Oh your battery died?
If that's the case you need to leave your switch on the charger for a while

AutoRCM seems to cause quite many problems. Here you can read more about it: https://gbatemp.net/threads/important-psa-autorcm-battery-warning.505192/. There are also some solutions which maybe fix your issue.

yes thats it.
please say you fixed it.

When I turned on AutoRCM, I felt like the battery drains pretty fast even if the screen was off. I turned it off and the battery was normal again.

rad.i.kal · Jun 20, 2018

Leave it off for longer than 45 mins, it is probably going to need to charge for half a day or more. Phones do similar things

samuelson · Jun 20, 2018

its powered on normally.
i think autorcm is to buggy with battery drain and will stick to the normal way of getting into rcm.
thanks for all the help.
you're all life savers

happened to me when i turned on autorcm the first time. had to charge it for about 3 hours and then it started working normal again. i think autorcm discharges the battery or maybe messes up with the calibration

So if you don't use auto rcm but load up the SX once and let the switch come out of sleep, what mode will you be in?

andijames · Jun 20, 2018

Batteries that literally go flat are notoriously hard to charge up again. That's why they shut off way before this happens. They can't be jump started like a car. You need to leave it plugged in for a fair old time to get the trickle going again. Would advise a recalibration after this too!

this has nothing to do with autorcm

andijames · Jun 20, 2018

Has the OP installed Linux at any point? Does SX OS chew battery when im handheld mode I wonder?

Well OP mentioned he used autorcm. Do you have any facts to support this
