Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

[bargo]

Hello guys, I have a question regarding my son nintendo switch lite bought in 2020, I now can see the blue screen and I thought there is some digansotic tool that I can use to see what is going wrong there. Is it a memory chip issue? how can we debug the issue? any starting points for diagnosing software that can be used?

Thank you Hayato213, I repair graphic cards and motherboards for a living my friend. So i do replace memories and ASIC chips but I usually use software to diagnose memory issues, is there a way to diagnose this guy? before getting into hardware level repair or do you mean that the blue screen could mean that memory power rails or any other power rail is not raising at all?

All my best,

All my best,

Usually the problem is the apu or the ram, so you can try reflowing them if you got a heatgun.

Much appreciated Hayato213. I will follow your advice then and start with taking off memory chips one by one and then re-ball or replace them, and test.

All my best,

There is a NRO you can convert that to a forwarder.

Thank you <3

I just completely wiped my SysNAND after I installed pirated games on there and realized why I should'nt mod the SysNAND, luckily im not banned. I will eventually go through and reinstall cfw on EmuNAND and reinstall all my legit games, but for now im wondering how i can restore all my users i had before. some of them arent linked to a nintendo account. I do have a backup of the entire switch before i reformatted the sd card and wiped the SysNAND as well.

You have to restore a NAND backup prior to installing pirated game to have a clean NAND.

just realised my other post did go thru ignore this one

I just wiped my SysNand with TegraExplorer and Partioned/Reformatted my SD card after realizing it was a bad idea to install CFW on my SysNand. Eventually, I'm going to reinstall my CFW on EmuNand and reinstall my legit games. For now, I want to know if it's possible to get back my users/userdata. I had a couple that weren't liked to a Nintendo account so those might be lost, BUT i have a backup of my entire sd card before I formatted and wiped the sys. I want to know if I lost any users/profiles.

Well the problem here is that if you go online now with current NAND and it doesn't match with what you were previously online you would get banned.

so should i restore my NAND backup from before i wiped sysnand? Btw i went onto the eshop and that worked fine

If you went online without restoring the NAND then you got flagged for a ban.

Should i just try restoring the NAND i made before the wipe

Probably no use now since you got flagged, you were suppose to restore the clean NAND backup.

so i should just try going online and check if i get banned or not?

It won't be instant ban, so you going online now checking won't matter anymore, because if you did installed a NSP and delete it but didn't restore the NAND backup then the NAND is considered dirty.

what do you recommend i do then

Restoring the NAND won't prevent a ban now, so you may as well just leave it as it is.

alright and if I do get banned, all I lose is playing online games and the switch online retro games right

I believe that you boot into OFW on hardmodded Switches by holding both volume + and - buttons while it's booting, but don't hold it for too long because it'll boot into maintenance mode (as soon as you see Nintendo logo, you can release it, I think).

this worked thank you!!

You lose the ability to go into the eShop and you cannot play games online, both of which have some form of alternative in the homebrew community.
