    Hardware Nintendo Switch won't boot past Nintendo logo, but RCM and Charging is Fine

    It's probably my Joy-Con jig, but I can't seem to get it into RCM mode, if it was, it still should get into RCM mode and just reject the payload, I think.

    Hardware Nintendo Switch won't boot past Nintendo logo, but RCM and Charging is Fine

    I included a note saying "Hope to keep my saves," and the NAND itself was fine since I was able to back it up and can access the files. I tried transferring them manually via HACtool with a second switch I had, but it made the Switch unable to boot, so I restored that one back from its NAND...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch won't boot past Nintendo logo, but RCM and Charging is Fine

    $99 + fees was like $117. However... I noticed that the charge on my account disappeared today. My theory is that my problem was similar to the 3rd party dock issue so they fixed it free out of warranty. The system placed a hold on the amount as they received my system but didn’t end up leaving...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch won't boot past Nintendo logo, but RCM and Charging is Fine

    Hi! Thanks for the offer, though I decided to the send it in to NOA. Unfortunately NOA is different, and they charged me for the repair as soon as they received it and just sent me a new console today claiming a save data malfunction despite me having had backed up everything (including the...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch won't boot past Nintendo logo, but RCM and Charging is Fine

    I'll look into doing it with Nintendo of America, I just hope they don't mind that in the process it's had its screws replaced, battery replaced, and back enclosure changed since mine actually had cracked before opening it. I'm assuming they'll just be like oh well it voids the warranty, which...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch won't boot past Nintendo logo, but RCM and Charging is Fine

    I think the battery IC must be it, too. The battery charges just fine. I'm going to see if I can get a multimeter to check the battery IC on my bad switch to see but I feel certain it's that now. I did give the hacdiskmount method a try since I have the keys of both systems, but I'm not sure...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch won't boot past Nintendo logo, but RCM and Charging is Fine

    I've left it plugged in over night (just this last night, it was unplugged before) with the Nintendo Charger adapter (for the dock) but plugged in directly to the Switch itself. The Hekate battery tool didn't help me out. I did change the battery with a new one and I do notice the battery is...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch won't boot past Nintendo logo, but RCM and Charging is Fine

    No 3rd party dock here. Only dock I have used is the Nintendo one from the box (I got the system on launch day last year) and the only cable I used to charge in portable mode was the official Nintendo USB-C cable I got with my Pro Controller. Before my switch stopped working, the Switch had been...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch won't boot past Nintendo logo, but RCM and Charging is Fine

    Yes I did, actually. I don't wanna be banned of course, so I made sure the internet router was off during the attempt. However, when it tried to launch the CFW OS, which I think was Hekate CFW instead of the RCM payload I would be left on a black screen after the initial Hekate logo appeared...

    Yes, I had never done anything with RCM before then, and I always kept it up to date.

    I gave that a try, though I used ChoiDujour to do it with a fresh software update image on 5.1.0 (can't use ChoiDujourNX since not even CFW will boot for Homebrew) and it did the exact same thing, so it feels like the software is fine.

    Hardware Nintendo Switch won't boot past Nintendo logo, but RCM and Charging is Fine

    Hi everyone. My Nintendo Switch stopped working around a while back (it's past its warranty), and I've looking into how to get it fixed. My Switch would no longer turn on at all, so I removed the battery and it turned on, but only to the Nintendo logo before shutting off and never displaying...
