I think it's part of the condition I'm on disability for. Did so much that I eventually crashed. About to watch on patrol with my mother after she finishes watching church, don't want to mess up my sleep schedule further. Very tired.
Are you taking any medication that could help you with sleep etc.?

Hey guys
Tried everything but nothing works
Its the same black screen everytime its try to boot
Even doing the crtransfer (godmode9 finished the process 100% without errors)

Could it be some hardware problem?

If both screens work when you did the ctrtransfer, then it's unlikely that it's a hardware issue. Could be the system is stuck in sleep mode.. Not sure if the magnet trick works for your system or not worth a try i guess?
Also, you sure you don't have "disablle Arm11 exception handlers" checked in Luma3DS Menu config?

Yep, I see it; you're in safeb9sinstaller.
You got in there with a NTRboot cart, right? What does the contents of the cart's SD card look like? (Maybe you could try replacing the FIRM on it with something other than safeb9sinstaller or somethin'..)

Yes, i flashed my r4 sdhc dual core (2016) using my another working 3ds, everything went well.
For the bricked 3ds, i put the safeb9 on the root of sd card and a folder named boot9strap (with the fw inside)
Booted with a magnet on the right side of the console, holding start,select,x + power

Already tried the same with luma on root of sd, its enter on luma menu (only show nand was marked), but after press start its the same again (both screen are on, but nothing happens)

Hm.
What happens when you boot without the SD card?
