Hi, I have this v1 unpatched Switch here that does not boot, it just stays on black screen. The owner said that he powered off the console during an update. I don't know if this is true, I can't verify it.

If I enter RCM mode I can send Hekate payload.
If I try to boot Stock from Hekate, it gives me error 2162-0002 screen.
If I try to boot Atmosphere on SysCFW (I don't have a big enough SD card right now to create emuNAND), it gives me error 2162-0002 (0x4a2) 0100000000000025.
The console is charging fine, it draws 15V, 0.47A (the battery charging icon does not show up on the screen when I connect the charger to the powered off console).

I installed Android for a test, and it works fine.

Any ideas what can I try next? Or is it bricked?
 
IIRC this error is because the prodinfo is blanked. Later firmware versions crash when connection to Nintendo servers with a blank prodinfo. Try to disconnect from wifi then it shouldn't crash. If it doesn't you can fix it by.blocking Nintendo servers with DNSmitm

The console was not modded previously. And I had already set up blocking the servers with DNSmitm when I copied Atmosphere+Hekate to the card.

Anyway, I managed to fix it by selecting Stock from Hekate and booting it with the Vol + and vol - buttons held down, so that I entered maintenance mode, and from there I used the Update Software option to update the console to the latest version.
