Hacking A9LH is not booting

[FRITZINATOR]

Someone please help if you got a second...

So I booted my N3dsxl this morning worked fine, went flying and shut it off.
After this evening the 3ds will start with my PIN password. I type it in and get into my splash screen that boots after payloads. Then I repeatedly get a black screen. Anyone ever have this issue?
Anyway I can get past this?

Restore a NAND backup (after backing up your current one, in case it turns out this didn't fix the problem).

Also if what Quantumcat said doesn't work, try to boot your 3DS without any cartridge inside and make sure nothing else is stuck inside the slot.

Any guide I can follow to do that?
Just want to be safe backing up the NAND.

Use Hourglass9 as a Luma payload.

So backup the one that's not booting now?

Got it. So backup first and then restore the back up?

Backup your current one and put it aside (just in case).

Restore an *older* backup from before the problem started.

Worked thank you! Any reason why it does that?

I'm glad that helped! Did you have a Flashcard in the slot? Some have a improper PCB-height and are prone to short the contacts, or like in my last case a leaf got stuck inside

Yes, I got an R4I gold card in there for all my DS roms. First time thats happen to me though. Thanks again!

Ah yeah that explains it then, I'm glad everything is resolved Try to shove a bit of paper under the PCB, that should help with the cartridge-contacts.
