So my Switch just doesn't respond when payloads are injected. When I inject pretty much any payload to it, I get a "success" result, but the screen of my Switch is absolutely blank, without even any backlight. It definitely is still in RCM, but is has zero change. I've tried reinstalling drivers, restarting my PC, using different payloads, etc. I've also tried asking in a few discords and haven't reached a solution yet (though I'll try a different USB-C cord and try a USB 3.0 port on my computer later, as a suggestion from a helpful Discord member). Here are some CMD logs from using Smash to inject ReiNX.bin instead of the GUI:
And here's me trying to inject biskeydumb.bin:
Though it was taking a while and I had to leave for work so I powered down my Switch resulting in a "failed" message after the above. But it didn't seem like it was doing anything on my screen, if it was supposed to. To get the obvious out of the way - yes, the Switch screen DOES work outside of RCM. Yes, my computer detects when it's connected in RCM versus when it's not in RCM, so it can differentiate between the two. And I tried a hard power down by holding the power button for about 30 seconds before attempting again, it still didn't work. I was told that the "0x0057" byte was a somewhat curious value that's not normal to have.
I tried searching far and wide for this issue and it seems my Switch is the special snowflake that's experiencing this. The closest I've found to this issue is someone that was able to resolve it with a hard powercycle and someone that had a corrupted SD card (mine is fine), and people with Switches that are new enough to have patched bootloaders (my serial tests just fine, so unless the seller of this Switch swapped the serial sticker or something I don't see this being an issue). So anyone have any suggestions? Sorry if this is a bit lengthy - I wanted to give as much information as I could.
Edit - Tested with a new USB cable, utilizing a USB 3.0 port, still no dice.
The error occurred when I removed my device after about 30 minutes of waiting. Also confirmed via Switch OS that my serial number is XAW10059. There was no switcharoo with serial stickers on the seller's part.
Final edit - Got it to work. I just used a different PC. Not sure what the problem was with my initial PC but it works just fine now. I guess the takeway from this is that if anyone else has this problem, use a different device...
