I ordered a Nintendo switch demo/kiosk unit today off of eBay and it worked fine for a solid 5-6h. Suddenly I take a look at it and it’s on a red System maintenance screen. It appeared to be updating controller firmware and as I watched it, it goes to a screen stating that it was going to rebuild the database, flashes to a screen that said ‘Server check in’. Only problem, this unit wasn’t ever connected to the Wi-Fi. It proceeded to black screen. Nothing did anything to the console and pressing the power button led to a little loading circle as if it was shutting down. Pressing it again restarted the process.
I have no idea how to get back into the demo menu or connect it to the Wi-Fi. Entering maintenance mode like would be done on a standard switch shows the software is outdated (14.00 as opposed to my standard switch’s 15.0.1) but I’m scared updating it would brick the console. However it may force a wifi connection that could save it.
Any ideas?
