Hacking Switch cfw showing black screen after removing mem card, help pls

takami00 · Nov 30, 2022

Hello, yesterday i bought a v1 switch that was already hacked, i powered off the switch and then removed the memory card, afterwards it wouldn't turn on no matter what ( battery isn't dead as it was around 50% charged)
Although when i connect it into my computer it makes the "device connected sound", doesn't it make that sound only when the switch is on? Guessing it's a black screen from seeing replies on other posts.
Can someone help me through the process? I'm not really familiar with hacking a switch

I guess your Switch has turned on AutoRCM.
Why do you remove memory card? Because files that Hekate/Atmosphere are in the SD card. Without SD card, they probably will not boot

I re-inserted the sd card seconds after removing it, but won't show anything on the screen.
Could it be that it has booted up but the screen is just black?

I'd like to also include that when it's on power it doesn't show the little charging indicator on the top left

I think you should have a look at this first to understand Switch hack terminologies https://rentry.co/SwitchHackingIsEasy

Then, I think you should re-hack your switch with above guide. Please DO NOT follow any Video Guide from Youtube because most of them are outdated and may harm your machine.

Edit1: Did seller give you the dongle like this?

no dongle, just the switch
Is it an issue if he didn't send it?

Please keep in mind that the console can no longer boot on its own, so you'll need a PC, phone, or other payload injector (as my case: a dongle) to start the console after a coldboot (which it seems like your situation).

Note: If the console screen stays black when pressing the power button after activating AutoRCM, It's in RCM, which I suppose your Switch current state.

Follow this https://rentry.org/SwitchPayloadLaunch#erista-unpatched to inject payload with your computer (usb a - usb c cable is required)

I suggest you should buy a RCM Loader One so you can inject payload on the go.
But, if you are using an android phone, you can you it instead (remember to bring OTG USB C cable)

Look around your hometown first. Local stores are always faster and support easier. Else, you can buy one from Aliexpress
