Hardware Power surge

Hello I recently had a major power surge and now the switch won't turn on and won't charge I had autorcm installed and have sx pro do you think replacing the battery might fix it?

Did you do a 45s-hold of the power button and attempt to restart? Unmount/remount battery?

If it doesn't respond, the battery is not what would be damaged (at least not likely) but instead the power regulator chip got fried and you'd need a replacement.

I haven't done that yet I did hold power button and stuff it's plugged into a different charger just in case i know if it's dead it will charge very slow in rcm mode

It also fried my electric heater and the power bricks for the Xbox 360 and one

Then there's probably a good chance you fried your switch power regulator, or the charging brick is broken. But do the above things I suggested first and see if you have any luck.

Power surge? Oh dear.

You aren`t part of the 230v AC master race are you?

If you cannot get any joy out of it, PM me and if you want to post to UK, I could possibly help?

Good. As long as its booting to HOS and battery isn`t fooked. Lucky it didn`t take out the M92T36. Funny really... A spec USB charger can take out a M92T36 but a national grid power surge, probably tens of volts cannot. The irony is delicious.

Yeah it fried the surge protector I had it plugged into I literally saw Sparks coming out of it lol and it says it protects up to 2880 joules lies
