Hacking Question Can trying to Get into RCM mode cause your switch not to boot up

[Kafluke]

A broken digital clock is never right, though. Just kidding. I wanted to take the opportunity to ask you about any developments on your community guide for Switch. Is it still going to happen? I would totally understand if you abandoned the project, since I'm sure it's very time consuming to maintain such a guide and keep it relevant. What can I say, you just spoiled us too much with the Wii U guide.

Thanks for the kudos. Yes it is a lot of work and I started a new job a year ago that pretty much takes all my time. I've started it a couple of times but then things changed again. Maybe once things stabalize a bit.

Do not use aluminium foil. Buy a jig. It is easier to buy a $2-5 lump of plastic with a wee wire fed into it than a $300 device.

I can't imagine why it's considered "kosher" to cram a peice of foil in your 300 dollar console yet some users on here constantly recommend it.

Those users need to take a "electronics 101" class. The sheer volume of people having issues after doing so is par for the course.

You won't boot at all without a having something to load - if you're in RCM, all it will do is sit unless you have something.

Please skip the foil shit, at least try a paperclip if you're that impatient honestly.

There's a idiot on here who thinks its the best thing since slice bread, i try to reason that its not such a good idea but hes determined to keep giving the same method to everyone, i wont mention names but you probably already know who it is.. The tinfoil method may work, But fck that.

foil method is perfectly safe unless you are in severe alcohol withdrawal. stop trying to sell jigs and get a real job.

Naval gazing for the win.

I'm saving that pic, just in case. But seriously, don't bother trying, these people are never going to admit that foil is no less dangerous than a jig and that just because something CAN go wrong, it doesn't instantly mean it WILL go wrong. Hell plenty of things can go wrong with a jig too. Or with a paperclip. Or with a cable. Or with any other method
