If you already tried the:

1) battery trick​

and

2) Copy everything off the SD card, reformat it in [ FAT32 | 32 KB cluster size | MBR disk | Primary Partition ] with MiniTool Partition Wizard, full Write + Verify tested it empty with H2testw (scanned for hardware defects), and attempt booting the o3DS with SafeB9SInstaller renamed as boot.firm and Luma3DS v7.0.5 (arm9loaderhax.bin, in case you have older CFW),

you may need to disassemble o3DS and check if the WiFi module has popped off. Be careful as there are flex cables (especially shoulder buttons) that can be easily ripped when removing the shell.


Other than that, try looking for signs of activity through Recovery Mode, Luma3DS chainloader (START), and Luma3DS v9.1 configuration (SELECT) when turning it on.

The battery trick was mentioned back in post #33. This simple procedure is meant to clear stuck memory / resetting the RAM. If you already reseated the WiFi module, you would have disconnected or removed the battery during disassembly, thus having done the trick.

If the o3DS doesn't boot to HOME Menu, Recovery Mode, and Luma3DS chainloader/configuration even though you reseated the WiFi module, maybe it's your SD card slot reader not properly communicating with the SD card. Also, sometimes black screen hangups can be caused by extdata [1][2][3] or inserted gamecart/flashcart.

My computer's setup has Malwarebytes, Avast, and Bitdefender for antivirus/malware protection, Firefox browser using multiple adblock add-ons, and Windows Updates kept up-to-date. No slow downs experienced on my end.

Edit - You may want to scan your computer with other software.

You are more than capable of editing posts and adding more information to them. Also from just what ive read about the other thread. It was since you had multiple threads of the exact same thing opened.

Under Message tools drop down. There is a option from in there to edit post. You make what changes you would like and save. You dont need to add a reason as to why each time.

Your 3DS behaves like as if it isn't hacked with custom firmware anymore.
  1. Download SafeB9SInstaller v0.0.7
  2. Rename SafeB9SInstaller.firmboot.firm
  3. Place this renamed file at sdmc:/boot.firm
  4. Insert the SD card in the 3DS and see if this launches.

sdmc?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

nvm and on the root?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

An acronym for "Secure Digital memory card". On computer, you might see this as D:\boot.firm or whichever drive letter it's mounted to, and in GodMode9, [0:] SDCARD ()/boot.firm

AKA, put the file on root.
did no same as always

Woah, this is new. Previous releases of MiniTool Partition Wizard (free edition) didn't pull shit like this before. Sorry bud, thanks for the warning.

View attachment 174247

I installed the Lavasoft Adaware Web Companion and am too finding this difficult to remove. Dafuq did it do making Bing the default search engine.

A program called Revo Uninstaller Pro has no issue uninstalling this, but it's a paid program. I don't see any mention of this bloatware at:
  • Start Menu → Control Panel → Programs and Features

1) battery trick​

and

2) Copy everything off the SD card, reformat it in [ FAT32 | 32 KB cluster size | MBR disk | Primary Partition ] with MiniTool Partition Wizard, full Write + Verify tested it empty with H2testw (scanned for hardware defects), and attempt booting the o3DS with SafeB9SInstaller renamed as boot.firm and Luma3DS v7.0.5 (arm9loaderhax.bin, in case you have older CFW),

Possible causes of blank screen boot

1) Your SD card slot reader is either fickle or broken. It's not getting good pins-to-contacts connection between it and the SD card.
  • Disassembling and replacing SD card slot reader might be required.

2) The SD card is not formatted in [ FAT32 | 32 KB cluster size | MDR disk | Primary partition ]. 3DS cannot read or understand the card.
  • It is assumed you're 100% positive the card is correctly formatted with Windows File Explorer, H2testw, and/or MiniTool Partition Wizard.
  • To check if card is recognizable, try using it on a different 3DS or 2DS system.

3) The boot9strap that resides on the 3DS NAND partitions, FIRM0 and FIRM1, have bricked. (Or, custom firmware was uninstalled).
  • To fix this, the 3DS would have to be rehacked through the ntrboot method using a compatible DS flashcart.
ntrboot options:
4) Incomplete boot due to other miscellaneous hardware failure.
  • Common causes: disconnected components like WiFi module, ripped or torn flex cables, faulty camera, etc.

It's not so much the time bomb does anything bad that warrants caution bricking your 3DS or flashcart. There's an expiration date where the cart stop workings when a certain date is reach on your 3DS calendar. You can either rewind the date or use YSMenu kernel.

That aliexpress listing asks for permission to enable DRM, and I do notice my Avast Antivirus blocking JS: Decode-CCZ [Trj] and Firefox deactivating Adobe Flash on the R4iSDHC series manufacturer's website.

Maybe I should add warnings about these links, but in this day and age, more people should be using ad blockers.
