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…
Contact Nintendo? I haven’t checked mine, and I have an OG Switch as well (I believe). It would surprise me if you get more traction here than contacting Nintendo.
This does have me wondering what the warranty terms are concerning updates like this.
Verified, I have an original Switch model.
I updated to 17.0.0 just fine. So either you have run out of battery or perhaps it bricked because it had very low power when you updated it. These are just guesses and certainly nowhere near helping with a solution.
The battery was full when it updated
I’m from Costa Rica so I don’t know if I can contact Nintendo. Should I try to contact a authorized store?
Couldn’t hurt, probably. Good luck to you, hope it can be fixed and with little to no cost.
go buy a box from fedex and send your switch to japan
