3DS Hacking Q&A General | „PS5 has no games” edition

Hi there! Recently I received a 128 GB SD Card (WISTON 128GB Micro SD SDXC Memory Card, not sure if that matters), so I thought of upgrading my 3DS XL since it had a 32 GB SD Card until then (SanDisk 32GB Ultra microSDHC UHS-I Memory Card). Anyways, I followed the steps provided in the FAQ, which was to use Godmode9 to format the 128 GB SD to FAT32, then copy over all files. The thing is, when I'm done and put in the 128 GB SD in my console after copying over the files, my 3DS XL won't turn on (all it does is flicker the ON button in blue for a second, then it turns off again, no sign of life from screen or any sound). I tried formatting the 128 GB SD different ways, with 64K cluster size, Auto cluster size, just formatting it via PC using fat32format... Nothing changes. I've also tried making a new backup of the 32 GB SD, in case something had been corrupted during the file transfer, still nothing.

I'm sorry if this is a question which you receive frequently but I haven't found many solutions for this problem. I just don't understand why my console boots normally with my 32 GB SD, but won't turn on with the 128 GB SD which I formatted as advised.

Thank you to anyone who has an explanation or an answer, I would be very grateful!
