Hi, I recently updated to switch firmware 17 after not using my modded switch for a while. I didn't expect much, but it didn't turn on after the update automatically. I then tried to power it on, and it just displayed the first Nintendo logo (not the Nintendo Switch), and the screen went black. I am pretty sure it didn't turn completely off because to see the logo again (turn it on), I have to hold the power button to force shut it down. I tried updating the atmosphere, but I can't enter RCM no matter what I do. While holding Power and + with the RCM jig, I see the logo, which goes black every time. Nintendo Switch's built-in recovery does not work either; I see the first Nintendo logo and a black screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

RCM should always work.. at least it being recognized by your PC or phone.
- If it is being recognized by your PC and does not run after you push the payload, you should update the payload.
- Once Atmosphere, Fusee, and Hekate are updated and you still cannot boot the issue is likely either a custom sysmodule has not been updated (such as MissionControl) or your loader.kip if you do custom clock speeds.

I mainly use TegraRcmGUI with drivers installed, and it doesn't even detect a switch, let alone RCM. I have an RCM jig in the side, even when I hold power, and (+) it still shows the first Nintendo logo and does not go into rcm. I updated atmosphere in the SD, but I don't think that's the issue as it wont even go into RCM.

Check that JIG is shorting pins 1 and 10 on the right rail. If you see the nintendo logo you are doing something wrong. In RCM, the screen remains black, even without the sd card.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
