Try if the screens turn on normally in

NAND restore is not the first thing to do.

I had an issue like this sometimes on my initial use of cfw but usually, it was the initialization process with or without an SD card that something cannot be initialized correctly such as Luma or if I have many games installed in one Card. Probably see how to reinitialize luma file???

Have you tried booting into recovery mode?

Profi200: "Never had this problem on any 3DS. May be related: There is a problem with N3DS consoles when the camera is defective(?). Such systems will not show HOME menu at all but there is sound. Recovery mode works and all homebrew FIRMs do too. Disconnecting the cameras fixes it."

daemongloom: "Got the same issue on new 2ds xl. Luma3DS v10.0.1, latest official euro firmware. Shutdown/poweron and reboot does not fix this issue. Home menu appeared after waiting for a few minutes on black screen. There also was a notification from SpotPass."

Maybe try leaving it on black screen for a few minutes before opening it up?

Thanks for the reply. i did try recovery mode 1st but all I see is black screen and got sound back for 2 secs then nothing.
For the other method, I also left the 3ds power on with black screen for 30~45mins but again, nothing happened.

nvm I found a fix. Thanks for the help GBATEMP community.
Turned out it was the camera that was faulty, disconnect the camera should work.
thank again for the fix suggestions.

here is the quote show where the cable is :

Yup 100% Correct all i could gather was the camera on that model somehow interacts with the home menu even if one is not using it??? Wheras on a 3ds or regular 3ds xl it will boot and show the home menu. But if the camera is activated it will promp error turn off the console odd lol... But who needs a camera when you got a9lh bs9 etc etc @ Ninty there i said it!!!

Should be that one and good luck...

Thank you for mentioning the resolution. Now, if I see the same error I will consider first disabling the camera.
