I’m sending in my Nintendo switch in for repairs do you think Nintendo repair center could tell if I was using sx os??

they will most likely patch it actually

Lmao no. that would require much more work than they need to do.

the newer switch models that patched Fusee Gelee just have updated Ipatches which is something that can easily be done to a pre existing consoles at factory

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIET

Yeah, the last thing I would ever do is put my hacked Switch back in Ninty's hands. There's a high chance they're going to patch your system. My thought process is, if I were Nintendo, and my flagship system is allowing easy piracy, I would patch the crap out of repair units.

hehehe they'll know YOUR SCREWED

With the amount of money one would save in games by using sxos, I can't work people out who send their console back under warranty. You have say 10 downloaded titles, you evil little pirate! 10 titles at £49 apiece or £270 for a new exploitable unit... Vs your old unit back patched.

A patched switch rendering these games unplayable is a fool move.

I consider warranty void. Never send it back. Break it up for spares and buy another console.

Parts are plentiful on eBay. Screens, rails, housings...

Or once they have patched your console, buy all your games as the ipatches get updated/motherboard exchanged. If I played games, I know what I'd do.

Could have fixed that rail yourself.

Already considered repairing it myself my mother was not on board with the idea. And all the local nintendo repair centers I called had no idea what i was talking about when I asked them about it.

Uh listen to mom. She should decide whether you do a 5 minute repair yourself. Sure she's the professional

You say it like there aren't kids on here that quite Possibly can't purchase the items to repair it themself.

And how did the kid get the sx pro in the first place? f you can buy a SX pro, you can exchange that cheap part.

If you can, restore a nand backup and format the device.Better to get rid of as much tampering you can before sending it away,just in case they look.
If they ask you how the rail broke,just play dumb. They might put 2 and 2 together and think (hey,this guy was messing with pins,lets check what he did on the console),so the less you have on there,the better for you

Acquiring an SX pro and replacing a rail isn't on the same level bud.
Plug and play versus opening a device and making it worse.Lets not forget that his impatience is what got him here in the first place.What if he strips a screw? breaks a ribbon?

As it is now,at least he might get a fully functional switch back that isn't messed up and still under warranty for any future mishaps.
If they send it back saying they wont fix it,then he can look at options to replace it himself

Nobody actually knows but if Nintendo can catch people going online they could more easily catch it if they physically have the device. The thing is we don't know whose hands it's going into and what they will actually be checking which would be dependent entirely on what the problem with the device is. I think if it isn't a software error you will be fine but who knows if they would go as far as to add the patch to it... I can't say I'd send my system in at this point with plans to abuse Atmosphère and possibly SX OS on it unless it was absolutely destroyed.

 

[subcon959]

I think it's only a tenner for a new rail and probably much less than an hour to replace it.

If you're not old/skilled enough to do it then a local repair shop will gladly take your money (although I doubt they will have the spare part).

Sending back to Nintendo is a gamble. They might just throw your Switch in the bin and replace it with another one (that might or might not be patched). It's way easier for them to do that than mess around with repairs.

Now that's just making you sound even dumber. Just because his mom bought the SX Pro doesn't doesn't mean she's going to let him take it apart the $400 system to replace the rail. If i was him I'd send it back to get them to replace it too. Very highly unlikely that they will do anything but swap the rail and boot it up and send it back. I sent back my RROD xbox 360 for warranty repair that had the drive modded. And they fixed the issue and sent it right back.

Waiting for results.

Think we might be waiting awhile for the returned item
