Hacking Stock & CFW - Unable to boot past logos

[Sevrei]

Hi all, today I launched a game on my switch in handheld whilst using emmumc as normal. When turning volume down the game froze completely and some pixels also looked odd in the frozen image. I powered off the switch after holding power for awhile (home button etc weren't responding so completely frozen).

Since then I have been stuck with a black screen whilst the device gradually grew warmer. I've tried to power off and boot into stock doing a hard reset. Once the Nintendo image appears I'm giving the black screen again.

I'm able to inject payloads fine and my SD card isn't corrupted when checking on windows. When I eventually get the device to power off and be recognised by NXLoader, I boot into Atmosphere and once the logos are done again I'm at a black screen.

Not sure what to do at this point. Is this device now bricked completely?

Edit: Last time I updated Hekate/fusee/atmosphere was in March so have updated these just now but made no difference in getting past black screens on stock or cfw. Would my NAND backup from 2020 fix these issues or is this now a bricked device?

Thanks

It's not bricked as in 'an expensive paper weight' imho.
A good repair shop can always fix it but there are some things you can try first.

Hekate should be able to do some simple diagnostics of the internal memory and some other metrics like the battery and the internal temperatures.
If you can boot up Hekate, then the first part of the internal NAND memory should be fine.
I'm not sure but yI recall you can make a emummc from a NAND backup.
If really nothing is wrong with the SD card and the Switch, then it should boot that new emummc.
Restoring the NAND usually doesn't solve anything and sometimes makes things even worse.

Otherwise something in the hardware might have broken.

I think the worrying thing is that stock also has this issue. If I take my SD card out and try to boot I can't get past the startup logo.

If it is hardware only then I may need to sell the device as parts as I'm not sure what to do next. One hard crash since the day I got it in 2018 and now its unable to get past startup logos but SD card is fine and can access payloads.

Hey i got the same problem here, i have a v2 modded chip , I can make a backup but every Time o try to boot stock it just doesn't pass the switch logo , i can perfectly open hekate

try a new memory card with just the basics on it (Hats pack or similar) and boot into atmosphere dont try stock until you have booted atmosphere
