So my 3ds has somehow managed to hardbrick itself sitting on it's charger. I don't use it that often anymore and it's basically been there untouched for probably close to six months. This is basically a virgin original launch 3ds. I never really did any kind of hardcore homebrew with it. Except for when stuff first started coming out and you had to use that one shooter game that I don't even remember the name of to access the homebrew menu(talking like 2015 here). Then I lost interest and never really did anything with it after that. So when I opened my system yesterday to black screens and no activity whatsoever, homebrew being the cause didn't even enter my mind. I've now tried everything; turning it off and on, trying to enter recovery mode, pulling the battery, taking the sd and game cards out, opening the system up and reseating the wifi card. Not a single thing has changed. So I've been looking through thread after thread and the only thing left that looks like it might do anything is a hardmod. But even with that I'm still totally unclear if a hardmod will be able to do anything. From what I can see either the NAND or bootloader somehow got corrupted and the only way to access those without any kind of previous modding is a hardmod. But I'm still not completely clear though if corruption like this can even be recovered from with no previous hacks installed. Is their anything I'm missing or not understanding here? 99% of the bricks I'm seeing on here are caused by homebrew mishaps.
If reputable guys who do unbricking services are still around I'd totally be interested. Or if there are any actually clear and concise guides or tutorials out there about this problem I'm all ears.

Most of the above is no longer relevant to the problem, see my other post in thread. Latest one's on page two.
