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.

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.

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.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
