Hacking Question Stuck at switch boot screen, what hardware component could be causing it?

[ScarletDreamz]

So. i received a Nintendo Switch from a guy, he told me that the switch get stuck at the Switch Boot Logo, I've tried soft modding it, and it does boot the payloads, but if the payload its a custom firmware when trying to reach horizon, the same issue appears.

Booting L4T and Lakka works. however, it seems that there's an issue with the WIFI card also, since ubuntu and lakka wont recognize a device plugged in for connection.

Tried to "rebuild" the nand, and also patching it with a lower firmware, and same issue, [except that it starts a kernel panic, due to fuse mismatch], however, sending a payload still works.

Cleaned the nand from save files, and followed multiple guides here on temp, including rajkosto among other, also performed same guides on my switch and everything worked fine on mine, but his switch still stuck at the switch boot logo.

I've read that there is a component that might cause this issue? which is "BQ24193".

Is there something else I can try with this? O:

tried booting nand with hekate?

Already did, tried with Hekate, Atmosphere and ReiNX.

did ya look on the logs atmosphere creates at boot-time?

did ya look on the logs atmosphere creates at boot-time?

havent check that, however, will it log past hit boot? because the switch get stuck after launching the firmware, before reaching horizon, and not before.

i think atmosphere does log everything, so try looking for it.

Did you ever figure this out? Im running into the same thing, except i havent tried to hack the switch yet. Mine might be patched its S/N is in the middle of when they did and didnt patch them. Just trying to get this thing fixed cause all the switches are currently sold out around me and people who are selling want like $600 for one.

I worked on the device for over 2 week, and never managed to make ot boot HOS, neither on CFW or OFW.

You can try Lakka or Switchroot, theres no ban warning on it, so you can try it
