Hello everyone,
Essentially my switch is stuck at boot on the switch logo. This began a month ago in November, I wanted to pick up my Switch to play a couple of games, the battery was dead of course so I just plopped it into my official dock to charge it. Shortly after, an error popped up and it got spiraled into a boot loop in which only Nintendo Switch Logo is shown. I tried to enter CFW / OFW back then and it failed so I asked around and was told it was a motherboard issue so I just left it aside as I was too busy to send it in for repair.
Fast forward to today, I picked it up in a "just try" attitude and viola! It loads! So I got excited and had it charged up, and then updated it to the latest firmware via offline methods. The update should be successful as I was able to play and load a certain few games. Continuing on this streak, I loaded in my game backup (I still do have the physical copy of the game that is backed up) onto my SD card and tried to start up my tinfoil v8.10 and was met with the errors "failed to enable DS" and "failed to initialize usbDs! 01F60000" before entering tinfoil. Since it managed to enter I thought it was perfectly fine so I attempted to install my backup but it didn't download. I exited tinfoil to be greeted by a black screen. I then proceeded to update my tinfoil manually by downloading from the site itself, boot up to CFW and once again, I am greeted by an error that sends my switch spiraling into boot loop like before.
I’ve never used any third-party dock or charger, no water, no falls.
Emunand was not backed up if I am not mistakened cause I was dumb
Symptoms:
To be clear: This logo is where it is stuck at
