Still trying - USB C cable was a no-name brand.
The Nintendo charger was not the culprit.
Since taking it out of autoRCM mode it now registers 5v with the nintendo charger (no charge though).
At this point I think I'm going to try swapping the chips - I've watched TronicsFix do a few. Are there any other guides or videos to go through this process? This is fairly new to me. I've done soldering, but these vids make it look like you heat it up and swap them out without additional soldering.

Quick update to this, sorry for bump, but I don't want to let this die in case someone else can find this useful -
I swapped the BQ24193 chip out fairly easily. I purchased a solder/heat gun combo and followed TronicsFix and MyMateVince on youtube
For anyone interested in DIY repair, both of those users are great to watch and learn. TronicsFix is more professional so you can see how it should be done whereas MyMateVince is less experienced so he kind of goes about it the same way a new person would which is useful for newbies.
Anyway, I swapped the chips and the problem persisted. I watched a few more videos and the fault looks similar to their videos where the M92T36 is the problem. Ordered one from aliexpress and now waiting on the item. Ill check back in on this when I solder that one on to see if it fixes. Wish me luck.

Hello SJack. Can you let us know what happened in the end?

I am dealing with the same error! Is there an update to your journey?
