So I got a switch 2 years ago and i recently had the idea to mod it. Everything fine . So an update released and i could not access Tinfoil so I downgraded to 9.2.0 with ChoiDojourNX i made sure to turn off auto rcm. Then i formatted my sd, got AtlasNX with tinfoil support and signpatches (which i forgot to apply) and booted . Everything fine until i remembered the signpatches i removed my sd connected it to my PC installed the needed files and put my sd back. I tried to go to rcm mode and my switch didnt get recognised by TegraRCM . I tried powering it back on but nothing happened . I tried holding the power button for 20+ seconds and try again nothing happend. Anyone that can help me?

Please use google search beforehand.
You left your switch probably in autoRCM and now it's battery completely drained.
Leave it charging for a few hours and try again.

Do you need to open your switch to replace the usb c port?

i found a fix to enter payload just hold the power button for 15 seconds and then just press power button and vol+ and it will be recognised by tegrarcm . I entered hekate and tried to launch a payload but i get a black screen

turns out by console was at 76% and had autoRCM off idk what caused it

Did you use a rcm jig when holding power + volume button?

Thank you for your solution. I was able to enter RCM and inject payload. I need to rest now, I will format my sd card when I wake up.
