When you get a black screen, the LED is blue flashing, or it gets green?
I have my switch with LED blue flashing forever.
If I put the NAND in the original connector, it boot OFW and works well


UPDATE: The integrated near V2 text was upper the shield, i changed it to bottom and it works

for me the problem was that I had to partition the scard manually so there was only one exfat partition.

Hi all,
I have the same issue.
Installed sx core chip on switch v2.
This is my 3rd chip but this time it was unsuccessful. I got to the sx boot, dumped the nand and all went fine.
Then I tried to boot into cfw, nintendo logo appeared for 2 sec and then black screen.
Tried to boot to ofw ... same thing
Tried to remove the chip and boot to ofw ... same thing.
Replaced sd card... same thing
Resolved the chip ... same thing.

Please help

I remove microsd and added 3 less than 4gb sized xci directly from pc and then the microsd got corrupted. I formated with exfat and copied all previously backup files but switch only shows sxcore flash screen and got black. Do I need to format it in fat32 only and copy all the backup again? I am very new to all these so may be I am asking silly questions.

When using a SD card on a switch for the first time it should only have a boot loader. Like if this is an SX switch then the first time you put it in it will usually always work if the only things on it are the boot.dat and the license file.

Try that if possible.
