What to do if my screens remain black even if godmode9, Luma3DS and safemode update still work.

What happened was i accidentaly spilled a almost empty water cup on a table where my new 3DS XL (i don't know if model is necessary) was. I didn't care and used paper to clean it, but after some seconds it turned off, so i used a blower at low intensity to try and get the water out. I even opened the 3DS just to get water out (not the best idea i know) and it worked! Until i removed the battery and both screens are dark and when turned on part of the BGM sounds but then stops. Godmode9, Luma3DS and Safe Mode update still work. What can i do to fix it?

You might've gotten water damage inside of the 3DS and damaged one of the components. Best to double-check by opening it up.

Have you tried just leaving it on the blank screens for ten minutes, as in https://3ds.hacks.guide/troubleshooting#boot-issues-on-consoles-with-custom-firmware ?

Does anything different happen if the SD card is removed?

Isn't it very unlikely that "Godmode9, Luma3DS and Safe Mode update" would still work if one of the components was damaged? I suppose weird things have been known to happen when the camera or wifi board goes bad, but something like this?

New 3DSXL are known to do exactly this when the camera doesn't work properly. Interestingly detaching the camera solves this.

Don't know for water damage. Water and corrosion are nasty and can cause strange things weeks later.

Since this wasn't the only time this happened, this was basically the final blow for my 3DS

It was ok when I opened it. But I'm stupid and touched the charging port with the screwdriver and messed everything (of course this could have blown up and burned everything )


Say everything you want, I deserve it



Update: I revived it

If it was that easy for something to "blow up and burn everything", it would not be for sale.

Well, for the benefit of future readers, why don't you say something more about what you did?
