In case someone runs into a similar problem, I had a9lh installed since a month and a half ago or so, following Plailect's guide. I also had the payloads for D9, Emunand9 and uncart to run at boot, running just fine with arm9select.

Then I decided to change a9lh payload to the screen init backlight 0 version to get rid of the screen flicker, and in arm9select, I added _bl files so that the backlight would come back on when running D9/Emunand9/uncart and remain off when running Reinand.

However, every payload I tried running would just black screen. The backlight would come on, but the screen would remain black. Reinand ran just fine, however.

I wasn't too sure why it happened, because those very same payloads worked just fine on my previous a9lh install. Heck I even tried the regular screen-init version from this thread and everything was still black-screening, then I tried latest version of Delebile's a9lh and black screen still.

Turns out, for some reason, the builds of D9, Emunand9 and uncart I had weren't compatible with the newer a9lh payloads. I downloaded the latest ones (and the a9lh version of uncart on AuroraWright's github) and they worked perfectly fine then.

Just in case someone else runs into that, because I haven't seen it mentioned once in this thread. This is how you fix it.
 
What ever happened to holding the home button to load another payload such as to repair firm1 if need be? Though this was a feature dark samus was working on but it's partial development has trickled through all the currently available arm9lh.

What happened was my spring break for school ended, then I had school to worry about, I've had a lot of issues since then (laptop, with the code on it, died (don't worry the code is safe) among other things) anyways, once I get the code onto my new laptop I'll probably start pumping some early alphas out and go from there

Yikes! Burnt up laptops are not fun at all
Meh, it was old anyways... I got it for free, not working, had to put a hard drive and charge port in it and that was it... it was time for it to go anyways, it didn't have much time left as it was, the plastic on it was in shambles, it had terrible cooling, it froze and crashed a lot (even though I put a lot of time into trying to make that NOT happen) among other problems.... couldn't have happened at a better time, I got a really good price on a lightly used laptop and I'm really happy with it

Sweet! Will it be able to support Luma3DS or a "arm9loaderhax.bin" on the SD card as default and then as a backup, have it boot into ShadowNAND?
It will be a port of Luma3DS without payload support, and I plan to have a safemode that loads file from SD in case things go wrong.

Thanks for the update, sorry to hear about your laptop. I would have responded sooner but I seriously forgot where i posted this question and have been looking... if it makes you feel better I recently plugged my North American PC into a Europe plug and I forgot to flip the switch on the power supply... boy, did that ever sacre the shit out of me! Power supply is putty! What do you guys think the chances are that if I replace the power supply all will be good again?
