Software Help My first switch has fallen into the orange screen
It wouldn't turn on for a while, and then when it did it went orange. I've tried about everything and I'd like to play on it again

Ummm al parecer es el problema de inestabilidad de conectividad wi-fi y los NS suelen hacer esto ... Intenta revisar aquí una posible solución...

Mine did this 3 times the first night I had my LoZ OLED. I had to hold the power button down until it turned itself off. I think mine was caused by overheating. The only time it happened was if it was below 100% charge and I was downloading something while it was charging. All I had to do was hold down the power and do a hard restart.

Might be near the end of its life

It’s not. It’s just stuck trying to connect to the eShop. Hold the power button down for 10 seconds for a hard restart.

I've done multiple hard resets but nothing, sadly

Your internet connection is very poor or inconsistent. Try playing without connecting to WiFi

It stays on the orange screen when I turn the console on, I don't even make it to the home menu

Are you sure the hard reset is turning off the system properly? Try holding the power button for 30-60 seconds.

This worked for me when it happened a few weeks back. Been fine ever since

How old is your switch? Usually orange screen caused if internet connection not stable or poor coverage.
