    Hacking Luma3ds and the Black Screen of Death

    Did all that in the 3ds.guide. Light on and fades out immediately. That's it. Included is a screenshot of both the files9 folder and the a9lh folder.

    Hacking Luma3ds and the Black Screen of Death

    Did all that. Still blue light on and off, lower screen flashes. Copied all of this code as you said to the boot_config.ini. Screenshot of what is on the sd card for reference. Also attached a screenshot of the lumaupdater.txt log that was on the SD card when I got the N3ds. Also included is a...

    Okay. Opened the .ini file, and trying to figure out which line needs changed to ensure screen init is enabled. Also, does the decrypt9WIP go in the payloads folder?

    Just copy over the .bin and rename it to arm9loaderhax.bin? Tried this and the blue light comes on, shuts off, lower screen flashes.

    Light comes on, stays on. I visually inspected all ribbon cables internally and checked to ensure they were properly seated. Does this sound to anyone like a hardware problem with the screens? Maybe it's booting up, but I can't see anything because the screens or cables have gone bad?

    Nothing happens. Blue light comes on and goes off.

    Hacking Luma3ds and the Black Screen of Death

    Interesting thing I noticed today: when I remove everything from the sd card and only put arm9loaderhax.bin on the card and I try to boot it, the blue light comes on and tuns off...but when I put the sd card back into the computer there is now a "luma" folder on the sd card that wasn't there before.

    They advertised it as broken, so there was no dishonesty there. The sales description said was that the blue light came on but the unit wouldn't boot. I will try formatting with only the payload later today after work. auto Thanks, I will look into finding one. auto With the luma3ds .bin...

    You don't 'install' payloads; they're run from the SD card. Download the appropriate .zip, extract the .bin file, rename it to arm9loaderhax.bin, put it on the root of your SD card and boot your 3DS. Don't follow the above posts telling you to put them in your payloads folder: if you're having...

    Thank you! auto Yeah. Get nothing. Either blue light comes on and then shuts off, blue light comes on and shuts off with lower screen flashing, or the blue light stays on with nothing on screens no matter what payload I try (up, start, down, etc). I've tried hourglass, decrypt9, and...

    Which one is the payloads folder? There isn't a folder named "payloads"...is it the "files9" folder?

    Thanks for the suggestions! I have tried booting without a cartridge already and tried deleting the file you suggested without success. How, exactly, do you install other payloads like GodMode9 or Decrypt9? Is it as simple as copying over files from the build's zip file?

    Haven't heard from the seller yet, but hope to soon. I had no luck with either the start button or the up on the direction pad.

    Yup, it's a hard lesson to learn, but I think I will be avoiding eBay purchases of broken items in the future. Oh well. At least I didn't pay much for it.
