My New 2DS Xl is broken and will not turn on. If I press the power button it will light up followed by a popping sound and it shutting off. I’ve thought of sending it to Nintendo for repair but it’s modded and I can’t turn it on to remove CFW. If I send it without it’s SD Card can they still tell it’s been modded?

That sounds like a simple problem with cfw. is there a boot.firm file on the root of the sd card? if not then put the luma3ds boot.firm file there.
the pop noise is pretty iconic of a ribbon cable being loose. Could be a easy reseat. but thats only if OP is comfy with opening the 3ds up.

I've even send a self-bricked A9LH New 3DS to Nintendo and they repaired it for free. So yea, I think you'll be fine.

Here’s the thing… the ribbon cable connector is broken clean off which means the cable can’t be clamped onto the sensor. Will Nintendo even fix that?

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
