    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    I just tried a replacement battery I had ordered.. Same behaviour. So it's not the battery EDIT: A few more questions: When in RCM mode, without the NAND connected. Should the Screen or Backlight turn on, or ist it normal that it's completely dead? Is the switch booting into RCM a sign that...

    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    That's very good to know hahah It's very possible that it is patched then. The online serial number checker says "possibly patched". Do you have an idea what could be wrong with the switch? It was charging with 0.44A most of the time and booting into RCM (nothing on screen) with the NAND...

    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    Interesting point about the Switch being patched. Hadn't considered that yet.. Would it show "Payload sucessfully injeted" on a patched Switch though? Because it did that when I was trying hekate

    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    I wanted to try memloader again just now, but now it just connected to the PC for a really short duration. After a few seconds it disconnected, and now it only charges with 0.07A... Could it be a battery issue after all?

    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    I will try booting these 3 again tonight, didn't have time yesterday unfortunately.. The first time I tried memloader, I was trying with an SD card inserted. So with the internal storage attached it would be normal for the PC not to recognize it, right? Since it's not in RCM mode. That's an...

    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    I think it's a Kingston, can't look right now since I'm at work.. Thanks for the info! So I guess it's not confirmed that there's AutoRCM on it then. Do you know if it's even possible to boot anything without the NAND chip?

    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    Are you serious? The Switch wrecked it. What I was asking was if anyone knew a defect where something like this happens, in order to help diagnose what's wrong with the Swtich.

    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    I just tried putting the SD card back into the computer from the switch, and it seems to be broken... Gets detected as a 30MB drive, that I cant format. It was an 8GB card before.. Anyone had something like this before?

    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    Stupid question, but do you guys think it's possible that the switch just defaults to RCM mode when the memory module isn't inserted?

    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    Are you sure it's yours? I bought it in a bundle with joycons and a bunch of other stuff.. And the seller said the joycons themselves work (but one doesn't)^^ I just found out that I can turn the switch off after connecting it to the PC by holding the power button for a little while. It then...

    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    Thanks for the reply! I just tried it. It says payload sucessfully injected, but nothing happens on the Switch :/ Just to make sure I am doing this right.. I downloaded CTCaer/hekate/v5.1.1, took a micro sd card and formatted it to FAT32. Then I put the bootloader folder on that. Inserted the sd...

    Hacking Question Switch only recognized by PC when internal storage is disconnected

    Hey guys, first of all, please forgive me any stupid questions.. I've never owned a switch before. I've bought a defective one off of ebay (doesn't turn on, doesn't fast charge) and wanted to see if I could fix it. It had some corrosion here and there, which I managed to clean off. When...
