I think my new 2ds Xl is bricked because when i try to power it on the LED turn blue then after that is turn black again. It did this when i try to format another SD card with godmode9 on my 2ds then it suddendly doesnt work with any SD card

PS: the black SD card is the old one and the new one is the red one

PS 2: the probleme is not with the boot.firm, the sd card, A9LH and i didnt damage the 2ds

PS 3: the log on SD card say this but i uninstalled sonic mania like a year ago, i dont know if it help

Does anything different happen if you try to turn on the unit without an SD card inserted?

What makes you so sure..?
i have tested some solution like replacing the boot.firm, formating the old SD card and there is no files called A9LH

PS: sorry for responding late i had school today
 
If you don't think it's the SD card, boot.firm, something else done to the NAND/software, or physical damage, you should try a RAM test:

Any error amount that isn't zero indicates RAM failure.
hi it still doesnt power on the 2ds so i cant start the test
 
Well, if you don't want to experiment any more with putting different files on your SD card, you'll need an ntrboot flashcart before you can do anything else.

There are a variety of flashcarts that are compatible with ntrboot. Nobody said you specifically needed an R4. The Ace 3DS X is popular.

Perhaps you could spend a moment searching for one yourself?

Hi, i just got my 2ds xl, same problem, blue light than nothing at all. I tried to exchange the r4 download files with newer one, and i thought it would help, but nothing changed at all, ain't no way i could enter safe mod nor turn it on at all, LRUpA neither select or start + power helped me.. The guy who sold it to me said he powered the n2dsxl 4 months ago and claims it turned on. I thought he may updated the console and made a mess. Any ideas of how can i reset it and turn it on? i have a flashcart, a R4 for 3ds, the one with "wifi" logo.
He also claimed that he remember it had to power on only with 2 sd cards(wtf?)
He said he didn't mod it but clearly it has a custom firmware since it has a R4....
I'm glad someone read all this below i can send 10$ instant paypal to whoever will help me because i think it's a easy to solve problem since i presume it's related only to the "sd"
