Hacked 3ds red light brick

[kaliminif]

About a few months ago nearly a year I got a new 3ds xl which I decided to hack and download games and the normal stuff you do with a hacked 3ds.

there would be a few issues and errors,sometimes some games would just freeze or just shut the whole console especially on a first time which I thought was weird but the game would usually work just fine afterwards so I didn't pay too much mind to it

Until one day I quite literally woke up and my 3ds wouldn't boot up,it'd just show a blue light at the bottom and a red light up and would just never turn on I,once again didnt think too much of it because it's happened before and all I really had to do was update the luma 3ds thingy and it'd be all fine and dandy but this time I tried that and it doesn't seem to work

3ds has been stuck like this for about 3 months I've looked up solutions and people with the same problems but there don't seem to be too many cases or legitimate answers neither

So as much as I'd hate to ask a question I'm sure has been asked here thousands of times I'd like to know if anyone knows literally anything that can help and if you have questions I'll be glad to answer them

But to get down to the root of the problem

When I turn the thing on it shows a blue light at the bottom and a red light at the top which indicates that boot.firm is corrupted but I have no idea how to fix that
When I turn it on without the sd card it shows a blue light at the bottom and a purple light up which indicated boot.firm is nowhere to be found

Also random occurance that never happened again was when I removed the sd card and tried to boot it up both lights started flashing red and then it never did that again I'm not sure what that means

Also I know it's not a battery problem battery is just fine Also I'll be posting pics of it below

I don't know what gave you that idea. Especially if you've been reading about other people with "similar problems".

Please see this other recent thread discussing a similar problem. Unfortunately you have limited options at this juncture.

Did you delete any files or folders from the SD card before this happened? Also, is this a New 3DS or an OG 3DS? Homebrew works differently on the different models.

The official documentation for b9s, as linked in the other thread, says:

SD FIRM missing, CTRNAND FIRM also missing: white
SD FIRM missing, CTRNAND FIRM corrupt: magenta

So no, a purple light does not "indicate boot.firm is nowhere to be found".

No I didn't mess with the files prior to it doing that. Last thing I was doing on it was playing sonic rush adventure which I had on the sd card for quite a while without any issues

Also it's a new 3ds xl as I stated at the start
