Hi all,
My switch last year appeared to brick upon disconnecting the AC adapter while it was docked. I read online this happens to some earlier models so I figured it was unusable and eventually got a new one. However upon discovering the modding scene and finding my old switch is moddable, I went back and was able to boot Hekate, Linux, and Android. Stock and CFW wouldnt boot though. I've gone through a tutorial to rebuild the nand and everything went smoothly, but rather than its typical switch logo freeze it went to a pink screen. Hekate and the rest still boots fine and I dont believe I made any mistakes in the process. Upon attempting to load Atmosphere I'm encountered with an error of reading "pkg2" and it seems Hekate either cant find or interact with pkg2. I understand this all could be explained by an internal mechanical failure related to how it bricked, but I'd like to exhaust my methods of fixing this without sending it to Nintendo and potentially wasting money.

Thank you in advance for any help,

TLDR: "Bricked" switch stuck at pink screen. Hekate can't find pkg2

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
