I just modded the switch lite yesterday and all was working fine including the touchscreen. I powered it down via the power button but when I went to turn it back on, touchscreen would not work on hekate menu. I deleted nyx.bin to use volume controls and enter into atmosphere and OFW but touchscreen still does not work. Testing device input setting cannot sense the taps. I was very careful on modchip installation and reassembly so I don't think I messed anything up. I have already tried recopying all the hekate, sigpatch, atmosphere files. Another note, the modchip I purchased in November uses SX OS for some reason. Do I need to update that to the NX firmware?

There was a previous post on reddit about using autoRCM but I don't think that works with the Switch Lite.

Nothing during an uneventful mod would impact the screen. This is not a software issue. You’ve shorted, cut, splattered or loosened something. Would start at the screen connectors and work backward.

E: some detailed pics of your install will help us out immensely w/ remote troubleshooting.

Oh without a doubt. Pull up a comfy chair and your favorite magnifying glass. This is going to be the most rousing game of hunt the wumpus you’ve ever played.

Hey mate, I took off the back cover and heatspreader just to check the area but not looks damaged or disconnected. Now out of curiosity, I tested the switch without the back plates and touchscreen worked on the emmunand without issue. So I think something is getting crimped or contacting an area it shouldn't. Is it possibly the micro USB debug port?

Wow…we got lucky! Yes, you’re going to have to try closing it up and see what binds or creases or otherwise goes where it’s not supposed to.

On another note, now that I have it open, is it better to update the SX OS that is on there?I bought an HWFly from aliexpress so I don't quite know why it has SX OS on it. Is there stepped guide on how to do it? Last thing I want to do is brick this.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd
