Hacking Question Battery calabration payload/homebrew fix (Not a realease)

[timmystar04]

Hello im just wondering if someone would be able to create a payload/homebrew app to fix the battery calabration issue by forcing the switch to check the battery percentage or something like that im asking because i have the issue one my switch but i stripped the right rail screw so i cant do the usual fix

there are a number of methods to remove a stripped screw, and I believe SciresM is working on a fix

I'm gonna create a dreaded double post to ask, which screw did you strip? you only need to unscrew the middle one to open the switch.

I stripped the middle one on the right joycon rail

I doubt a payload would be able to fix this. If it was that simple someone would of made one already. You can remove a stripped screw with a rubber band or super glue, see this guide:

sciresm asked for volunteers to test a potential fix on his twitter a while ago

I have already tried a rubber band and glue so i dont think i will be able to get it out

Well cool, I hope something does come out like that.

here's his tweet

Is there anyone with the battery percentage issue due to Switch linux shit that can run a pegaswitch script (e.g., console on <= 3.0.0?). If so, shoot me a note -- I may have a potential fix, but need to test/confirm.

I had the same problem with the same screw. It was really tight and was stripping even with alot of force and using the correct bit. I was finally able to get it out after i changed to a flat head after the screw stripped pretty badly. my console is currently missing a screw in that spot.

Well there's something worked on.
But we'll see..

Payload broke it, payload should be also able to fix it. (Just what I think)

Right, just like a gunshot wound.

Exactly. Because when someone shoots you and you would remove your heart from your body, your wound would regenerate.

Exactly. Because when someone shoots you and you would remove your heart from your body, your wound would regenerate.

And of course you're perform the surgery with a shot gun, because that is what caused the problem in the first place.

payload broke it, payload can fix it.
shotgun broke it, shotgun can fix it.

Unless Nintendo put in a mechanism for resetting the battery that can be triggered from software, then unplugging the battery and then reconnecting it might be the only way to get them back in sync.

Did they do that and will someone figure out how to trigger it? That isn't something we can know yet.

Surgery. Surgery via other payload.

Yup. A surgery. A surgery via payload. Otherwise your patient dies (you know, removing heart is usually lethal).
One payload can be the gun.
Other payload can be the surgery. Noone said that the same payload can fix it...

It is fixable by software. No one created a homebrew for it, yet.

Can we all vote just to have the original battery thread pinned? The number of these threads asking already answered questions are just austonishing.

Not gonna happen...

 

[Shadow LAG]

So, what? We just get blasted daily with a new thread about the same thing all day every day?

Meanwhile giant threads documenting well known issues get buried? I don't get it.
