any guides on hekate? how can I check i its exploitable? I doubt it is it looks pretty new. I know where to find the number to check if its exploitable for a switch that will boot but not on a non booter

well holy crap its exploitable and rcm detects it maybe its just stuck in rcm maybe the previous owner put it in rcm and its stuck there, i tried pressing the power button a million times for 15 seconds and it didnt boot so I guess ill have to investigate how rcm works
All versions can boot in RCM but only the unpatched ones can be injected successfully in RCM mode. Just find inject a payload (tegraexplorer.bin). if it injects it successfully and you see something on your screen then it means it's unpatched. I found the serial-number approach to be inaccurate. There are devices tha are 'definitely patched' based on their serial number but they are actually exploitable and can be injected.

so guess what it worked! I injected and it showed on screen! so im thinking there is nothing wrong with the switch and they guy before me has it in auto rcm so ill be turning that off today and checking if it boots!

just booted atmosphere and it goes to the home screen and plays games maybe all switches with this issue just need to be gotten out of rcm!

Check the filter on the D+ and D- lines, and the 3.3v rail. You should be able to get RCM as long as you have power to the SOC and the data lines connected. Check for continuity between the blue and yellow points. View attachment 218414 View attachment 218415
I have a liquid damage switch that draws 0.41a and does not power on or show a charge symbol. I have no continuity between the blue and yellow points. Also here are my readings with just the battery plugged in.

There was a fair amount of corrosion around the MAX77622A Chip on the back side which i have mostly cleaned off now, and some of caps seem to make a low chirp/rumble from my multimeter when checking for shorts.
