How can I remove Luma CFW on 3DS with broken microSD reader

[xUnleqitTV]

Hey recently I played on my Nintendo New 3DS XL but while playing I got an error message and the console crashed, on the next day I looked if everything is fine with the microSD and and I saw that the 3DS instantly rejects the microSD also after inserting it multiple times.

Today i replaced the microSD reader with a new one and the microSD stays inserted but the 3DS can't read it anymore (also other microSDs that works fine on PC) and now I can't really play on it anymore now I want to remove the CFW so that I can maybe send it too Nintendo so that they can repair it.

I know there is a method with godmode9 but that requires a microSD (which I don't have) can anyone help me with that problem?

Any damage to the SD card flex connector on the motherboard? And is the replacement the same as the original SD card flex?

Apparently it is possible to flash godmode9 directly to a flashcart, so it will boot into godmode9 directly without requiring an SD card. It really doesn't come up very often and I thought it only worked with very unusual flashcarts, but someone mentioned it the other day:

You really don't have any other options if you can't get the SD card reader working.

That's how it looks, and yes it's the exact same piece

That isn't OEM.

What do you mean? And for what stands "OEM" ?

OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer, you should looks for one that looks exactly the same as the original one, if that doesn't work, it just mean your connector on your board is damaged.

Hmm it looks exactly like the one that was build in in the 3ds before that's why I bought it lol

And yes it's probably the connector, that's why I want to remove CFW completely from the console so that I can send it to Nintendo for a repair

If you look at the one you got it is missing the holes, I don't even know if the one you bought actually work or not, probably it is your motherboard if you tried your original one and this replacement one.

The new one looks exactly like the old one so I think it would work with the console, so I think it's the motherboard now that doesn't work correctly

I found this it looks like yours should I buy it?

And when that doesn't work I can be sure it'S the motherboard?
