I just tried 2 aftermarket (Chinese) touch panels and calibrated them in hekate, and they both work flawlessly! This is great news!

Drat. I have a SX OS switch and i'm stuck at the load screen (assuming it's touch only) and can't click anything nor with the joy cons.. I have an aftermarket LCD screen and an actual OEM touchscreen digitizer (replacement-- which may me bad since it arrived with the cable a bit mangled). Not sure of my next approach. Thoughts?

Can you setup hekate on your SD card and start it up so that you can access the touch calibration?

Does Hekate work with chipped (V1 Patched) SX OS now? I have 3 menu screens (I never actually activated the license for SX OS and the touch screen can't touch any of the menus)

Also, could a drop potentially ruin the game card reader?
(I received this as a broken V1 unpatched Switch-- LCD was clearly spider webbed and only whited out on the screen.. so I swapped just the unpatched mobo to another fully working Switch). Now trying to fix this switch.. I've replaced the digitizer 2x.. One aftermarket touch screen and only a few corners worked.. and now with an actual OEM digitizer from V2 and can't click the 3 middle menus (but stuck in SX OS land so I can't click in the middle).

I just kinda spam touch the payloads, hekate, launch until it works.

Lol. Wish I could even get past that on the sx os menu.. I just opened another thread cause using that gamecard on my other working switch, seems to have dysfunctioned that one now.... getting a 2162-0002 message and also no touch screen capability.. and the original game card for that working switch was working previous to trying it in the broken switch to see if it was truly the screen.
I tried getting into hekate on the unpatched switch I have (which screen no longer works).. and do the screen calibrate-- says fail every time.
