I tried the TegraRCMGui Auto Inject, after that my Switch no longer boots and stays on the Nintendo Switch Logo.
I before used TegraRCMSmash. I also tried to boot without my SD card.
Im currently on 5.1.0 with 5 burent fuses (updated from 4.1.0). Should i restore a Nand Backup?
Is there anything else i could do with out to restore that Nand Backup?
Im scared...

What CFW are you using Hekate, ReiNX, or SX OS?
im using hekate with autorcm, with SdFilesSwitch "cfw" (kip1=modules/newfirm/loader.kip, kip1=modules/newfirm/sm.kip) to use the homebrew with holding r on the album.
before that i used stock.
i tried booting without sd, stock, the "cfw".
i tried disconnecting the battery.

my switch was docked in standby for a long time without a hdmi cable plugged in (if thats relevant). i turned it off, cause i wanted to change the bootlogo. that was dumb i guess...

i would like to save my 30h+ save from octopath traveler...

Are you using latest version of hekate with the latest version of the SD files?

And when did it start happening?

It really just did randomly happen. Maybe its cause i used TegraRCMGui Auto Inject? I dont know.
No unofficial dock/charger used here.
I don't know if it would make a difference, but you could try using another CFW such as RajNX or ReiNX

It kinda sounds like a 3rd party dock/charger brick, but you said you've haven't used a 3rd party dock/charger brick so that would be odd.

If nothing works You could try making a rawnand backup and a boot0/1 backup (you can get game save data from a nand backup so if nothing works you could get your saves from it) as well as your BIS keys if you don't already have them. Then if you have an older backup of rawnand and boot0/1 you could try restoring that.
