3ds wont turn on

[calm smelt]

hello! so for context my 3ds was modded by someone else a long time ago, and they told me i shouldnt update it when the update window popped up but i mistakenly did and after that the console gets stuck on a black window with the blue light turned on.

i dont know what method the guy used to unlock it and i have a suspicion it might be the sd card because it gets kinda warm and my computer wont read it. when i take out the sd card the blue light turns on but it turns off immediately. i also tried all the methods on here https://wiki.hacks.guide/wiki/3DS:Black_screen_unbrick but theyre not working and i cant access the sd cards files either please help : (

i was also thinking about hacking a different sd card to get it to work but since i cant turn on the device i also dont know what system version it is.....

1. Get a different SD
2. Format it to FAT32, if the card is 64GB or larger
3. Put the files for Luma3DS on the root of the SD, then put it in the 3DS
