This system can boot into safe mode and onto the sleep mode screen. I’ve updated it. If I try to boot to the home menu it freezes and if I move the screen it shuts off.
#Anyone know if this system is saveable or worth investing in repairing?

No, not from what I know of
It belonged to a friend’s sibling so it’s in rough condition
So when you turn it on is the screen black?
And when you hold the power button you get the shutdown menu, and pressing the home menu button from there is how you get this screen?
Hold select when turning it on. If the same thing happened as turning it on normally, it's not hacked
If you see a black menu with white text it is
Tried that, no god mode or luma
Very familiar with the modding scene lol
Oh good
^
Yea I hit home from the sleep mode screen
That’s how I got there
Yeah that's f000000b corruption, you'll have to do ntrboot
You might wanna fix the hinge issue first by reseating the top screen ribbon cables
Also inspect the ribbon cables for any damage
I can’t get to the home menu, that’s the only thing
It gets stuck on that screen that says home menu
I was thinking of doing a re-shell but I don’t wanna invest $40 if it could possibly not work
Buy a flashcart that's preflashed with ntrboot
Or flash it using a different console if you have one
I can flash it using another ds?
I happen to have 3 other modded 3DS systems lol
How does one do that?
A complete guide to 3DS custom firmware
Needs a flash card still
I’m still gonna do some more scoping around before I spend any money cuz this is purely for my collection as I do have 3 other functioning systems.
I appreciate your assistance though.
Just with this economy I don’t wanna invest unless I know I’m gonna have a working 3DS at the end of it lol
I am fairly certain it's a software issue since you're getting the shutdown menu, however I do recommend reseating the top screen ribbon cables before anything else just in case that changes anything
