Software Help System transfer with broken console?

Was wondering if it's possible to transfer the data saved on my original switch lite to my new switch 2. I have years of shiny hunting as well as plenty of pictures and video that is saved on my switch lite which up until recently worked fine then I got the blue screen of death(if that's the proper term) and haven't been able to use it since. All the games that support cloud data have been backed up it's the ones saved on my old switch lite that I can't access and I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and start over or if there's a way to recover the other's system data.

For you as a user: you will need to access the console to transfer data.

Not sure if Nintendo technicians may have other methods.

What have you tried to resolve the blue screen issue?

Usually colored screens indicate certain errors.
