Hardware [Help] Power button doesnt work?

[DellStock]

I have Atmosphere on my Switch, and the Power button doesnt work at all on my switch. To turn it on i have to plug it in the charger then take it out to wake it up.
To put it to sleep i have to hold the home button to put it to sleep. any help?

Latest version of Atmosphere, Switch version 8.1.0. No themes are installed either.

I had the same problem. after factory reseting my switch, it worked again.

How did you factory reset it? Any kind of HBL app?

 

[HantaShoef]

From the System Menu select Formatting Options.

Fyi you lose everything (savedata, account, etc) remove Rcm

 

[DellStock]

So it wont brick or anything?

Do you know the cause on why the power button did that..?
And do you mean remove AutoRCM before or its going to remove Auto and i have to short the pins again?

EDIT : Initialize console or Format microsd...

 

[HantaShoef]

Remove auto rcm. because it may causse issues.
It will not brick your console. just know if your switcj is banned you cant activate your account

Edit : Initialize console... never micro SD

any hope of restoring functionality to power button without factory reset
after Installed 9.0 it does not work in OS, it work in Hekatem or on chrach
does it have soething with autorcm or nogc
is it safe to reinstall 9.0 FW?

FIXED !!!
do not factory reset, just disable AutoRCM, boot into CFW, power works !
enable AutoRCM, power button works normally

I recently had this problem, I just removed the sd card to force a power off and then it worked again when booting with my jig, and worked inside the CFW as normal after that.

Sorry for the necro bump but this issue just hit me. how does one get the Switch to boot from the power off state when the power button doesn't work? Thanks!

No

The suggestions above, sadly, didn't help.
