Your SD card might be corrupted, check it with H2testw. If it comes back as corrupted get a new card, and just put on a freshly downloaded boot.firm on it and see if your console boots. If the card comes back as fine, try formatting it as FAT32 before putting your data back on.
 
the SD its okay i just formated it again in fat 32 and also put the files in it again, same problem no boot, just the blue led for 5 seconds or instaOFF if i try to boot whit start or select presed

As stated earlier by @Quantumcat,

Copy everything off the card onto computer, reformat the card in FAT32 + 32 KB cluster size, and run a full write + verify test with H2testw. There's suspicion to believe there's something physically wrong with your SD card. One of the ways to check is with the program. You cannot trust using that card again until it passes that test.
 
im running the test but i have 3 SD card with backups of the same data of the "corrupt card" and i have the same problems with the 3 card so i doubt the SD its the problem T_T

That Lexar one looks to be in the slider lock position of Read-only. Another thing you can try is the battery removal and reinsert trick (may or may not work). Try that battery trick and start the 3DS without an SD card.
 
Just removed the battery still no luck.. =(

Oo, not looking good. The no boot, no show with no SD card could be explained if you skipped the setup ctrnand finalizing step in GodMode9. This is correctable, but don't worry about this. You can do the ctrnand stuff later.

We first gotta figure out if you can regain access to GodMode9.

Try this and report back if the 3DS follows through. If it does not, see if you can access GodMode9 (hold Start) or Luma Configuration (hold Select) when turning on the 3DS with this test setup:

i just follow the steps and now they turn off even faster lol, looks like i have nice brick overhere fml, the thing that bother me most its that it was working fine one month ago also i have the 3ds with custom firmware since 2016 and 0 problems and sudently dont works >.<

the same the 3ds goes off

Not sure what else you can try to determine if the problem is software related. Someone else chip in for other ideas for you to try. :/

My best guess at this moment is that your O3DSXL won't turn on because its fuse(s) is blown. This is fixable if you're willing to get the tiny parts and know how to solder the new ones in. Very common as these systems get old.
 
You have 3 options, use CTRNAND transfer (wipes everything) that takes a flashcart or some other way to boot GM9, do a hardmod, or send it in to Ninty and hope for the best
