Need serious help with a possibly bricked switch, i have the backup of sysnand

[Absolute_Vile]

So yes my switch wont boot into normal OFW and wont show any signs of life BUT i can boot into RCM, But when i try to enter atmosphere via heckate it says failed to mount sd card, Is this bricked? If it is i have a few thing to ask.

1.-I have the backup of sysnand (i think thats what called) but its partitioned in many parts, how can i put thm together?

2.-Once this is done i would like to know how i can restore the siystem perhaps theres a tutorial of is easy enough to explain here
Thanks for any help i can get

EDIT:RAWNAND thats the files i have in 15 pieces as well as 2 boot files and a restore file.

Im pretty sure my switch is bricked but is there any danger in restoring these files if its not bricked?

Well i tried but when is turned off and i press POWER it wont show anything at all it stays black, then it wont boot into heckate until i press power for 10 seconds then inject it, then i can enter RCM, the sd has all the files needed but when i choose option inject atmosphere in heckate it says this specifically:

A FATAL ERROR AOCCURRED WHEN RUNING FUSE.
FAILED TO MOUNT THE SD CARD.

PRESS POWER TO REBOOT

EDIT: i was using mods on BOTW and sudenly it crashed and it ended like this

 

[linuxares]

Ok yes but i cant boot into normal OFW

Well since you try to boot via Hekate it can cause issues.
Tried another sd card?

Did you try to eject the SD card and put back in? and What format is the card? exFAT, FAT32?

Tried another sd card?

I tried here are the results:

1.-Another sd did the trick and boot into sysnand via atmos
2.-I still cant boot into OFW

i say for now is a victory at least i can enter

Thanks for the help, at least i know is not broken...that much..the sd card seems to be pretty damaged

Its inexFAT, is weird cuz everything can read it with no issues..HECK i have a clean switch that can read it with no issues at all, is just that part that cant read it, obviously it can cuz i can boot heckate in it but well, guess the sd card is near dead

You would want to use FAT32 for modded switch.

i tried, the sd is 512 so by default windows cant format it 32, i tried to use the popular program but it says it cant be used on this pc

 

[linuxares]

oh exfat... so the card might just gotten corrupted then.

use guiformat.

 

[Absolute_Vile]

use guiformat.

i cant, the guiformat says the sd is being used by another program but it isnt, is like my pc refuses to work with fat32

i managed to format in fat32, but still wont work, i will assume the sd card is dead, still thanks for the help, i guess these stuff aint eternal
