My switch has been successfully modded for a few weeks now, just now when i shutdown and tried to reboot to payload, it goes straight to blinking yellow slowly, what does it mean?

After a day of panicking, i finally got an sd apadater and the problem wasnt the SD card, ill have to wait a few days to open up the switch and check.

Did you update your system by mistake today? The latest system update has been having the rounds.

im not sure how to do that, the screen is black
Pushing power doesn't do anything?? can you use any bootloaders by chance?? I would try to see if you can hook it up to your PC and use a boot loader and see if you can get a sign of life that way.

If i push the power it shuts off but then continues if i turn it back on, i dont think i can use bootloaders without the switch being on, thanks for trying to help btw.

I've been looking at getting a hwfly chip for my oled, I just happened to have the LED diagnostics diagram open in another tab.

It says that slowly blinking yellow means it's training glitches, and it could take up to 15 minutes.

I know the frustrations ;)
I don't know if you can use the bootloaders too but I would still give it a try. You might get a pleasant surprise.

There's another option for yellow blinking, a bit faster this time, that says
"50 glitches performed, modchip trained, next boots are fast"

Try taking out the SD card and run a check disk on it. Maybe delete the Atmosphere folder and re-paste it back in. In either order. I'm sure it is probably due to the Switch update to 16.0.0. If nothing else works I'm betting it was the update somehow got through and updated your system.

You use the bootloader while it's "off" (RCM mode if triggered)

Alright ill try that, if it had somehow updated that means ill have to update atmosphere the same way right? Tysm.

If it is the system updated itself your gonna have to wait a few days (hopefully) for the new Atmosphere to drop. When it does delete the Atmosphere folder on your SD Card and replace it with the new one. No prob helping btw. These guys here saved me a few weeks ago when I have to simply update my sig patches. I was getting half my games to load and the other half throwing errors at me. Once I did that it was easy street. Love my V1 switch!!

I had a similar problem on my oled. After some time, the connection on SP1 & SP2 become loose because of the heat of the SoC. But could also be the Dat0 or the A point.
