Hey, I'm sending this message because my 3DS hasn't turned on for a few months now... It's a 3ds XL, It has a CFW, but all my mods and environment were up to date and working fine. However, I dropped it while playing in bed, and since then, it won't boot at all.

The blue power LED turns on, but the Wi-Fi LED doesn't. Sometimes, the blue LED turns on and instantly turns off, but most of the time, I just turn it on, and it stays on a black screen with no yellow LED.

On the same day, I took a picture of the Arm11 error I got when trying to boot it through GodMode. Anyway, there doesn’t seem to be a connection issue between the screen and the motherboard because the screen was displaying properly. I think it's not a brick due to modding because it broke only after I dropped the console on the floor..

I'm sending a picture of the disassembled console as well. Thanks in advance!

Does the hinge effect whether the blue led flashes or stays on? Try putting the hinge in different positions and turning the 3ds on

#

And is there ever any popping sound (even if it's inconsistent)?

I want you to bend the 3ds to different positions then turn it on. For example, then it on like this

And turn it on like this
