Hacking Question Switch may be bricked, can I save it?

[Tempaaaa]

Atmosphere was working fine, and then all of the sudden, a few days later, i found out my switch was dead, so i charged it for a bit, and tried booting the payload woth tegra. but all that happened was the display turned on, and nothing happened. when I pressed the power button, the display turned off for about 1 second before turning back on. what do i do?


Edit: I fixed it!

Did you have autorcm turned on?
That may be the cause. It may have drained the battery.

Leave it plugged in the charger for at least 30mins

If it does not turn on, you may need to open it up, unplug the battery, the reconnect the battery again to reset.

You need to charge her up. Once in Hekate plug your charger in and wait for a good charge.

then what ?

 

[Lacius]

then what ?

I would let it sit and charge while on Hekate. It'll be slow, but that's probably your best bet.

If you have AutoRCM installed, you should never let the system die, and you should never power off the system. You should always leave it docked and in sleep mode when you are not using it.

How much did it charge?

 

[Tempaaaa]

How much did it charge?

its at 12

 

[Lacius]

its at 12

12% should be enough for it to boot Horizon. Delete the atmosphere folder from your SD card, download the latest version of Atmosphere, put the files and folders onto the root of your SD card (overwriting anything there), and launch the system using the latest version of fusee-primary.

[redmagejosh]

whats horizon?

Horizon is the name of the Switch OS. He means for you to try and boot atmosphere. Send fusee-primary via TegraRCM
