So I’m trying to play animal crossing but my 3ds isn’t turning on. Like I’ll turn it on and the splash screen will turn on but it’ll just go black like normal but it would stay like that instead of showing me the home menu. And it’s really frustrating, also the 3rd light isn’t on I think that’s related

if you take out the sd, does it boot to home menu?

Wait srry I’ll be back later I’m going out rn

#

Hopefully you’re still available to help when I get back

#

Should I take it out on this screen?

#

....
power off..remove the sd..power on..see if you can boot to home menu

dense root
#

I boot to this screen

rich cliff
#

press start on that screen, to save settings and continue

#

youre booting to that screens because you've never booted without sd and luma settings aren't saved..I want to see if you can boot to home menu

Wait so what is a ctr transfer?

#

Like what is it doing

rich cliff
#

reinstalling firmware

#

you could also restore nand back up, if you have one

#

And what does it have to do with my 3rd light not turning on and it not booting to home menu? Im not doubting it I just am genuinely confused

rich cliff
#

it wont boot to home menu if the firmware is corrupted

dense root
#

Does that also relate to the light? Idk

#

Like it turns on when it boots to home menu

rich cliff
#

the light means its on.. and its getting stuck booting to home menu

dense root
#

Damn

#

I guess I’ll come back to this later I don’t have my computer with me rn it’s in for repair and I get it back next week so I’ll continue with this when I get it back

#

I just thought this was something unrelated to the sd card tbh

rich cliff
#

fair enough. Yeah..if it booted without the sd..then it would have meant it was an sd issue..but as its not booting to home menu either way...its likely a firmware issue

#

Cool Ty for your help so far

#

I’ll just be back next week then lol

dense root
#

Oh wait lmao

#

I just turned it on today with the sd card

#

And it’s there
