Hey guys im new to these neck of the woods, and i wanted to extend my thanks for the community here and to be here.
So im just going to get straight into the steak and potatoes instead of telling you how much i live my nintendo switch.
I know i just said i love my nintendo switch but i did neglect it, i did not give it much love, for the last year it has been sitting on a shelf while i was in the process of moving and starting a job.
The console up till the last time i had played it and put it back on the shelf to take a catnap had worked just fine.
I tried to turn it on yesterday and it did not want to work, i tried all the tricks to the best of my knowledge as far as resetting goes.
But main issue being the screen did not turn on.
I put it on the charger it came with overnight and tried again today but still had no luck.
When i connected to console to the docking station i did notice a small green indicator light blink but at no point stay solid.
I tried to connect the console to the pc and was able to hear the computer connecting to it
So now im unsure what it could be, a hardware or a software issue.
Im not sure because i took very good care of my console and it was in a protective case, along side my games.
I do have a team x dongle and not sure what firmware i was on but did not have issues powering on and if i did resetting wouldnt be a problem
Something i wanted to know was, if there was any special tools out there that nintendo uses or the community might know of that may be used to flash the systems memory and reinstall manually or test out the memory to diagnose a issue?
I dont want to send it in to nintendo and would rather try find the issue and possible fix it myself.
Thanks
