So my switch has been running CFW on emunand since years and I enabled AutoRCM years ago. Never had problems with it, but a few months ago things started when i wanted to update athmosphere and hekate. It took many tries until tegrarcm finally recognized the switch and I could push the payload.Yesterday, ive had the same issue again. I wanted to update my CFW to 1.9.1 and update Hekate too.

When I turned the switch off, it took a really long time for tegrarcm to recognize it and i thought it was dead. I tried it again after a few hours and tegrarcm recognized it and i pushed the payload. Then in hekate I chose to disable autorcm because of this and tshut off the switch to boot to sysnand because I bought pokemon and want to play it online. But now when I try to turn the switch on again, it just stays black, nothing happens. But I dont think its in RCM because I disabled RCM and its not recognized by tegrarcm.

When I try to charge it, nothing happens. When I put it into the dock, the green light of the dock briefly flashes.

Did anybody encounter this issue already? My emummc is currently running 18.1.0 and my sysnand is way lower, don't know what its at.

Ive already tried booting it to maintenance mode, which doesn't work and holding the power button for 30 seconds+ etc...

I really don't know what I should try next. The switch was at 75% battery yesterday, maybe I could try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it? Or just let it sit until the battery is drained and then charge it again?

UPDATE: after trying around all morning and being unable to enter rcm with the foil jig, i now removed the joycons, then held the power button for 30 seconds then waited 5 seconds and then held it again for 5 seconds. and now the switch booted to sysnand

Let it stay in the charger for a while, if it's completely dead it can take a while for it to receive a charge.
Then follow the steps to enter RCM, nomatter if you have autoRCM or not. So jig ut up again and enter RCM to push a payload
