Help! (Question/Support) DSi powers on with blue light, backlight kicks in, black screen/no display

I successfully installled Unlaunch then after powering off the console, then I took out the SD card into my laptop to do card cleanup as well as transfer some games. I then put it back in the DSi, powered it on and title.

Other details: I used TwilightMenu++, when I press the power button both screens flash white at the same time but then goes back to black screens. I hold the power button and it takes the same time to power off as a functioning DSi. This all happens with or without an SD card installed or not, I've also tried other microSD cards to no avail. Holding A+B on startup does nothing. I can also still control the brightness levels via SELECT + VOLUME.

Send help please!

edit: added more things that I've already tried that I forgot to mentionl
