I downloaded a theme from themezer, downloaded by nxtheme then tried to use it without rebooting and got a fatal error, now my switch wont turn on and tegra isnt recognizing rcm. I loaded up a past backup and no change. People keep telling me to delete a file in contents but there is no folder in contents. What do I do?

Do you mean a backup of the SD card?

Does the screen stay completely black or does it faintly light up?
In case it lights up faintly,it is in autoRCM mode.
then the Switch is waiting for a payload to be injected.
To turn off the Switch forcefully, press the power button for 15 seconds.

Also check your USB cable.
Especially that the data transfer is working besides the power.
A broken USB cable kept me busy for a few hours once.
If you have an additional Switch, also check that tegraRCM is working correctly.

If you left your Switch for a while, it might have drained it's battery.
Leave it for 15 minutes with the charger connected.
I recall that if the battery is completely drained, the Switch doesn't boot.

With any version of lockpickRCM you can check if injecting works or not.
lockpickRCM doesn't have any dependency on the SD card to boot.

    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
