Hardware My new 3ds xl won't boot up

[Jazz1]

To be clear, when I boot it up the blue light just turns on then off, I can still charge it though, nothing shows up on the screen and also, all of my data on the previous SD card is gone so I'm using a new one but nothing happens if I put the new SD card in. Please help, I don't know what to do.

Is boot.firm on the root?

 

[Jazz1]

The root of what ?

 

[godreborn]

the sd card. if it's not, the system won't boot up unless it's in the ctrnand.

 

[Jazz1]

No, nothing is in the sd card

put luma 10.2.1 (boot.firm) and boot.3dsx (homebrew launcher) on the root of the sd card.

You should also make sure the new SD card is formatted as FAT32.

I did it
Is there anything else ?

 

[godreborn]

it still powers off?

WAit no it did booted !!

 

[godreborn]

the sd card reader may be bad. you need to get the boot.firm on the ctrnand. I'm not sure how to get it over there if the sd card isn't working. is it formatted to fat32? try another sd card.

you should be good then.

Hi. I'm having the same problem with my New 3DS XL where the blue light turns on, makes a pop sound, then goes out. I just replaced the top screen, speaker cable, and ribbon cables for the home and shoulder buttons and it still won't work. Everything is connected properly and I checked twice to make sure there was no damage. Could what the other guy did work for me too? I never soft modded this system before, so I don't know if doing the thing with the SD card will work. Please someone let me know.

I don't know why you're bumping a two-year-old thread instead of starting your own? Too late now.

Well, you probably did it wrong. There is no better explanation.

Also this is a completely different problem than the one in the OP.

No, putting files on your SD card isn't going to do the slightest bit of good if you never soft-modded your system.
