[BUG] Hekate 6.2.1 glitches in my 2017 switch and it's unusable #999

Closed FerdinandoPH closed 4 months ago

FerdinandoPH commented 4 months ago

I have a 2017 switch (FW 17.0), and I've been using hekate with it for years. However, after updating to the latest version of hekate (6.2.1), I can't get it to run hekate anymore. Many UI elements are glitched, and there is no way to interact with the menu (neither the screen nor the buttons do anything). Imagen de WhatsApp 2024-07-21 a las 18 11 13_b042a6cb

I've tried:

  1. Deleting my bootloader folder and drag&drop the bootlader folder I downloaded from github
  2. Checking for corruption in my SD and my RCM loader (using the Windows error detector)
  3. Using TegraRCM instead of my RCM loader

Yet I still get the same problem. What can I do?

Update: The left joystick seems to work, but only makes corruption worse https://youtu.be/XI5Hq6dBPic

Hello there, Is most likely your SD Card is becoming corrupted (they die with the time), this is not a support site, please go to GBATemp or Discord for support.

Try the next:

Doesn't look like an SD issue to me. Does look like a hardware issue though. Might need to reflow your ram and apu. But sure, why not... try a new sd first with nothing other than atmosphere and hekate on it, just to be sure. Maybe even try without nyx.bin to see if you can navigate the other method with the volume and power buttons.

After backing up my SD, formatting it and testing it with h2testw (which said that my SD is ok), I still have the same problem. The UI is glitched and it won't respond. However, removing nyx.bin lets me use hekate without the UI and it works fine. On the one hand, it might be a hardware issue, just like @urherenow said. On the other hand though, I tried hekate 6.2.0 (and nyx 1.6.2), and although the UI elements have a glitchy appearance, the touchscreen works again and I can use hekate with nyx, so maybe it has something to do with the latest version of nyx?

Sadly that is a confirmation you have a Hardware issue, take the console to a repair shop to reball the APU and memory RAM chips. Sorry.

edit sd:/bootloader/nyx.ini and change bpmpclock=1 to bpmpclock=2 or 3. and btw when you update hekate you are not supposed to delete bootloader folder and your settings
