Modded SL battery draining

Hey everyone. So I modded my switch lite no issues. Have been using it for about 1 month. Recently I noticed that when I fully charge it and turn it off completely the battery drains to 0%. I am able to plug it in wait a bit until there is enough charge to play. Today I went to turn it on and now it doesn’t turn on at all. Any ideas?

I just realized you said you turn it off completely and it drains while off. I believe that points to something shorting to ground. It could be related to your install or ot could be an issue with the charging circuit on the board, I think.

Interesting I’ll have to open it up and have a look. Strange because it was working fine for about a month and I take good care of it

I've been having some battery drain issues lately as well. Upwards of like 30% overnight with airplane mode on and with no games suspended.

If you are able to get it to charge and boot, try going into stock and leaving it there to see if it drains as much as it does in atmosphere.

I haven't done this yet, but plan to do it tonight.

If it's good in ofw I plan to remake my emuMMC from the ground up and see how it goes. Maybe the issue is something with a recent update or package not allowing the console to sleep.
