So long story short I had my switch at 6.1. Had it running some CFW. Ended up moving it to 6.2. I had backed up my NAND before doing anything though and wanted to go back down to 6.1. I opened Hekate, restored my NAND. Now if I just try to power on my switch I have a blank screen and if I plug into my computer it doesn't connect. Not sure if it's on or what. If I boot into recovery I can connect to my computer and load Hekate, however it just stays on the bootstrap that shows the name "Hekate" and doesn't go to the menu. If anyone knows what's happening that would be great, or if I can just get back to a working switch given my backups let me know please. Thanks for any help.

So the screen being black on boot to OFW is because it's not the right firmware version, but Hekate being stuck I don't understand still. It just stays at the bootlogo.
 
OK for anyone following this I redownloaded Hekate and it booted fine. I guess something was wrong with the bootloader file for some reason.

So now it won't load the CFW, it starts Initializing: It gets down to 7 lines where it says "Parsed ini1" then freezes. I'm gonna redownload my CFW now and see if that helps.

No Chance.
Cfw is not yet Compatible whit 6.2 Firmware.

I believe I've downgraded to 6.1, does it matter or is it still not going to work? If it's not going to work is there a way to put my switch back to 6.2 so I can at least use my switch? Thanks for the help.

Yes Downgrade is Possible. But Sleep Mode is broken.
 
For anyone following: I didn't restore my NAND correctly. I only did the bootfiles and not the rawnand files, this was because I had my rawnand in parts and needed to join them. I'm doing that now.
