.

So for now i tried to boot it
- with SD card in : Black screen (an error occured blabla)
- without SD card in : same
- with SD card pushing L+R+UP+A : Just a black screen NOTHING ELSE
- witouh SD card pushing L+R+UP+A : Just a black screen NOTHING ELSE
So for now i'm out of ideas. I don't know if its a hard or soft brick. Can you tell how i can fix that ?

PS : i know a little bit about hardmod, but i don't wich tuto to follow and i will do it as my last option.


Thanks ;3

Can you provide a little more information about where he "failed" installing A9HL. If there is a black screen with the blue light turning on, it means he installed A9LH. Try holding SELECT while booting, with and without the SD card inserted.

He can't say anymore about his fail .... I tried what you said and i got the same black screen ...

Check the contents of the SD card, ensure there is a arm9loaderhax.bin file on the root of the card. You can also try deleting Home Menu’s extdata through : /Nintendo 3DS/(32 Character ID)/(32 Character ID)/extdata/00000000/

Can you access to Luma3DS config menu?
Turn on this: (as like the guide says)
*Autoboot SysNAND
*Use SYSNAND FORM if booting with R
*Show NAND or user string in SysSettings
If not, try this.

2. Try resetting Luma’s config and fix options
   1. Delete /luma/config.bin from your SD card

3. Test booting Hourglass9

6. If you previously downgraded with Gateway, ensure that you are using the latest Luma3DS version (v6.2.3 or higher, at the least)
7. If your NAND is of a version between 3.0.0 and 4.5.0, do the following:

   • Copy firmware.bin and cetk to the /luma/ folder on your SD card
   • Delete both of these files after updating your 3DS
