Hardware Semi-Bricked Switch

[theLilaQ]

Hi guys,

really need your help.

- Switch on 8.0.1
- got it this morning
- installed a SwitchME Rebug
- (also applied new thermal paste while at it)
- Rebug Disk showed up in Explorer
- .UF2 files wouldn't flash to SwitchME on drag'n'drop (would still show old .UF2 on next approach, check by hex-editor and filesize)
- decided to boot into HOS, and try again to apply .UF2 file
- couldn't boot into HOS anymore

so:

- removed SwitchME completely, removed wires
- won't boot at all, no Nintendo logo, no Switch logo, just black
- can still enter RCM with jig
- freshly unwrapped Sandisk 16GB, FAT32, 32k Cluster, files from sdsetup.com, Kosmos default package
---> TegraRCMSmash.exe hekate_ctcaer_4.10.1.bin shows: Kosmos screen, Sept screen, Kosmos screen, then black
---> Can't boot vanilla Hekate (show's "stack smashed", screen remains black completely)
---> Lockpick_RCM works, and is able to dump 125 keys

So I haven't seen the Nintendo and Switch logos for a while now.
I have not yet made a backup, I wanted to do that after the chip install (sigh).

Any ideas what's wrong here, and what my options are?

I don't thing I f**ked something up on the board, atleast I couldn't find anything yet. Will try to clean it with Isopropyl tomorrow though.

Any help would really be appreciated, since this unit isn't even for myself.
