I have two 3ds that I haven't turned on and played in quite a while, maybe 4 years. They both have CFW.
On the meantime, since we upgraded to Nintendo switch , I... foraged the sd cards of both of them. I made a backup of the files, formated and plugged the SDs to the switches.
But I got a weird urge to play on the 3ds the other day. I turned it on, and I got greeted with a black screen for a second and then it powered off. Same thing with the other ds too.
To be specific: If I have no sd inserted, it powers off .
If I have an sd inserted, it powers off .
If I have a card adapter on the slot, but no micro SD inside it, the blue light stays on, and so does the black screen of death.
I can't manage to activate god mode or save booting either, but I'm not sure if I know what I am doing, I might have used the wrong keycombo.
I also tried putting back the files on the sd (and I'm freaking out because I can't find the back up for the second 3ds), but that didn't do it either.
And I guess there's still a chance that the battery or some other component is dead after 4 years of just sitting on a self.
I don't know. Any ideas and suggestions are super appreciated.
