Bought a bricked Nintendo Switch

Hello,

I bought a Nintendo Switch from a charity shop, it was listed as broken/faulty for only around £20 with the joycons, dock and charger. So I decided to grab it, it's an unpatched Switch. Doesn't appear to be opened, there's slight teeth marking on the controllers. I'm guessing a child owned it before their parents donated it. Is there anything I could do to repair this?

I've opened it, it isn't water damaged, no corrosion, M92T36 seems completely fine from what I can tell, I may be wrong. Maybe give me some advice to check if i'm right of wrong. I checked for continuity around the nearby caps

Is there anything I could do?

 

Ah yes, sorry forgot to mention. Blue Screen

 

I just used gptrestore.bin and it boots to a text in horizontal style and it says in text what I appear to be important, FAIL!

But blue screen is gone

But when I turn it back on, there's a blue screen though. But when I inject that via TegraRCM, it displays white text and seems functioning

Hi,

Yeah I moved past that bit now. I'm trying to get my boot 0/1. I got my device keys now. Thanks for reply though

 

I'm following this, i'm trying to do part 2:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-get-switch-keys-for-hactool-xci-decrypting.506978/

but i can't inject hekate it's just a black screen is what i meant. i was able to do part 1 and saw the smiley face, etc

 

I tried lockpick, but nothing came on my SD card. Then I read the git and it said something about not working i believe after 7.00+ I assumed the switch was higher fw

will try it again

 

I've got this on my SD card, but nothing is showing in Switch.

 

Im going to reseat my sd reader and see if that's the issue

 

Ah alright, I've just seen what lockpick rcm looks like on the switch and I don't get that showing at all, all I've got is a black screen when i inject it, the same thing happens when i inject hekate. However, injecting biskeydump.bin brings up the UI with the barcode and the smiley face with a UI

If this is too much of a headace to fix for you guys, let me know as like i mentioned before it didn't cost much and I'm just trying to see if i can get this up and running again, but i dont want to waste everyone's time here

 

only problem is hekate launches a black screen for me, same with lockpickrcm.bin
