I installed SX Core modchip in Nintendo Switch Mariko and now I can't pass a boot.dat screen. Tried to use Sandisk ultra 256 Gb microSDXC and Lexar 32 Gb microSDHC with beta boot.dat v 3.0.4. I formatted both to Fat32 with size 32 kb and didn't get a successful result. Also I tried to format them on another Nintendo Switch and got the same. What can I do else?

Try to format you SD card again but using Guiformat FAT32 tool.
If none of the SD card you tried is working, maybe your SD card reader is not correctly connected?
It is worth checking it before to explore other solutions.

Inserted it in another Nintndo Switch and it's working correctly there
I'm talking about the SD card reader inside your Switch.
If you tried several SD cards with the latest V3.0.4b and you cannot pass the grumpy card logo, the problem is probably from the reader, not from the cards.

I wrote about the card reader. I pulled it out and put in another switch and the same action I did with the card reader from another switch. If the problems with the card reader port on the motherboard then I don't know how to check it

Put in the SD card turn it on and when the boot.dat logo appears press the power button once to turn it off and press the power button to turn it back on without removing the SD card. I had a similar problem on my switch and randomly got it to work by doing this. You night have the same luck

Thanks for your advice but, unfortunately, it hasn't helped me

You could test the connections to the pins via this image and hope to locate an issue, though I don't believe the connector on the board was even identified(?) unsure.
