You read it right. I have the OG Switch (HAC-001) and the newest update broke it. It does not get past the Nintendo logo.
I haven’t hacked my Switch.
It got bricked right after restarting.
Other people have updated and their Switch is somehow fine.
Help…
I’m from Costa Rica so I don’t know if I can contact Nintendo. Should I try to contact a authorized store?
go buy a box from fedex and send your switch to japan
Couldn’t hurt, probably. Good luck to you, hope it can be fixed and with little to no cost.
