Hi all. I hope you've all been enjoying the Easter Weekend. We've had a much needed heatwave in North West Scotland.
Anyway, I'm here to seek advice from the many experts here. I have an opportunity to purchase a faulty Nintendo Switch but would like to know if it's at all salvageable before I give him £80+ for a fancy paperweight.

Hey buddy
I was trying to get an NNID to work- the console was banned but I did not have an NNID on it so couldn’t play games such as NES online that required an NNID. There was a way to get around this by downgrading 6.2 to 6.1 using ChoiDuJour, then to copy some save data over from a console that had an NNID already in use. Plenty of people online had managed to get it working, but whenever I copied the files over, it black screened. Tried to restore my nand backup but it didn’t work. I spent a couple of days working around it but don’t really have the time or patience so gave up in the end."
"Have tried various payloads and can occasionally get it to boot to Nintendo logo but then it black screens."
That's all the information I can get from him.
Is there any way to save this? He can't be bothered to do it himself but I have to see a lovely console go to waste.
Thank you very much.
Kind Regards.
Thomas.
