It happens, if its a legit SD card and its failing that fast, might be able to get a replacement.
Either way try the exfat method first, could be as simple as the need for a reformat.
That dont work, also try a few things to see.
Make a BOOT 0/1 backup
Then make a SYSTEM backup
Then make a USER backup
See if any of those fail (the most important of them is BOOT and SYSTEM).
BOOT and SYSTEM are much smaller and faster to do.
If its BOOT and/or SYSTEM failing and you have tried another card (keep in mind those 2 are like 2GB total so if you have a smaller card just for quick testing that's fine) try getting 6.2.0 firmware from another source, there is a "bins" place out there, legend has it...
Reflash and try again, as then you have tested all other factors other than your actual partition on the unit thats in question.
I was about to do that...but noticed Hekate won't launch the Switch either.
Initializing...
Could not identify package1,
Version (= '(not sure if I should have these numbers public).
Failed to launch firmware.

So, 6.2 may have more problems than I thought...maybe I can just downgrade to 6.1 since 2.1 and 5.1 never had these problems. It has to be 6.2 in general, as opposed to it being a bad dump. It is the most recent firmware, after all. And they were all from the same source.
