Hey guys, Im a bit stressed out that my switch is not booting right now and I'm hoping anyone has a solution to this.

First, I updated the SX OS version to the latest beta, 2.9.5. After a successful reboot, I updated the switch firmware to 10.0.1. After this, my switch no longer reboots. I tried everything. The only indication that my switch is not dead is this:

I hold the power button for about 15 seconds and then inject the payload. SX OS banner comes up, adn a few seconds later a batter indicator shows up. After that, there's nothing. I feel like my switch is still running after that because it is a bit warm. Is there any way to fix this or know what is happening? I've attached a video of this below:

OK, I did some digging and found out the mistake I did. While updating the firmware I chose Fat32. But my SD card is in ExFAT. Any idea how to fix it now? I managed to boot into the original firmware for now. While that SX OS Logo came, I pressed the + button to bring up the bootloader menu. Then booted into the original firmware.

Hopefully you are not using emunand. If not, you can just use a fat32 card, boot to CFW and reinstall 10.0.2 with exFAT support. If you are running emunand it id more of a pain, as you would need to copy the emunand files to an SD that is fat32 formatted, so you can boot and reintall the update. Then copy back to the exFAT card. That's also assuming you are no using the partition emunand.
