So I have these lines on my switch and does anyone know why this happened? Like is this a faulty screen, or could it be just the tempered glass causing it?

Hmm then the famous Lakka burn in issues don't apply to you :/ I would assume you were unlucky and if you have warranty you may be able to get a replacement (which may also fix the current exploits though...)

Looks fake imo.
Why are two lines going into the border around the screen?

Assuming its real, it could be the screen breaking from the inside. Did you ever drop the system, or deal a fairly large amount of force to it?
Considering the lines going into the border, it could be the glass.
just to note, I dont know much about screens

Man I wish it was fake, but I haven’t dropped it ever and I’m always taking care of it. I’m highkey triggered

Guess I have to take your word for it. I doubt anyone is stupid enough to fake it anyway.
Was it in the dock at the time you found these? Maybe your dock is bent and applying pressure to the screen.

Seeing as the top and bottom lines pretty much line up I'm willing to bet it's your dock bending the console and affecting the screen. Everyone that leaves it in the dock will get the bend (go look for yourself) but it usually isn't to the degree that it distorts the screen. Perhaps it's the combination of bending and screen protector?

Must be, I’ll look for a 3rd party dock now

If you want a nice little portable TV adapter that actually works you might want to check the MoKo adapter out... it works just like the dock. I bring it on the road with me. It's also only about $30, 1/3 of the cost of an official dock. Don't confuse this one with the other 3rd party docks that fried some Switches, that was another one.

check your console bend on a straight surface to see if its bend or not and if its a lot or little...

It even looks a bit like a very slight burn-in, we can't really get much from the picture.

In case this is still relevant to anyone, I have found the solution. The problem with it was that I had a case on the switch and it was only in the dock at all times. After like two days with no case, the screen is back to normal!!

  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    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
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
