Hacking Question Help. half dead switch. Auto RCM, detected, payload injected, blank screen.

[TaiGBA]

So I’ve been running Atmosphere 0.7.1 just fine with auto rcm on. Putting it to sleep worked fine for a few days only using 10% battery while sleeping for 20-ish hours....So I left it for three days and it drained completely.

No problem, I though, I’ll just charge it overnight and insert the fusee-primary.bin payload again using my computer and Tegrarcmgui.

Seemed to work fine for a second: “auto rcm detected” > “payload inserted successfully” > switch screen turns on > then nothing, no text or loading atmosphere or anything.

So I tried again and the inserting payload dialogue/process took longer, but the same result...so I switched it back to the wall charger and let it stay in that screen-on state for a few hours. No change.

Charged it overnight again and tried holding the power button for 15 seconds before trying again, tried power+volume up, tried just volume up while inserting. No difference. Except now it takes a long time for the payload to insert.

If I get it working again I’ll probably take autorcm off, but I definitely need some help to get it working again, has anyone had this happen to them and knows the fix?

I have all my backups and everything if it comes to that (if I can even get a payload to load to use them).

Hey TaiGBA,
Try reinstalling Atmosphere again. Download latest Kosmos.

Battery drain should have no effect on the switch not working as you describe.

As was stated, update everything fresh. Almost sounds like the SD got corrupted, exFAT???

Try hekate 4.2 as an alternative payload if the atmosphere primary is giving you trouble .

Plug in to charge. Hold down the power button for 20 sec. Let sit for an hour. Then inject payload using a rcm jig. Had this problem about a week ago and this is how I got it back up.

Once you get the payload to launch. Plug the power back in and remove autorcm.

Didn't have the problem of the black screen. But if you remove autorcm and reboot it should throw you into stock firmware. If you get back into stock firmware it will mean it's your sd card that's the problem.

Thanks, I think that’s probably what happened. The my SD card might have died completely. It’s not showing up when attached to my computer or phone .

I’ll get back to everyone once I warranty it or get a new one.

That was it everyone. SD card was dead. Bought a new one and it’s fine. First time I’ve ever had a brand name one die on me.
Pic was the the one that died. Avoid maybe?

Thanks for the suggestions.
