Hacked Switch Won't Boot After Not Using For a Week

[nachoez]

As sung the witch has been left charging for an hour or longer.

After holding the power button for a minute, try injecting inject hekate.

I left it to charge, but TergraRCM won't detect it. I've tried TegraRCM on 2 different computers. I already installed the drivers for it too.

Just noticed a crack on the rim of the charging port. All the pins inside are fine. Do I need to replace the port?

My autoRCM had the system in RCM half the time I was turning it on and off. I didn't know until I plugged it in to my PC and run TegraRcmGUI lol

Does it even gets detected on device manager?

No

No

The switch probably is totally off then. Try disassembling it and check whether charge goes in or not. Whether the battery have enough voltage or not

I opened it up, the battery seems to have a very low voltage. I took a look at the board and saw that some solder next to the BQ24193 chip is gone. The chip also gets very warm when plugged in (like 95 F). The capacitor to the left of it seems to be shorted as well, should I replace the chip?

i think you should make a new thread with that info and with a nice, clear, photo.

so people with good knowledge on switch parts can chime in.

why not just edit his original

why not just edit his original

Because substantial new information (missing/broken components) has surfaced that changes the potential attraction to the kinds of people who click the thread.

The discussion also would change dramatically.

So a new thread, titled with the relevant information would be better.

Hi, I recently hacked my Nintendo Switch and it was working completely fine until I left it for a week and when I came back, it wouldn't boot at all.

I tried hard reset button combinations, which didn't work. Does anyone know what to do?

Did you get it fixed because i have the same problem?

Do you have autorcm enabled?

If so have you tried leaving it on charge for a long time (At least an hour) before trying to boot it?

Yes, I do. I’m fairly certain it’s not a hardware issue though, because it was never dropped or broken, but I can try anyway.
