Failed to Init eMMC.

[BigOnYa]

Honestly I don't care what unit i get back unless it's really worth that much for someone to have an unpatched unit with this issue, and they wanna try to fix it.

I can't get it open any further myself, my only options left would be to try and find someone local to fix it, but I'm not sure about that.

The SD info screen that was posted, clearly shows that there is nothing wrong with the SD card or the socket. Your issue is clearly with the EMMC, so why didn't you post the emmc info?

Can you boot to OFW without using RCM/Hekate? If not, try while squeezing the Switch right over the emmc, to see if that makes a difference. If you're lucky, you just may need to get the emmc reflowed.

Edit: Also, do you have valid payloads in /bootloader/payloads?

No I don't have any payloads, and It's purely a black screen without the Hekate.

What should I post. I'll be more than happy to share any screenshots or a short video of the settings that would help diagnose anything.

Still boggles me that my "Switch died" just randomly one day after plugging it into my pc.

same screen that led to the sd info you posted, has a button for emmc info. IF there are no payload files on your card, I have no idea why you posted that shot as if it were a problem. If your console doesn't boot normally, without using rcm or a mod chip, then I also can't fathom how you don't understand that you have a hardware issue. You need to reflow your emmc. did you EVER create an emummc with this console or backup your emmc in any way?

If not, then the reflow is your 1 and only option to get your Switch working. Do yourself a favor and look at teardown videos or mod chip installation videos for a V1 Switch, so you have a clue where the emmc is. Then (as I already suggested) try putting pressure on the emmc while trying to power on, just to see if it will power on all the way.

Honestly I figured it might be a Hardware Issue, but I've NEVER done any modding or opening of the switch console until AFTER the event.

So I don't know what I know and don't know about this stuff. Which is why I'm here.

I don't have any of the tools or skills to do any of the work myself.

My only option now is hope that I can find a tech who knows what they're doing to repair it or be holding a brick of a console effectively. Though it sounds like from the comments that my "unpatched" console could be worth something to someone. So I don't know what all my options are. Since I don't want to spend tooo much trying to fix something that I can replace for less.

If someone here were interested in the console in its current state, I'm would be willing to sell it and ship it.

I have tried to do things with the emmc, but from what I can tell Something was already very clearly wrong with it before I started. So I don't know if I still have any options on that front. (Don't know what I don't know about this stuff)
