Have you held power for 10 seconds?
I'm guess you ment let it charge for a whole night?
Never do stuff without having it charging!!

Yes I did acutually for a solid 5 days and nothing also tried holding the buttons for a hard reset but nothing.

Have you tried if tegrarcmgui detects it?


it does not show up even on device manager

tried changing the cable.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

ITS must working when you put the jig on the right joy, plug in the switch and hold the + and power
you can uninstall autorcm even when the battery is 0% and the switch turn off this must work
+


also tried that

but no sucess

Do you use a jig or or something else to access RCM? Let the switch charge for 30 minutes then use your jig and tegrarcm to try and load Hekate.

It could be a faulty jig/ cable or your pc acting up as well.the switch should still be able to boot to RCM with those changes to boot0

Yeah but you said it had uninstalled just before the battery died, which means you didn't need any other method to boot RCM for awhile since autorcm was doing it for you.

You might have a dead switch there though if you are saying it doesn't respond at all I'm afraid

Did you try charging it for like half a day and connect it to your pc again. Looks like it ran out of battery and autorcm still wasn't disabled.

I think OP said he charged it for 5 days and tried.
That's why I asked when last he used a jig.
We don't know his efuse count and current firmware, so I was thinking it might be a fuse mismatch and now autoRCM is off, his missing the period he can use to boot RCM. And the 3 main causes for it is, crappy jig, faulty cable or a windows installation that's full of nonsense

Now that you've uninstalled AutoRCM, what are you using to put your Switch in RCM mode? I've been reading too many stories about people using crappy jigs. If you're using something like a paper clip, then it's possible you could have screwed up the pins on your switch.

Going to try to change the USB c cable just in case and also i did not burned any efuse (i think so) the jig that i have was an 3d printed one i am considering a dead switch btw after unistalling rcm my Dongle when connected to my PC it would charge but when i connected the Dongle to the switch while charging it Windows did the sound when you connect a device. Weird.
