    Homebrew Successful cfw installation then brick?

    Hmm, that's weird that it would finally work with that third battery but not other ones. It's worth a shot I suppose, but I'm not sure how easily I can get my hands on another battery without buying one.

    Homebrew Successful cfw installation then brick?

    Yeah, the more responses I get and research I try to do on my own makes it sound more like an ungodly unfortunately coincidental hardware issue instead of a brick. It seemed weird to me as well since like I said everything was successful in installing a9lh, I put it to sleep, did nothing to the...

    Homebrew Successful cfw installation then brick?

    It was charging the entire time I installed the cfw. I tried switching the battery out for one that I know for sure works too and that didn't change anything. The battery from the dead system worked in the other 3DS as well, so I don't think the battery itself is the issue.

    I don't see that option. There must be some requirement you need to meet to be able to PM. He messaged me already so it's fine. Thanks though. Edit: I see the option to start conversations now, so maybe the requirement is having 10 posts.

    Sorry to bump the thread again, but I was trying to contact this guy and I can't figure out how to start a PM. Is there some requirements you need to meet to be able to message people?

    Homebrew Successful cfw installation then brick?

    Yeah, I'm not sending it to Nintendo for sure. It's an extra old one I had access to so it's not a big loss. It's just frustrating that it happened, especially so since it seemed to be working fine after installing everything. It doesn't seem like there's much I can do on my end at this point...

    Homebrew Successful cfw installation then brick?

    Is there someone on here that I could contact about trying to repair it? And since I get no blue light at all no matter what I do, does it seem more likely that it's a horribly timed hardware issue and not a brick? That would still suck, but at least it would make me feel a little better...

    Homebrew Successful cfw installation then brick?

    So I took the battery out and tried all combinations of pressing/holding the power button with/without the battery and with/without the SD card. Still get absolutely no response of the blue light at all. Still only the orange charge light coming on for a few seconds. Does that sound like it's...

    Homebrew Successful cfw installation then brick?

    Messing with the hinge didn't seem to help. I didn't already try to take the battery out, but it's late and I'll need to look around the house for a small enough screwdriver, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow. Thanks for the replies. Even if it ends up being wishful thinking, the help is...

    Homebrew Successful cfw installation then brick?

    I just did the hack today, following plailect's guide exactly word for word, so I don't think I had anything to do with emunand? All my steps were: -Downgrade to 9.2 -Decrypt9 -2.1.0 ctrtransfer -install a9lh, hourglass9, luma, etc I then removed some of the files that were not indicated as...

    Homebrew Successful cfw installation then brick?

    I wasn't installing anything when I put it to sleep. I was done with the guide and everything was set up, it was on the home menu with nothing open, and I put it into sleep mode. No blue light at all. And I cannot access a9lh menu. I had luma and hourglass9 and neither start nor select do...

    Homebrew Successful cfw installation then brick?

    It's an old 3DS XL. And everything is on the SD. I didn't do anything, I just put it to sleep or turned it off (I think put it to sleep) and am not in the situation I'm in.

    Homebrew Successful cfw installation then brick?

    I followed plailect's guide and successfully made it to the end of installing a9lh on an old 3DS XL. Everything seemed to be working fine, however, when I went to open the 3DS (I think to awaken from sleep but it may have been fully turned off), I cannot get it to turn on at all. I tried...
