my Black New 3DS - didn’t touch this one in any way, did not open it or anything other than installing CFW. SHOULD have b9S, it’s just been stored for a few months. Charges fine, blue light comes on for a split second and shuts off. Battery isn’t swollen, no popping noises, a bit at a loss here :/

You are missing boot.firm in root of your SD.
Just download latest luma or luma 7.1
The problem can also be that your 3ds can't read you SD. If that is the case, try different SD (don't forget to format it to fat32).

I’m a dumbass- I was using the wrong SD card. I apparently have everything updated already, but grabbed the wrong SD card -.- it boots fine now. Thanks for the help everyone :)
