Hi. If I follow the guide https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup, but skip the Section VI - CTRNAND Luma3DS step, and take out my microSD card, will my console still be recognized as CFW by Nintendo (when I send it to fix / replace a part in the furture)? It is because my current console (broken due to my failed attempt to replace the circle pad) was hard modded (soldering was the only option back in the days), and now I'm strugglgng should I get a EUR one cause I live in the UK, but all the CIAs I found online are USA, which means I'll have to manually download every single update as I cannot connect to the Nintendo eShop.
EUR
-manual update for USA games
-UK Nintendo will repair it if they can't find CFW?
USA
-can update USA games directly with Nintendo's server
-UK Nintendo will not repair it, as https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Support/Nintendo-Switch/Regional-Compatibility-FAQ-1506385.html stated 'No, the limited warranty is applicable only within the country/region where the console was intended to be sold.'
P.S. I was just having this question because the current Switch hacking keeps the SysNAND completely clean, which means if the hardware has any problem, I can send it to Nintendo to fix without any worries?
Thank you.
