Bridged the wrong pins and fried it

Which pins did you bridge? You might just be stuck in RCM mode. Try holding the power button for 30 seconds then turn it on again without the pins bridged.

Connect to your computer and open TegraRcmGui, if it says “RCM O.K.” Then inject a payload. If it says “NO RCM DEVICE DETECTED” then it could be one of two things:
1. You fried your Switch
2. It is stuck between RCM and Regular, and can be fixed with a hard reset, or by repeatedly holding the power button until TegraRcmGui says “RCM O.K.”

Edit: And please just buy a RCM Jig, they are so much simpler

Back in the days, when I saw how small those pins were, and no jig with me, i decided to mod my joycon instead of shoving a foreign object in there.
