Will replacing the motherboard undo a botched CFW installation?

I tried installing Luma3DS like 4 years ago and didn't do it right. System only gives me a blue power LED of hope but no output. Display, audio, the WiFi LED, nothing.

Does anybody know if replacing the motherboard on this system will fix my issue? If not, then what could?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

It would, but that should be a last resort, since you're basically replacing the console at that point. You're most likely missing lumas boot.firm. I'm not sure what luma version you need (any chance you kept it on your computer?), but if it was 4 years ago I'd try 10.0.1. Just copy boot.firm and boot.3dsx from the zip to the root of your sd and try booting again

That was the first thing I tried way back when it initially happened. I never managed to get any response, but I'll give it another shot.

If I still don't get a response, then somebody's going to see an extra $60 in their pockets lol

@josiasibarra have you already tried to boot into godmode9 or lumas config menu?
