Hi guys, i hope some can bring me some light to this "little" issue, because im quite devasted and lacking ideas.

I got this issue last month after updating my day one Switch to latest atmosphere, firmware and hekate release, as well as using the "kitties sigpatches". Everything was working fine for a few days, i played some games and let it charging in the dock. Just the next afternoon, the switch remained in black screen. It didnt get hit nor were any electrical issues at home those days.

I tried some methods without results:
- Charging it all night, both in dock and just the charging cable. Right joycon shows lights, the left doesnt. The screen does not show any lights in the edges nor shows the battery icon.
- The dock is detected by the TV, but doesnt recognize the Switch.
- The original charge cable works fine when used in my smartphone.


- Holding the power button for 15 seconds up to 1 minute
- Holding the power button and Volume+ combined for the same time.
- Used a jig in the right joycon, and the previous combination.


- After trying all the previous steps, still isnt detected by tegra in my pc (The same goes for NS-USBloader). Nor shows the hekate menu, or switch/atmosphere logo, nor go int OFW
- I updated the drivers many times
- I tried some type-c charging cables.

- Also, i tried using a clean SD, just with atmosphere and hekate files, as well as without the SD inserted.

The only thing i havent done yet is to open the switch and remove the battery

TLDR: updated switch to latest firmware/atmosphere/hekate remains in black screen after some days working fine. Tried different methods, any of them worked.

I read a lot of threads about black screens and any of them give me a hit, so i decided to ask for help

Hey I had this same issue! Anyways the thing that fixed it was putting the new fussee.bin into bootloader > payload on the sd card. As soon as I put it back into the switch it booted back up. The fussee file MUST stay in that payload file and no where else.

(Also every new update of atmosphere comes with a new different fussee bin if you didn’t already know)

    Tired of the entire "BUT BUT BUT WINDOWZ SPYWARE!!!" thing too, when the same people give out tons of their personal info to plenty of other companies but say nothing about it.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @RedColoredStars, Companies do the exact same thing with other companies as well, so it's not just Microsoft. There are 3rd-parties like 'data brokers'.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I'm 52 years old and one of my jobs in life was marketing research. Im well aware. I've been online for around 30 years. Everyone and their grandmother already has my personal information. One more having my email address isn't ruining my life or even effecting me in any way whatsoever.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    In fact. I freely give info. Stuff like gasoline apps, to save $, grocery apps, lots of cash back from rakuten, etc. etc.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    $300 back last year from Rakuten for allowing them to track my purchase. I'll take the money for them to know I bought a bunch of stuff for my cat and some video games. lol

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, Exactly.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    And for people to say things like "But I use all fake info". No, they don't. lol. They use fake info for all of their banking and online shopping? Fake shipping address, fake payment info? lol
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Fake name, address and payment info for internet service, etc? lol. Ill say it again. Everyone freaks out about OMG WINDOWS!! But crickets on anything else they do.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Other windows stuff people complain about hypocritically too. Like "But but but Windows bundle junk apps!!!!" Yeah?? So do many Linux distributions. Dont like it? Use one without them. Same with windows. Either find a pre-made version without the bundled stuff, or very easily make your own installer with what you want and do not want.

    I dont like the stuff added either. I have zero use for copilot or recall. But I also just simply disable it and move on.

    How is the Xbox dying?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Xbox one sold nearly 60 million units

    Remember when Phil was going to buy out more studios to work with them? I guess they couldn't keep up with demands.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They already have dozens of studios with big names why care about little Jim making your favorite indie point and click exclusive
