1 Can I unbrick my 3DS XL?
Two years ago, I tried to install something on my 3DS because I got a game from a friend that wasn’t compatible with my console. I found this guide https://3ds.hacks.guide/ and while following it, my 3DS stopped working. When I try turning it on, the screen stays black, but the blue light flashes once for like a second . I made some researches and it turned out that I apparently bricked my console? I was only 16 when I did this and was just so desperate to play Tomodachi life I had got from my friend, I didn’t really know what I was doing. I’m not really an expert at modding and such things, but I would really be happy if I could get my console to work again.
I dindn’t make a back up and I used the SD card that was in the 3DS when I got it which might also not have been the best move? Is there any hope left for my nintendo?

I got a similar problem when the screen was bent too far backwards, and cannot get the system open because the screws are stripped. The console turns on for about three seconds, then shuts down. Activating a calibration function makes it stay on for about a half-second more. The system only stopped working after the lid was closed.

I wiped the sd card years ago thinking I could never get it back. What do I do?

Yea just buy boot.firm from the luma file and place it onto the main page of the sd card.
