Arturo,

> Ok, I wasn't expecting that. The system is supposed to have a solution for which h[L] == 0 is satisfied. Maybe there is something wrong with the approximation I am using. I would like to know how is that you can implement the shooting method.

The shooting method is implemented.

tutorial/NDSolveBVP#659822336

There are some options for starting initial conditions, perhaps those are 
useful.
