Hi,

Can someone help me please? These last few days after I played switch (Atmosphere) and let it sleep like usual, whenever I want to play again the next day suddenly turns into a black screen. I have to force shutdown by holding power for 15 sec and turn it on with a jig again to load it to the atmosphere. Can someone please help me why this is happening? and How do I fix this?

Thank you so muchhhh.

According to this thread this worked:

I ended up solving the problem by doing the following:

  • I placed the hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin file in the root of my SD card and changed its name to payload.bin
  • Then, I placed the fusee.bin file, from Atmosphere, in /bootloader/payloads/
I put the card back into my switch, it loaded into hekate menu > Selected Payloads and chose fusee.bin

No more issues with the screen turning bright when I put the Switch to sleep anymore. Great Success!


*note: I modernized the instructions…see original thread for actual quote.

sorry a noob questions, should i update the hekate/atmosphere? or just let it stay on that version & update when it needed?

if all else fails upgrade. That said, I personally like to know what went wrong and always try to get back to a good state. It was working before sooooo….

try the first thing I posted and see if it helps…quick and easy to try. If that doesn’t work…upgrade.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out which one is fusee.bin file?
Is it reboot_payload.bin inside the atmosphere?

thank you

oh no... it's happening again...
i did removed hekate_ctcaer_x.x.x.bin file in the root of my SD card and changed its name to payload.bin
I can't find fusee.bin file from atmosphere. I found it already inside the bootloader.
So I did not do anything else.

did i make a mistake on this?

please help me T_T

You need to download fusee.bin from the atmosphere release page. It’s one of the assets.
