| | '''If you do not have a flashcart compatible with ntrboot, choose a different option.''' |
| | <span> |
| | # Ensure you already have a flashcart with ntrboot flashed. If you haven't flashed your flashcart with ntrboot yet, refer to [https://3ds.hacks.guide/ntrboot this page.] |
| | # Power off the console and insert your SD card into your computer. |
| | # Copy <code>3ds_hw_test.firm</code> to the root of your SD card. |
| | # Rename <code>boot.firm</code> to <code>luma.firm</code>. |
| | # Rename <code>3ds_hw_test.firm</code> to <code>boot.firm</code>. |
| | # Reinsert the SD card into your console. |
| | # Insert the flashcart flashed with ntrboot into your console. |
| | # Put the magnet into position to trigger the lid sensor. Refer to [https://i.imgur.com/5e3lKe2.png this image for reference.] |
| | #* Note, 2DS users will not need a magnet, as their device cannot physically fold. Instead, move the sleep switch to the right. |
| | # Press and hold {{Key press|START|SELECT|X}}, then briefly press and hold the power button for 2 to 3 seconds. |
| | # Your console should now be booted into 3ds_hw_test. If it did not boot and instead booted into the HOME menu, power off and try again. This can take a few attempts to get the magnet positioning correct. |
| | # 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. |
