Hey, everyone! My name is Saige Baker, and I am completely new to this website. So the reason I have joined is that a friend of mine from Discord sent me a link to this website because I needed help (still do) with my Modded Baby Pink Nintendo 3DS XL. For whatever reason, my XL decided to stop being modded one day, just as I was about to jump into a Kirby game. Kirby Triple Deluxe. I kept getting the infamous black 3DS/XL screen. I tried everything I could to fix it. I turned my console off. I left it off for a few seconds to a few minutes. Nothing. So that led me up to being here. If any of you are even STILL ALIVE, I'd really like help with my issues here!!!!


Thank you all in advance!!!!

Please try to write a more descriptive subject line when asking for assistance in the future.
Please make the topic title you are creating descriptive, clearly reflecting the topic you are addressing. Do not make generic titles such as "Question", "I need help", or in full capitals, with an obscene amount of periods, exclamation marks, question marks, etc. These topics will probably go unnoticed, whereas a topic with a descriptive title will gain more interest.
Also,
Do not apply default styles to all of your posts (colors/size etc).

And as we can all see your username to the left of your post, "This Is SanrioCrossing1999 (Saige Baker) Signing Off!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3" is redundant.

Is that what's supposed to be in your picture? Because that's very clearly not a "black screen".

Anyway, the message at the bottom ("Booted from CTRNAND") indicates that your unit isn't reading the SD card for one reason or another. SD card failure is very common and there are many threads about it.

Standard procedure is to copy everything off your SD card (Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier is recommended since there's a possibility of corruption), format the card, test the empty card with h2testw, and copy everything back again. If the test fails or if you can't format the card, then you should get a new card (and copy everything to the new card after formatting and testing it). Sometimes copying everything back again is enough to fix problems.

It IS a black screen, but it just has a bunch of foreign stuff on it.

No, a black screen is a black screen with nothing on it. A 3DS that has black screens when booting up has different problems. It is important to be descriptive.

A black screen with "a bunch of foreign stuff on it" is not a black screen. Considering you seem to have some command of the English language, I don't know why you would call this "foreign stuff" either.
