Hacked Switch won't detect RCM

[weefsat]

Hey! I have a hacked switch I didn't use for a while. I was running an old version of Kosmos on it (and if I remember correctly it also has autoRCM enabled).

I wanted to play it and it didn't turn on, so I assumed it ran out of power at some point and went to my PC to load a payload onto it with TegraRCMGUI.

The RCM connected, I could load the test payload succesfully, then I loaded hekate 5.0.0 (the old one I had on my PC from the time I used Kosmos) some atmosphere and Kosmos logos diplayed and it shut down. I tried again and the same thing happened. I disconnected the USB and tried the process again from start and now I can't even make the RCM connection anymore, though my PC recognizes that a Switch is connected. Anyone have any idea what's going on and what I should do?


Edit: I managed to get back into RCM by holding the power off button for 30 seconds, but I still can't get into CFW, I jsut get logo displays and then black screen.

Thank you for your time and help guys, I appreciate it!

Connect the charger, after 5 min hold power down for 15 sec, then let it charge for a couple of hours, then try again

Try taking out the sd card and blowing on it and/or just reinserting it. Sometimes the payload will run but it won't have anything TO run because the system isn't recognizing the card.

How is the SD card formatted?

I had this happen once, just charge it for a while, send the payload via Tegrarcm then instantly disconnect from PC and connect to an official charger. You will need to do this quickly I may add.

It will now charge as expected, I spent days with this problem and that was the only solution that worked.

I know, but I'm serious when I say that the SD card not detecting can be an issue and that (even if you don't blow, just re-seating it) can fix it
