Hey guys!
I'm relatively new in the Switch "Hacking-Scene" but already got quite a good experience with hacking other Nintendo consoles (DS, 3DS, Wii).
So a week or two ago I manually downgraded my Switch to 6.0 in order to get CFW running again (I acidentally upgraded to 7.0). A few days later I realized that some of the games I tried to install needed at least version 6.2 to run, so I manually upgraded my system. I did everything the tutorial (the sdsetupDOTcom guide) but the CFW wouldn't boot up... I checked everything I did but it was all done correctly. Now my switch won't turn on anymore - not even into RCM. Before you think I didn't charge it or something like that, I left my Switch charging with the official charger the whole night. I also got a complete backup of the switch but I don't think it's going to be very useful without hekate/RCM....
Is there anything I can do to rescue my system or can I throw it in the trash?
Thanks in advance!

When you connect to PC does it say the switch is connected?

Press power button for 20 seconds. Turn it on again. Plug it to your computer.

I sincerely hope you succeed, my friend.

Just created an account to say that you also save me! I was panicking here.
Thanks so much.
