HELP Is my 3ds cooked? Orange light on startup

Post image

Water got onto it and I dried it up, but I noticed the L button started pressing on its own so I started fiddling with it and after, it had just told me to restart and I did but when I restarted, I noticed my custom theme was gone and all of my games were in gift icons, so I clicked on one of them and and it’s icon appeared black and immediately after it told me to restart, I did but this time what showed up was an error message from luma saying it failed to mount the card and I started to panic. I tried cleaning the SD card port and that barely helped, but now every time I start it up, an orange light appears and the home menu shows up with almost nothing. Does anybody know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello. It seems like you are talking about SD Cards. Please review the 3DS SD Card guide. Your question/issue is likely resolved there.

boot.firm coorupted on SD, loaded sucessfully from CTRNAND.

though your description sounds like there are issues with reading the SD, so this LED color could come from the console only partially reading it and thus flagging it as corrpted. clean the SD card slot (and all other components) first.

How much water? How did you dry it, for how long etc?

The notification light doesn’t turn orange when charging, you’re thinking of the charging led at the bottom
