Recently, my 3DS after coming in from repairs isn't booting into CFW.

All the data is still on the SD Card, nothing seems to be formatted.

I checked to see if my 3DS was still CFW'd (by holding the Select button and turning it on) and it was.

Is there anything I can do?

I looked into my settings and it said it can't read the SD Card.

The root problem seems to be that my 3ds cannot read SD cards for some reason. Yet it can detect sd cards being removed.

It's now escalated into something much worse. I tried blowing into the sd card slot and now the buttons don't work and the touch screen is unrepsonsive.

I am having the same issue. Please help!
 
Ok, I know it might suck a buncha ass to do this but the way I fixed the "Unable to detect a SDcard" was by re-formatting my SD card. I am not fully versed in homebrewing but I believe that it's because you're getting the error "Unable to mount the SD card (13)" in the B9Sinstaller, I got up to that step when I first homebrewed my device and it gave me that error, I had to re-format my SD card and I homebrewed it just fine, if possible, I would try to replace existing homebrew files I.e Luma, BUT ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, You wouldn't want to accidentally brick your 3ds all together due to replacing the wrong file. The reason your device is able to load CFW still is due to CFW being able to be used without an SD card (as long as you followed the website guide). I also didn't save my game data on my SD card before formatting it, so I recommend making a back-up of your game data). Is there anyway you could elaborate on how you black-screened your 3ds after blowing into the SD card? Not sure if you still needed help due to this reply being 2 months in the future, yet if you need help I can try to help you fix it with the limited knowledge I have.
