I got a switch I bought in December of 17 worked perfect besides some sd card corruptage a few times and today it decided to randomly turn off while I was watching YouTube then when I turned it back on I was met with a purple screen is it hard bricked or can I fix it
 
Purple screen is kernel panic with the boot loader either can’t read it or it’s corrupted. If you hold power for 20s and then turn it on again is it instant purple? If so it will have to be sent it to Nintendo.
 
Here are the relevant panic code colors, but yeah it sounds like something's pretty messed up with your system if you're getting purple.

I've seen folks mention (depending on what your purple code means) on Reswitched it can possibly be fixed, might want to hop in there and ask in user-support.
