Hey y'all first time making a thread, I am in quite a pickle.
Yesterday i tried to hack my switch for the first time and used the switch homebrew guide.
All was well until i wanted to make a backup, when i tried to load the backup boot function in the latest hekate (5.0.1) i received a failed tot init SD card error
For clarification i am using a Samsung EVO plus 256gb SD and i am running the latest firmware on the switch, my switch is hackable
I have tried exFat/Fat32 formats, both failed.
I tried using instructions from a post i found in another thread
"Whenever hekate for 4.x crashes, it makes the SD card unusable with hetake (When the payload launches, it says "Failed to mount SD card (make sure that it is inserted)" and continues to ofw). Formatting using SDFormatter and guiformat makes the sd card work with hekate again (Thanks ReSwitched user-support), but after it crashes again, the whole process starts all over again (Including 3 hour restore of sd card backup).
My question is: Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I can't seem to find anyone else talking about it on Discord or GBATemp.
Format your SD card to fat32. I did it with the program Rufus.
Use @CTCaer payload version 1.3 Thread
With the SDfiles from this release
So CTCAER Payload and the sdcard.zip from other release and i can launch hbmenu with my Samsung Evo 64gb SDXC card. On my 4.0.1 Switch

But to no avail, also whilst being totally honest i don't know if i fully understood what is being said in the post above.
i am totally clueless as to what i can do to solve this issue, does someone have a similar problem and manage to solve this?

Update:
Fixed by reinstalling the sd card reader in the system, your milieage may vary, could be your part is just broken mine wasn't
