That actually sounds weird. It's supposed to work normally after formatting your 3DS. Did you try to take off the battery then put it again? I'm not sure if this would fix it, but just give it a try.

@Gamerfan yes I did it twice.

So basically your system just gives you the black screen of death on boot? I've heard this is slightly common.

You may have to bring it in for repairs, if you are able to. The 3DS isn't like a computer where you can just pop in a CD and restore its software. If you can't access the software at all, you might not be able to fix it on your own.

I don't think there is an instant solution for this. If anyone knows one, that would be surprising.
