I’m still on OFW 6.2.0, and so I haven’t updated SX OS for a while.
I still have to press down the power button for a while and then leave the dongle in for a few seconds in order to completely power off the switch - this because of autorcm.

Can someone tell me if this has been fixed in the newer versions of SX OS?

Thank you :)

SX OS 2.7.1 has yet to remedy this issue, my switch turned back on after about 15 seconds following a shutdown. i don't think the switch's firmware is what's important here but i'll mention that i'm on 7.0.1 nonetheless.
(atmosphere 0.8.4+ doesn't have this issue, so SX OS needs to catch up tbh)

It's a shame this is still an issue with SX OS.
Just to confirm, my method is a viable option to turn off the Switch completely, right? Or the powering off from the payload is an absolute necessity (and I did the wrong thing all this time)?

u did the right thing. just no need to use dongle. when u switch off using sxos it will reboot to rcm. hold power off again to shut down completely

Hold the Power button and select either Reboot or Shut Down (doesn't matter since the Switch will boot to AutoRCM right after). Then, hold the Power button for 12 seconds. Nothing will happen here, the screen will stay black, but it's normal.

That's it, your Switch is fully off.

That's strange, I remember needing the dongle in the Switch while doing so.
Easier without it anyway :)

    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
