Long story short i updated my switch lite by accident to 11.0.1 and had SXOS installed. I had created a nand backup prior to do anything else and i have the backup safe.
The issue is i think i broke my switch lite in trying to get into hackte switch CFW. I was able to successfully restore from my nand backup to 10.2 which worked. Then i tried a
few guides to get astophemere CFW running and pulled out my sd card while my switch lite was on. i assumed i turned it off but i didnt. so after this issue no matter what i do
my switch lite wont turn on at all or boot into SXOS. its just showing a blank screen. i tried hard reset, tried to factory reset via volume down -+ and power button it wont turn on either.
tried to leave it connected to a charger for a few hours and still wont turn on. is there anything else i can try to get it at least booting again or did i damage it permanently by pulling the SD out
when it was on?

Hold power 30 seconds then release. Turn back on.

Okay we'll start with first thing

Is your sd card corrupted? If so - reformat it and replace the cfw files YES formatted to Fat32 and copied files

Did you restore the boot 0/1 files with your backup? Yes or no YES full nand backup and restore with both 0 &1 files

Is the modchip detectable when you plug it into your pc?
No its hardware modded into the switch lite itself if that makes sense

Update: I was able to unplug the battery from my Switch lite for about 2 hrs. Plugged it back in and plugged in the charger. Noticed it blinked blue for a few and then turned green. Does that mean anything?

    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
