you said SX pro? it's in Auto RCM mode then from what i heard remove the battery by opening up your switcch and taking out the battery for a few minutes put it back in plug in your type C and try to inject the sx payload.bin and keep your switch plugged in for a few hours to charge after booting)

Yes

I installed the autoRCM and it all works fine yesterday. today I just copy the homebrew and create a switch folder under my sd card and copy pFBA into it, then press the power on button. I just sx os bootup red but left top corner battery show with empty. then I took off the sx pro and plug the charger, it already 20 mins, still not show charging. all black, any ideas?

Yes

Make sure plug in the charger and then hold down the power button. Your Switch isn't bricked, it just needs to get out of RCM. During RCM, your Switch doesn't charge so make your dongle is charged as well

Umm, you do realize there is a hekate build that has a battery desync fix, right?

That is only needed if you use linux as much as I know. SX OS does not cause any issues with the battery

Sorry I tried, I plugged the charger and hold the power button for over 15 seconds, it no any change? how to get out the crm and how to charge dongle？

The charger that was included with the SX PRO package

 

[chrisrlink]

fyi it's recommended if you auto rcm'd your switch to dock it and put it into sleep mode and not turn it off/reboot unless absolutly necessary (ex FW update ect or modding your SD card adding/removing files also copy you License files to your PC (I assume you have one) incase your upgrading your Micro SDXC card

Did you mean I connect power to dongle charger (short black cable) to dongle to charge dongle, should I plug dongle to my switch to charge switch or plug swich charger to switch then hold button for 15 mins
Did it show sth.? how could I know switch start to charge?

Enter RCM and inject the payload. Hopefully you have enough juice for that.
If you see the little red battery in the corner then you are good to go. Just leave it plugged in to a charge source.
If this doesn't work there is more than enough information in older threads than yours, this has all been dealt with already.
Use the search.

PLUG IT IN AND LEAVE IT. The more you unplug it and fuck with it the longer it will take.

The switch will charge in RCM just very very slowly. So wait a bit and you will have enough juice to boot a payload and charge it normally.

Just disable auto RCM and charge it.
You can't just inject payload and boot to charge it, if you don't have battery left, your switch will turn off when disconnected from the PC.

I had this problem one time and recovered my Switch back with this solution.

Switch don't charge normally in RCM, that's what the post you linked said.

I tell him to disable it.

Edit : I have seen OP use SX Pro, my bad.
OP, can you launch without auto RCM?

 

[darkcloud1234]

I disable autocrm
It is not good enough to start use

Patient: "Ow my arm hurts."
Doctor: "Just cut it off."

Non sequitur, your facts are uncoordinated.
The switch does charge in RCM just very slowly. ~200mA.
If he can't boot a payload, then he can't uninstall bricc.
If he has enough juice to boot a payload to uninstall it then he surely is in a state that he can charge it normally in Horizon or OS SX.

 

[Undi]

Now that you disabled auto RCM, charge it and wait some time, it will boot.
My case what not the same as your, but will end in the same maneer, charge it without auto RCM.

When I have the problem, I was able to lauch payload, but in the menu the battery was showing in a black screen, like OP.

I did what I say and it worked.
