Hardware Help, my switch won't turn on.

[son300]

I'm using SX OS Pro and wanted to put some games on the MicroSD card. The Switch turned off (in order to prevent data loss or something) and won't turn on since then.

I tried to turn it on using the dongle and the jig that came in the SX OS Pro kit.
The dongle somehow doesn't turn on (it doesn't light up anymore).

I then tried to inject the payload using TegraRCMGui. It said the payload was injected succesfully but the display stays black...

Anyone having any idea what to do?

auto RCM on?

 

[son300]

Yes, autoRCM is currently installed. But I don't know how to remove it as the Switch won't turn on...

do not use auto RCM no more,leave your switch on sleep mode.
unplug sx pro stick first
hold power button for 10 seconds and try to connect to pc,make sure you have tegra rcm running b4 plug it to pc.

Plug it into the wall charger and leave it for 6-12 hours. Despite the contrary, I have it on good grounds that it will still receive enough charge to power back on, it's just that it charges at an incredibly slow and low rate.

The Switch was at 80% battery though, does it go down so fast when turning off?

OK! So I just hold the power button for 10 seconds and don't turn it back on when connecting to the PC? Do I need to put the jig?

it wont turn on,auto rcm is on,dont forget that.
before you send the payload using tegra hold + and xecuter boot menu will appear,go to options and turn auto rcm off.

Use a different cable or PC to send the payload via TegraRCMGui. Use the SX payload then first thing, turn off Auto RCM !

The dongle is probably dead. This same thing happen to me. I’m now getting a replacement dongle sent to me.

When on AutoRCM, the unit drains battery super fast. So yes leave it plugged in for several hours to charge a bit. Make sure your drivers are installed on your PC.

Thank you for explaining. Sadly the Xecuter menu doesn't appear. I'll probably charge it for a few hours first now.

Ah ok, you contacted Xecuter directly for a replacement dongle?

Thanks for the help.

No there no help. Contact your seller. Mine was SwitchSX

So I charged my Switch for the last 6 hours. It gets recognized by the PC when connected with a USB C cable.

I held the power button for 10 sec, connected it to the PC and held '+' on the Switch while injecting the payload.

Tegra says the payload was injected but the Switch's display stays black.
Anything I forgot to do?

Copy a fresh copy of boot.dat and try booting again

Sure, I'll try. Do I use the jig for this?

I downloaded the boot.dat from the Xecuter page. Somehow I can't get it to work.
The payload was injected though.

 

[magico29]

You dont need to use the jig
Your condole has auto rcm

Finally made it. Used FuseeGelee instead and it worked.

Thanks everyone for the help!
