Can you clarify? The dongle at the bottom of the switch, or the SXC dongle? I saw the SXC dongle green after i plugged it in after i powered it off the first time but then it didn't light up anymore after that, i don't remember exactly when the green light didn't show at the bottom after the first time. Sorry for my confusion! new to the scene, lolIt could be the dongle
Yes using the external payload option if i recallPlease tell me you made a backup of your NAND in some way, shape, or form...
It is extremely unlikely your Switch is damaged. Atleast from what you told us so far.
If nothing else works, try this: Open up your Switch and disconnect then reconnect the battery
Yesdid you installed AutoRCM?
You can try restoring boot0/boot1 and see if that does anything. If that doesn't work, you can risk losing all your save data by restoring the raw eMMC. Lastly, you can go for json's suggestion and play around with the battery.Yes using the external payload option if i recall

theres ur problem, you need to inject a payload in autorcmPerfect thank you, i'll try that in the morning if nothing happens or it doesn't randomly catch on fire lol. Sounds like it could be a possible fix

are these intructions anywhere? I just followed the SXC tutorial on their website. was working fine since thursday. Been playing lots of gamestheres ur problem, you need to inject a payload in autorcm
Yea. I've only shut it down a couple times and just popped the dongle in there every time and it turned right back on. If i recall even without it my switch would turn on and i'd get the "Nintendo" screen. I'm getting nothing now.You need to inject a payload every time you turn it back on
you just have to inject a payload after you press power
If you did auto RCM then it wouldn't turn on if you weren't using the dongle
if it dies in autorcm then you need a new battery or a way to charge the battery externally
Auto RCM makes it so you need to send a payload to start it up. If your dongle has gone flat, it isn't going to send the payload to start it up.
Get a USB to C cord and send a payload from a PC

No
My Switch dies in RCM constantly, you just have to charge it for a long time to get it enough power to boot
You don't need a new battery
i put in a support ticket with the SX Pro team. I will see what they say. Appreciate all the help and all of your time. It means a lot.When i plug the dongle into the usb it came with it lights up and is recognized on my computer. that kind of tells me it's not the dongle at this point. How do i send the payload if the switch is in a completely dead state can i do it from the computer thru the dongle to the switch?

Milenko, my last question to you would be should buy one just to try it? My switch appears to be completely dead. I'm sure those adapters are cheap, is it worth a shot? If not, i can just wait to see what SX team says. I'd also have to do some research on how to send it from my computer.
Charge your dongle with the micro usb port for 5 seconds, hold power for 12 seconds on switch, press power button, insert dongle.Gotcha. Maybe it is the dongle then.
lol appreciate your time none the less. time to have some drinks now without a dead switch on my mind.Charge your dongle with the micro usb port for 5 seconds, hold power for 12 seconds on switch, press power button, insert dongle.

Nevermind you solved your problem. I'm late to the party I guess.
