Hacking Bricked Switch, TegraRcwGUI recognizes it

[daicon]

My switch appears to be bricked. No powering up when I press the power button (or holding it down for 15 seconds). Previous owner says no physical damage happened, just sat unused for a long time and the battery ran dry. He used Hekate with it and says TegrarcwGUI shows it works and sends the payload successfully it seems, but the screen doesnt turn on at all and otherwise it's completely dead it seems.

Any idea what I should do?

To be clear, if you send the latest version of Hekate (5.0.0), the screen doesn't show anything?

The screen doesnt react at all when sending, or when trying to turn it on normally

If the screen doesn't react at all, but Tegra says the payload was sent successfully after recognizing it was in RCM, then it could be a hardware issue with the screen/connection.

Try to turn it on normally and put your Switch in the dock lmao

If it shows up on your TV, it's a problem with the Switch's connection to its screen
