This doesn't sound like any hardware problem I've heard of, so let's assume it's software. Try this:

  1. Take out the SD and game cards.
  2. Put the SD back in
  3. Leave the console open and powered on for 10-15 mins. Don't touch it while you wait.
  4. If it boots by then, your 2ds is fixed and good to go

If that doesn't work, you can also try safe mode (boot holding L + R + A + D-Pad Up (not the circle pad)), and update from there.
