My old 3ds XL has a black screen on boot, but I can enter recovery mode. Recovery mode starts but gets stuck halfway. With or without the SD card doesn't work and the yellow light doesn't come on. Any help is appreciated.
I was doing the 2.1.0 ctr transfer and everything was successful except native firm and it got an error. Instead of restoring the nand backup, stupid me rebooted and the black screen happened.
then you will need a hardmod.

IDK, you should PM one of the USA installers. I recommend @vb_encryption_vb

I know I'm late, but when you reboot you need to take out your SD card on 2.1. Did you skip that step?
