Hello,
I have a New 3DS (non-XL) that randomly stopped working a few years ago. I tried many things at the time, and intermittently tried to fix it over and over again.
Currently it turns on to the blue light, screens are always black.

Here's what it can do, with and without SD card inserted:
Turns on with SELECT to Luma settings.
Turns on with START to Godmode9.

Here's what I have tried:
Leaving the console on for long periods of time, letting it discharge, recharging it, removing and reseating the battery.
Removing the R4 cartridge and keeping it aside.
Reseating ribbon cables, can't remember all the ones I reseated. I remember the one underneath the SD card place was particularly difficult.
Booting with 3 different SD cards (4, 16, 64), with my preexisting data and without. Currently using the 4, which has been approved by h2testw.

I have seemingly updated Luma? It says its the newest version when running with and without SD card. I kinda regret it now because I can't ask it for an ARM exception code.
I have tried CTRtransfer which seems to have succeeded. After that, tried to restart and it made no difference.

If you can help me escape this hell I will owe you forever!!

Try disconnecting the camera ribbon and booting without it:

    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

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    I'm not american and even that sends shivers down my spine.

    @Veho, didn't need any news. Just going to the store and buying groceries is a constant reminder.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    A reminder that all corporations reported record profits these last few years?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Reminded that every single price gouging law was blocked by republicans because "muh gubmint overreach"?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Won't somebody please think of the corporations?!?!
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The problem with X party blocked X bill that would have prevented X is that yes the bill probably would have worked great, buuuttt they put XYZDCBG in said bill as an attempt to sneak things in that tend to be completely unrelated to the original bills intent. It sucks because if they would just do a single thing they could probably get something done...

    But congressman X needs to have government funding for his cousins unicycle business
