Long story short, I thought my unpatched v1 switch died about 1 year ago. I ended up buying a new switch just to play pokemon (didn't CFW or anything). So a few days ago I decided to try and charge my old switch with the new official nintendo charger and saw a light in the dock so I knew it was working. I figured it was bricked, so decided to restore the NAND.
Had no idea how to but after tinkering around, I succesfully did. One thing I did that might've messed up my switch was restoring nand + updating fw to 18.0.0. I had 18 burnt fuses before and now after this I have 19 BUT switch would still not boot (aside from hekate). OFW boot would show me copmany logo and then black screen while CFW sysmmc boot will just show me a black screen. Decided to try and install a lower firmware 16.0.1 via tegraexplorer and systemrestorev3 script and CFW worked! Same for semi-stock boot (since it bypasses fuse count). Still couldn't boot to OFW, got a black screen with no nintendo logo.
Now if I follow rentry guide (or any guide) to update firmware via daybreak to anything higher than 17.0.0, I will get the same issues I had before downgrading to 16.0.1. I can always use systemrestorev3 to go back to 16.0.1 and it will work again, but I want to be able to upgrade my sysnand effectively and boot to OFW.
Any ideas?
PS: My switch is banned and has been for the past 3 or so years. Never really cared since I don't play online, it always used to work before it got bricked.
