My switch has been running atmosphere for a while and all of a sudden it just stops. There’s a black screen when charging and not, I’ve tried using the dock and a different charger, I was running atmosphere with AutoRCM installed but when I was using it, after installing a backed up game of mine it asked me to update the console. I was stupid enough to update it and realised what i had done, it turned off and then came back on but nothing would load so I turned it off and tried rebooting it on tegraRCM but it would come up and crash then back to a black screen, So I decided to take out the sd card and reboot it that way I have looked everywhere for answers and tried every way I can find but nothing works, I don’t know if it’s bricked or has died. I was thinking about taking it to a repair shop but is there a place that would fix a modded switch? Nintendo would just ban me if I sent it in.
Help needed very concerned
(I’m also a beginner at this so explain in an easy way)
Cheers

It's still in autorcm. You need to update atmosphere because it looks like you updated your emunand to a newer version. Download latest atmosphere, sept and bootloader files. Also the new sigpatches then try injecting again. It's possible that your emunand probably even got corrupted. Try booting into stock from hekate. If that works and your emunand doesn't then it's corrupt.

Did you update it through the game backup or the system connected to Nintendo servers? If it's the game back up, you shouldn't get banned. If it's through Nintendo, expect a ban.

You just need to update Atmosphere and the sig patches.

yeah what the guy above said. update atmosphere and sig patches and it works fine after that.

kids had same issue with 1 of theirs coz they connected it to net and downloaded an update for a game... then it wont boot even after taking the injection from my laptop (autorcm)

i spent 2 days faffing about with it i tried rolling back to old atmosphere versions etc but didnt work... then i updated it to newest and it still didnt work... chucked over the sig patches and worked first time been great ever since... i then also updated the firmware using the correct tool for updating the switch lol (cant remember name of it sorry)

It said on the switch it wants to update and so I clicked update it went really quickly and then nothing worked so my first instinct was that I need to update atmosphere too so I turn the switch off and took the sd card out put the new files on and nothing it doesn’t even show up as in rcm mode on tetrarcm

I updated the actual system to the newest software and that’s what did it because it wouldn’t run anything not even homebrew would open so I turned it off and tried again it showed up in tegrarcm but I injected the payload and it would just come off it

yeah just put newest atmosphere onto sd card and the sig patches they are posted on here under something like "i heard you guys needed some sig patches" after that do th injection via usual method and it should work fine.

after this update to latest USABLE firmware using the NX tool
