When the 3DS does not find the NAND chip, the following error is displayed:

The 3DS' Boot procedure:

3 Seconds - all essential hardware is active - checks all connected devices and will boot the slot 1 device if it is an auto-boot card(like kiosk demos etc). The home menu has not initialized at this point as auto-booted games by-pass certain Home Menu security measures, like parental control and forced updates. Also auto-booted games are not logged as being run from the Home Menu. Begins to initialize Home Menu if an auto-boot slot1 device is not found.
