 #** If your console doesn't boot to the Luma3DS configuration menu, you likely do not have Luma installed, and should [[3dsguide:index|install CFW before continuing]] as all but one of the fixes on this page require it
 #*** To make sure of this, hold {{Key press|SELECT|START|X|POWER}} for seven seconds while the console is powered off, then power off again, hold {{B|HOME}}, and then press {{B|POWER}} - if the notification LED [[3DS:boot9strap#LED_Status_Codes|lit up a color]] or the [[3DS:fastboot3DS|fastboot3DS]] menu appears, then you have working CFW but something is interfering with Luma.
