    Hi.

    Let's see if someone can help me.

    I have a Nintendo switch that does not show me the Nintendo logo or does it show anything when turning on normally. It does not work for me to enter Hekate if I have the micro sd inserted, but if it is not placed the micro sd enters the Hekate (only in the version 5.1.4). I would like to know if someone can help me to solve this problem.

    Greetings and thanks in advance.

    might be a formatting issue of your sdcard.You can still insert your sd after booting hekate and it will be able to navigate the files in there. Can you try reading console info with Hekate to see if the emmc is initialized?
    Also read the battery information

    SD cards are pretty fragiles, actually. Even the best and most expesnive ones can just not work anymore from one day to another.
    Even with a vanilla, non-hacked console, if the SD is corrupted then it will just not boot at all.

    Take it off of your Switch and plug it into your PC. If you can't explore or format the card, then it's pretty much dead.

    Hmm the battery indicator was red? So could it just be a really low battery level? I'm guessing you've left it on the charger for a while.. Maybe the battery or a power connection is fried? Idk.

    So you can't actually get into hekate at all? Just the charging symbol pops up (sometimes)?

    To me that sounds like it thinks the battery is dead or missing. Might need a repair, but I can's say for sure.

    And have you tried different SD card?

    Let it charge on that screen with the charger symbol and after about 20min it'll keep booting

    It looks like your emmc module is not connected or dead.if you have another hackable switch,try your emmc to see if it wont read it either.If so,you will have to find a way to read the emmc content directly(soldering)

    Obviously those errors are all about the SD card not being present (or it is, but without the required bootloader folder).

    Can you boot OFW without the SD card inserted?

    I wasnt able to see the screenshots you posted. And now that I do,I cant see where it say emmc error. It should say "cant initialize emmc" for it to be a emmc error.
    Your sdcard or the files on it are probably faulty. Try loading an older version of Hekate

    Yes I think it’s more likely to be the SD card/reader than it is to be the eMMC
