So, I have come to the conclusion that the eMMC board on my Switch may be dead or non-functioning, since no apps or tools can 'see' the internal memory. I have tried pretty much everything I could, except trying to restore the NAND Backup I have from an earlier version (6.2), because I believe it will just give me some sort of message showing that eMMC can't be used or so (am I wrong?).
I see that I could buy a replacement eMMC piece from ebay and aliexpress for a somewhat cheap price (~20), and I was thinking:
- can I replace the memory and install a new firmware to it? Maybe even my backup?
- Should I try to rebuild my NAND in the current state it is now, even if everything seems to point to a hardware fault?
- are there any diagnostics that can show me if the problem is indeed hardware?
Thanks in advance for your time.
