Could someone please help me? I have a black screen on my Switch, but I can hear the sound. When I put the Switch in the docking station, the image is displayed perfectly on the TV, but without the docking station, I only have a black screen. The problem occurred when I tried to boot Hekate. It didn’t work, so I decided to reset the console. After that, the problem started.

Please share some more details :
- do you have a modchip or are you using an 'old' Switch?
- how did you 'reset' the console?
- did you have Hekate working before or did you try installing Hekate and it didn't work?

If you remove the SD card and press vol + and - both while booting, do you see anything on the display?
If not, then maybe something in the hardware broke down (could be something simple as a loose connector).

It’s an old unpatched Switch. I’ve reset the console multiple times using power off, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1min, 2 min power off, volume up and down buttons, and factory settings—nothing has worked. When I put the Switch in the docking station and take it out, the screen shows for a brief moment but then immediately disappears again.I also don’t have any backlight or anything; it's really a completely black screen. But the touchscreen and Joy-Cons are working, and I can also hear input when I press buttons or use the touchscreen.

Here's what I've already done with the Switch: Well, I injected Hekate, and everything worked great. I then created an emuMMC in the boot menu. I was in CFW and wanted to install Tinfoil, which also worked fine. Then I started wondering why I could only use CFW in airplane mode. I wanted to change the host file and ended up deleting it, planning to use a code from GitHub
I then went back into RCM mode, injected Hekate, and the black screen immediately appeared after I clicked "inject." After that, I held the power button for 13 seconds, which booted me into OFW, where the black screen issue also occurred. Later, I discovered that everything worked perfectly in the docking station.

    @Veho, In the end, portable emulation handhelds are the exact same thing.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Mostly in today's age.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Wut.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    The hardware is not much different, in my opinion. It can emulate just about anything without needing a CPU upgrade, aside from a re-design.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Retro handhelds aren't really hiding the fact they're just phones with a D-pad. It's all the same SOC, just with different applications.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Exactly. That's what I'm at least trying to point out.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the high-end SOCs are still expensive so they tend to use older stuff, leftover stock and so on.

    So KTR is asking, will you guys spring for the Snapdragon,
    or should we get some older cheaper chipset.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably thought to themselves that the latter would be the better option. Not only to make them easily affordable to produce and buy, but to retain the same performance to competitors.

    After all, SoC is the same ones used in Android phones that were made for gaming.

    Gen2 is obsolete and probably can get bulk for cheap

    In the same way that a Raspberry Pi costs 30 dollars but a project involving a RPi costs at least $100, CPUs are cheap, everything else is a bitch.
