Did pretendo do anything to it?

gleaming haven
#

idk im going to look on the wabet sorry for the wast of time

#

slow forge
#

Are you sure it’s just taking time to boot rather than an actual problem

#

Because the base 3ds is one of the slowest models

#

Also booting can take up to a minute depending on your SD card storage

#

#

i well wait a bit and let you know it anything happeds

You can mod it yourself, takes 20 mins and is quite easy

#

But your choice ig

slow forge
gleaming haven
#

well for me i know i can do it but i dont want to risk broking one of my 3ds

slow forge
#

If you don’t skip any steps in modding it’s literally impossible to brick your console

gleaming haven
#

gleaming haven
#

Or is this stock currently?

Oh dear. Preowned consoles. My favorite to troubleshoot.

#

Thankfully, the NH server has a premade guide for this

As I assume it means you can get to the Luma config screen by holding select

strong minnow
#

Whether it is with or without the SD card

gleaming haven
strong minnow
#

This is without SD Card?

#

Can't see the yellow text, but making a guess based on prior images in this threads

gleaming haven
#

No is with the sd do i need to do it with out

strong minnow
#

Oh!

#

You have a working SD Card now

gleaming haven
#

Relly then why is it doing the black scren when i boot it up

strong minnow
#

Cool. Are you able to boot to that black screen right now?

#

Going to try and rule out the first potential cause.

gleaming haven
#

Ya

strong minnow
#

Okay. Are you able to press L+DPADDown+Select at the same time now

MY BELOVED

gleaming haven
#

?

strong minnow
#

Go ahead and remove any cartridge in your console (just to be safe).

#

And then exit the Rosalina menu.

#

And now you get to leave your console sit for around half an hour!

#

(With the screen open)

gleaming haven
#

Oh ok

#

Do i need to have it pling in?

strong minnow
#

If it's on low battery, then yes.

gleaming haven
#

Is not is blue rn

strong minnow
#

Then plug it in

gleaming haven
#

Is blue rn so is saying it fully chrg is it not?

strong minnow
#

Just go ahead and leave it plugged it. It shouldn't affect anything during this process.

gleaming haven
#

Ok

#

I well updaet you thin

gleaming haven
#

ok wait a hafe an hore and stll the same idk if i shold but im glign to live it on all day

gleaming haven

#

@gleaming haven If this hasn't fixed it, I'm going to have to redirect you to discord.gg/nintendohomebrew for additional troubleshooting.

slow forge
#
