But since I installed it fine, do I still have a risk of randomly bricking (when updating A9LH for example), or were the bricks happening randomly part of the installation process?

As part of the installation process. Once you have a9lh you will not need to do "otpless" ever again to update it, so you don't have to worry.
Some people randomly broke their consoles due to the "race timing" of the hack failing on them, sometimes due to bad SD cards, some other were unidentified. But after you've "won the race" and got a9lh, you're safe of OTPless.
I just got my 3dsxl in the post. its a blue metallic one and the Serial is QEF1003 which according to the guide says it has firmware 11.0 installed.
I've not opened the box yet, is it possible to downgrade 11.0 or should I return it?

You can downgrade via hardmod or via Dsiwarehax if you have a friend with an a9lh haxxed 3ds that transfers the game with the hacked save so you can downgrade.
Alternatively, if it's truly 11.0 look for a way to homebrew it and get legends of exidia from the eshop by spoofing your system version without updating. 11.0/11.1 may soon get a way to do dsiware downgrade with only one 3ds.

If you want to downgrade it, you could send it to @gamesquest1. He can do the soldering, downgrade it, and send it back as though nothing had happened (with the exception of then being on an exploitable firmware version).

gamesquest1 can be trusted. Many members here have sent their 3DSs to him for modification (myself included) and he also repaired my N64.Thanks for the help. sadly I don't know anyone who owns a 3ds so option 1 is out and I really don't like the idea of sending it to someone.
I guess I'll just return it
Fair enough. Your best bet would probably be to buy a second hand one. That way you can know in advance what FW version it is.
Good call! hehe, that is what I've decided to do tomorrow. I'll take this back and theres 2 shops in my town that sell 2nd hand consoles, I'll check them out.
What firmware should I be looking for. 9.2 or under?
9.2 and under would be the easiest, but as long as it's 10.7 or below you will be able to downgrade it to 9.2 and then fully exploit it.
Oh, quite far from both me and gamesquest1. Was going to suggest helping out with downgrade etc. or if you were close to gamesquest might save on postage if you wanted a hardmod, but you'll have to settle for forum help
Found a 2nd hand 3ds, its got firmware 9.4.0-21E on it.. didn't buy it because I don't know if its moddable. if I find out it is, I'll go back and buy it.

Thanks, I just went back and bought it. no stylus but I guess I can buy a replacement should I need one.
the exact version number is: 9.4.0-21E (okay its 9.4 not 9.6, I got it wrong.. but hopefully its moddable.)

I know it may be too late....check pawnshops if possible.....they will let you check them out before you buy one.....
EDIT: Yup, I was too late....well, maybe someone else that reads this tread can take my advice to try pawnshops

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

@
Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
