Hi!
I tried today to buy a used Switch. The guy, a student had originally bought a used Switch from Gamestop 3 months prior.
The Switch was in pretty scratched shape on the screen, but joycons and everything worked fine. Touch, sound and everything. But when I tried to use my TX jig in the right rail, it refused to enter. Kind of sponged and went out again. Odd I thought for myself, I must have managed to press it out by mistake. I tried putting it down again and noticed a very odd resistance. So I tried the left rail and it worked perfectly fine.
So I tried holding the jig down on the rightside and boot TX, no dice, I could still see the metal parts of the jig so it didn't make contact.
Then I looked down in the rail, it was some odd tiny white part in it. Like a bit of tape or such, I didn't have any tools or real interest after seeing the screen to continue, but it was a hackable switch serial (3.0 firmware release console) and this is the first time I ever heard/seen it. I of course didn't take any pictures because I was a totally idiot and I had parked illegally outside so I was already stressing.
Have anyone heard about this? Or is it someone who had it before that tried to fix a wiggling joycon or something? Or was it really gamestop that have implemented an anti-hack thing?
