Good day, everyone.
TLDR;
I fixed the microSD reader on my switch and tried to boot hekate with it and Atmosphere working. I unplugged the battery hastly and completely assembled the switch again to find it not booting atmosphere or HOS at all, just a black scren. I did used to and still do receive a message saying my microSD card is in "1-bit mode" but I don't care because it used to work before even with that message. Could it be a NAND brick? if so, can I repair the brick without flashing a backup? and again, if so, how can I build a new NAND backup if I lost my old one.
Full Post:
I recently repaired my old nintendo switch v1 which wasn't functional due to a broken DAT2 pin on the microsd card reader connector.
After many attempts and much practice (considering I'm a beginner in microsoldering), I finally pulled it off and jumped the DAT2 connection from a debug pin on the back of the switch's motherboard to the reader itself. It worked when I tried it without the fan and game card slot since I just wanted to test it out: It booted into hekate with a payload injector I used (it couldn't do that before since the card wasn't being read), and I was able to successfully boot into Atmosphere. All was well, the home menu was running fine (albeit, none of the games ran and I assume it was because I didn't plug the fan in since I didn't put thermal paste), and out of excitement I forgot to power off the console and just removed the battery immediately. I put back everything and closed up the switch and attempted to boot the console back up with hekate working, but atmosphere and HOS didn't work, it just gave me a black screen, but I could tell something was running because I couldn't turn RCM on unless I forced it to shut down. I was receiving and still am receiving a message about my microSD card running in "1-bit mode" or something, but it doesn't matter and I didn't really care because it was still running perfectly fine on Atmosphere before, even with this error. Could my NAND be corrupted? If so, is there anyway I can "uncorrupt" it, or build a new NAND backup? I think I lost mine when I changed my computer.
Please help me with this as I am desperate and just want this switch to work as before.
Cheers!
