# Place <code>3ds_hw_test.firm</code> file in <code>sd:/luma/payloads</code> on the SD card
# Turn on your 3DS while holding {{B|START}} to open Luma3DS chainloader
#* If the chainloader is not opening, follow [[3dsguide:restoring-updating-cfw.html|Restoring / Updating CFW]] and try again
#* If it still wont open follow the boot9strap instructions above
# Select <code>3ds_hw_test</code>
# Press any button to start the test
#* The test will take around 30 minutes for an old model and around 45 for a new model
#** If you are unsure what model the console is, look at the shoulder buttons - a new model has four ({{Key press|L|ZL|ZR|R}}), and an old model has two ({{Key press|L|R}}
# When the test finishes, press any button to turn the console off and insert your SD into your computer
# Open the newly generated <code>sd:/HWTEST.LOG</code> file in a text editor, then scroll to the end and look at the line that says <code>[ARM11] Done. ___ total errors detected.</code>
#* If the number on this line is 0, your console's RAM is not the issue
#* If the number on this line is not 0, your console's RAM is dying and you need to either repair or replace the motherboard
