Hey that would be great idea to test for!My theory is the cart isn't making contact with the cartridge reader pins.
@enodeb, do you have a DS or 3DS game laying around? Tell us if your USA N3DSXL is able to launch and play a cartridge based game.
Edit - Ah crap. @Quantumcat, bad news where that theory might be shot out of the water.
I went back to check this video, HELP ME! , where @ametefesamuel was having this issue doing ntrboothax on his friend's pink O2DS. At the 3 min, 55 sec mark, the Konami Digital Entertainment is visible in HOME Menu for the pink O2DS (the one that was tried in getting CFW installed).
Pink 2DS is recognizing the cart but wouldn't get into NTRboot no matter what.
