    Purchase date:
    Fusée Gelée works:

    If you know with which Firmware your switch came out of the box, please fill in those fields. Shout out to @gnilwob, who created a tutorial to check if your switch is able to run a Fusée Gelée payload. You can view it here.

    According to CTCear, here are some information about the Switch serial numbers:

    For example: XAJ70002712345

    X: Product of NX line
    A: Switch Hardware
    J70: Assembly line
    The following numbers are probably a consecutive number. So the Switch in the example is Switch number 2712345.

    Here is a quick guide on how to check the Firmware without going through the initial setup.
    Where to look for the serial before you buy a Switch: There is a hole on the underside of the box where a sticker with the serial is placed.

    The spoiler has a pic with the location.
    Warning: Spoilers inside!



    TL;DR. Compare your serial here to know if your Switch is patched or not:

    Serials beginning with XAW1:
    XAW1007800X and below are safe to buy
    XAW1007900X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
    XAW1010000X and above definitely patched

    Serials beginning with XAW4:
    XAW4001100X and below are safe to buy
    XAW4001200X and above not not safe, possibly patched
    XAW4003000X and above definitely patched

    Serials beginning with XAW7:
    XAW7001780X and below are safe to buy
    XAW7001790X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
    XAW7003000X and above definitely patched

    Serials beginning with XAJ1:
    XAJ1003100X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched

    Serials beginning with XAJ4:
    XAJ4005000X and below are safe to buy
    XAJ4005100X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
    XAJ4006000X and above definitely patched

    Serials beginning with XAJ7:
    XAJ7004000X and below are safe to buy
    XAJ7004100X and above not safe to buy, possibly patched
    XAJ7005000X and above definitely patched



    If you want your Switch to be on a certain Firmware, compare your serial here.
    If you just want to know if your Switch is patched or not, refer to the TL;DR section. The spoiler blow is only useful for people who want to buy a Switch an a specific firmware.

    don't give the full serial number.
    only the beginning should be enough (like we did on Wii)

    you never know what could be done to your console/account if you publicly provide your full serial.

    2.2.0 installed, I think that is the idea of this post

    — Posts automatically merged - Please don't double post! —

    So, in USA regions, we can say XAW1000 is 1.0.0 ans XAW1001 is 2.2.0

    Man, this breaks my "theory", are you sure is 7000 and not 1000? :( Or maybe XAJ7000, like the EUR consoles? :/

    What does XAJ70006 mean?
    It came with version 1.0.0 since i didn't have any internet when i unboxed my switch. As soon as i connected it wanted me to update to 3.0.0.

    Uhm, I don't know?
    Is that your serial number?

    It looks for me like only the first four numbers matter, after that the serial number is probably console unique.
    I will edit the OP to only include the first 4 numbers.
