Try to remove the battery fully then and run directly on the USB and see if anything boots.
Well, it happened actually that TegraRCMGUI detected RCM, and my Switch worked. I found out that when my dad cracked my microSD accidentally last night while trying to help me, it actually broke even though it was a very small crack, so I'm gonna ask him to buy me a new one. I think that might have been the problem. The Trinket couldn't find the SD card which it needs because it launches a payload that's stored there. No clue why webloaders didn't work though. I put the files needed for the Trinket on my other microSD card, and now it's working fine, and the battery is fixed. I'm very relieved...except that now I have to install a bunch of stuff on a new SD card.

webloaders mostly require Linux/OSX since Windows is bit of a dick.

Haha, guess that was it. It was just my SD card, sigh. I should’ve mentioned that was possibly broken also, but it completely slipped my mind.... Plus I’d never seen that error before from the dongle.

Yeah, I actually never managed to crack an SD Card. I wonder what happened to it.

I think he might have pressed down on it while trying to take it out from the console.... The crack is very small, and I didn’t think it’d break it. Then again, the SD is very small too XD I also just switched from a Mac to Windows, so I wasn’t aware webloaders would stop working.

Well Amazon.com got a drive on MicroSD cards right now. So why not ask your father to order one from there?
