    Hacking Want to boot into OFW and use online services with sysnand while retaining my emunand setup for offline use and I have some questions.

    Okay that is what I thought but doing it all on the same sdcard is okay? Cause if it's a dumb risk I can use a second sdcard for just OFW use. Also can they not see the use of rcm? Sorry for all the questions I just want to be in the right knowledge. So If I update to v18 ofw then my current...

    Hacking Want to boot into OFW and use online services with sysnand while retaining my emunand setup for offline use and I have some questions.

    Right, I understand that and am asking if I have one or not, I have only ever used the EMUnand. By using Autorcm at all has that now made my SYSnand no longer clean?

    Hacking Want to boot into OFW and use online services with sysnand while retaining my emunand setup for offline use and I have some questions.

    Okay so some background: V1 switch using autorcm with hekate 6.0.7 booting EMUnand atmosphere 17.0.0|AMS 1.6.2|E, I do have exosphere setup for emunand. I'm tired of using some outside source to download updates/DLC (not games) for my cart games etc. but also have some stuff that is fine...

    Hardware Supposedly broken Power Button is more now? Switch just died

    I second this, does it react to your OG adapter at all? I will be bringing mine to a shop and they always swap both power ic's as they said its a nightmare to figure out which one has gone bad. Thing is if yours was fine then did what my friends did just like it did for me (was okay but then I...

    Okay so the battery came in and it read at 3.7v like normal so attached it and charging seemed to do nothing but hitting the power button yielded the pic attached. If you hold the power at that screen then it will reboot once then as you keep holding it will turn off but it will make a audible...

    Hardware Supposedly broken Power Button is more now? Switch just died

    What if it was stuck in rcm with no power button to turn it off, will rcm let it go below 2v? This is why I chose to get another battery and not try my good one out my switch.

    Hardware Supposedly broken Power Button is more now? Switch just died

    I used a thing designed for it that is metal. the plastic would just snap from the glue strength plus the angle you have to work with is horrible. I did the corner first then stuck in gutiar picks as i went and it popped out with no bend.

    Hardware Supposedly broken Power Button is more now? Switch just died

    Yea I was like my god it's a good glue but at least if it's fully dead its not so bad to hopefully warp it somewhat. I will be gentle and try without heat at first as I don't want to soften the screen adhesive if I don't have to. I have ordered a new battery off ifixit and while it may cost a...

    Hardware Supposedly broken Power Button is more now? Switch just died

    So I got the new leads, they didn't fit my cheaper multimeter so got a okay one (digital one) and they worked and I used the very thin leads to indeed determine that the battery is 0v. I'm not sure what I should be probing though to see if the board has a short anywhere. I think perhaps the...

    Thanks for the info, before anything else i'm waiting on those leads as it was odd to me as well to not even have a hint of some juice in there.

    Hardware Supposedly broken Power Button is more now? Switch just died

    Yeah I figured this too but I also just ordered some thinner leads to make sure I am actually getting contact to the battery to make sure it is indeed dead and even then I might just get a new one off like ifixit as I really don't even want to risk my own switch with even opening it up as its...

    I assume so as this should be DC and it reads a AA battery fine.

    Hardware Supposedly broken Power Button is more now? Switch just died

    I used the points I circled to test and got nothing, then tried sticking my probes in the gold contact areas above it but I don't know if my probes are thin enough to get down there but I did use some force so I would think I would have had some contact. If the battery is fully dead will the...

    Stupid question #1, are both red and black wires the same or is there a specific red and black I have to probe? Thanks. Malcolm

    Okay, so I had it on the charger for a day no change. battery did not get hot, I found my usb tester finally and with my good switch the tester turns on and says its charging at 15v .24a at full charge and sitting idle in Horizon with stock adapter. The tester when plugged into the bad switch...

    Hey Everyone I'v been super busy and finally got time to crack this open and try all the suggestions, I currently have it charging with the button ribbon off and the sdcard slot not plugged in, I will see if the battery even starts to get warm. I take it the switch has no internal light that...
