Does the LED fade out? Do you hear a pop? Is it charged?

turns on for 2 secs then fades. cant hear pop. yes charged fully. left over night. used and brought off somebody

If it fades out, it is already hacked and it can't find luma (at least that's what it is most of the time).
Try downloading latest luma and put the boot.firm on SD.

sd card had been reformatted also the device so nothing on sd card just need luma file on sd card? didn't say anything about it being hacked but do have a r4itt for 3ds card

Put the luma on SD and try it.

luma3ds 9.1 config scrren

1. Your device should have rebooted into the Luma3DS configuration menu
   • If you get a black screen, follow this troubleshooting guide
2. Use the (A) button and the D-Pad to turn on the following:
   • “Show NAND or user string in System Settings”
3. Press (Start) to save and reboot
   • If you get an error, just continue the next page

(personally, I have: Enable loading external Firms; Enable game patching; Shown NAND or user..., Show GBA boot...; Disable ARM11...)

you follow this: https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup
But before, put homebrew launcher on SD: https://github.com/fincs/new-hbmenu/releases/latest

can I do the frog miner / steel miner guide?

Why? You already have a hacked 3ds.
You just need to install everything from the links I gave you.

Once you follow the finalizing setup (but before put the homebrew launcher on your SD) it will be there.
Yes, you can, but there is no reason for it. You can't hack it better, you would end up with the same stuff.
