Switch only boot into Hekate - OFW didnt work

[Moneyforthecash]

I have a Switch OLED with Picofly 2.73 which no longer boot into the OFW. Hekate starts but with the OLED comes briefly the Atmosphere logo and then the screen remains black. I removed the chip and the switch does not boot. Chip reinstalled and the Switch boots into the Hekate menu. Different Payload like Lockpick and TegraExplorer works. Does anyone have an idea what could have happened?


The owner has proceeded according to these instructions:

try the emmc benchmark in hekate

Does it have the 47 Ohm resistors?

Yes 47Ω resistors are installed. Do not forget The switch will no longer boot if you remove the chip.

seems like your emmc has been corrupted somehow. you should try to dump boot0/boot1/prodinfo and then do a level 2 restore

@deeps Can you explain this to me quickly with v2 or is it very complex?

Thank You. This will take some time. Will try it as soon as possible.

Followed the tutorial 1:1. Everything is well explained. But unfortunately, at the point where you start in SYSMMC again no picture.

Next try is a Level 3 unrbick....


Edit: Even with Level 3 unbrick I had no success. The picture remains black as soon as you want to boot into the OFW.

Hi, have one (also oled) with the very same problem. Was working perfectly (backup and setup done). Installed a couple of games and left it in emunand in standby- next day black screen. Removed battery and booted Hekate again. Did nand restore from backup but no success. Did you manage to resolve it? Thanks

Did you manage to resolve it?

Unfortunately no, I have sent the Switch for repair. Since the console was purchased over a year ago, I no longer had a warranty. Had to pay 150€ for a motherboard replacement.
