Reseat your SD card adapter.

Reseat your SD card adapter.

how can i do that?

Did you ever open it up and mess around with the unit before?, it looks either the SD adapter reader either is loose or it has stop working assuming you have the exfat driver instead.

Looks like faulty adapter reader as you can't initialize the SD card.

If your firmware is higher than the fuse count firmware then you will burn your fuse, you won't be able to do much if the SD card adapter is dead until your replace it.

i can gaurantee i have not used choujdonix to update my machine i got it on official firmware 7.x

That is fine, I was explaining how the fuse count work.

 

[garryb]

ok so down to the main question how do i get my switch working again without atmosphere

 

[garryb]

I just need to find a way to boot into official firmware as right now i dont even care for cfw

Won't be much use if the SD card slot doesn't work, you can always try to boot without autorcm and without pushing any payload.

 

[garryb]

Cant boot wothout rcm as the machine only shows black screen

 

[micky johnston]

Switch complely off then when you send payload if you can with a faulty sd card hold vol - then the options to change autorcm should appear. Now I don't know if this comes from the as card or the payload that's sent but assuming your getting an atmosphere error you possibly can enter the payload settings

i had this issue in first post , and solved by reinserting the sd card after cleaning the card reader ( never unscrewed the switch )

If you dont care about burning fuses (you wont be able to downgrade in the future officially) then follow these steps:

1. Push hekate payload
2. Enable autoRCM (even if it's already enabled)
3. Boot to RCM and push hekate again
4. Disable autoRCM
5. Boot normally
6. ???
7. Profit

I know this is old, but I am having the same issue. How did you clean the micro sd card slot? I'd rather try before opening my switch to change the reader...

cleaned by blowing air in and i solved this just for days , but the problem come back.
the problem was the lego conector for me :

Oh, ok. Thanks for the info. I have tried air blowing now and it seems to be working fine. I'll cross my fingers, as I see that changing the card reader is quite easy, but I can't do that kind of soldering you did.
