 The steps detailed here generally assume that your console has a modern custom firmware setup ([[3DS:boot9strap|boot9strap]] + [[3DS:Luma3DS|Luma3DS]] 8.0 or greater). If your console is running an older homebrew setup (for example, something based on [[3DS:arm9loaderhax|arm9loaderhax]] or [[3DS:menuhax|menuhax]]), you should [[3dsguide:checking-for-cfw|update your setup]] before trying these instructions.

 There is an issue with your <code>boot.firm</code> file. If you're running [[3DS:boot9strap|boot9strap1.4]], your 3DS notification LED may flash a certain color. This color is used to diagnose issues involving your <code>boot.firm</code> file on SD card or internal memory. On older versions of boot9strap, the blue light will power off almost immediately when trying to turn on the console.

 Your Luma3DS version is outdated. Download the latest release of {{GitHub|/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/releases/latest|Luma3DS}} and place <code>boot.firm</code> on the root of your SD card, replacing any existing file. Make sure you are extracting the ZIP file with any tool other than WinRAR, as it is known to cause issues with 3DS-related files.

 Your console is likely hard-bricked. You will need to buy an [[3DS:ntrboot|ntrboot]] flashcart to reinstall [[3DS:boot9strap|boot9strap]] in order to attempt to fix your console.
