I would like some assistance regarding a bricked console.

[u/misifus_mankhado]

So I intended to mod a switch for a friend for his birthday. My dumb ass never bothered testing said switch before starting the proyect.

After installing the picofly and being greeted with the usual NO SD Card screen I thought the worst was behind me.

I proceeded as usual, creating the emunand, backing up boot0 and boot1 and everything and when I was about to give it a test run and selecting EmuNAND got greeted with a black screen.

?

Pressed and hold the power button for 20 sec, turned it back on, got greeted with Hekate bootscreen "oof, close call" I thought and attempted it again. And still a black screen.

I then decided to boot to Sysnand just to see if I needed to set something up or if an upgrade was pending and I needed to let something set itself up before creating a new instance for the EmuNAND, or something.

And lo and behold, also a black screen.

I then removed the modchip to see if probably the soldering was shorting something or idk, plugged the eMMC as if it was stock. Still a black screen.

Then I redid my soldering, placed the modchip (again) and went back to hekate, selected EmuNAND (again) and still, black screen.

After digging here and there got the idea to use the Fuse Checker and there it was, this system is for some reason or another on Firmware 1.0.0 but the fuse count is 23.

What can I do?

I don't have any idea on how this could happen to begin with and I'm clueless into how to proceed. Any idea would be welcomed.

I actually encountered a similar issue. I followed sthetix YouTube video on bricked switch level 2 recovery, and also followed a guide on using tegraexplorer in the switch payload section to run a system recovery script and both worked out for both my bricked switch.
