hi all, i have an old 3ds which i downgraded to 9.2 i did the auto ctrnand transfer, but when it try to back up the sysnand it telling me there is not enough space on the sd card giving me two option continue or press B to go back (stupid of me press A continue)which came out fine system got down to 2.1 so here is the part that fuk it up. i install the a9lh by pressing Select button. and it was successful, but when i try to turn it back on just the blue light on black screen appear, i need to hold the power button for 15 seconds to force it to shut off. thank you

 

follow the steps, but no luck still black screen with blue light

 

I use one of the Spanish guide on YouTube I hacked at least 5 3ds this is the only one that got me in black screen (no back lit light) just black screen pitch black. Any other solution I could try? Hard mod would bring it to life even without the nand back up?by the way I'm not the only one with this problem.

 

Yt guide (not THAT one, )

 

Download hourglass9, rename it start_h9 and put it under /luma/payloads and try booting with start pressed

Also try deleting the Nintendo 3ds folder

2.1 sometimes can take longer than normal to boot

 

You might as well be holding one of these:


Only thing you can do now is buy a motherboard replacement. Check aliexpress, they have some cheap ones.

Next time, follow a trustworthy guide such as 3ds.guide and make a NAND backup.

 

Heavier, but cheaper! The brick in your hand is quite expensive

good luck

 

Where do you get this si bin? I'm planing send it out to change the motherboard $30 bucks on ebay

 

Its the same file just rename it.
I'd do it with luma3ds's - name it arm9loaderhax_si.bin put it on root and see if that solves it.

 

I saw someone said, if the console could boot into any payload (Luma3DS/Decrpyt9/Hourglass9,ETC).
May be the cause is the nand is messing (by CTRtransfer or whatever).
A NAND backup is needed to fix this issue. Not sure this is true or not.
