Alright guys, your boy is an idiot. I modded my switch a year ago and so much has changed since then. I have been busy with nursing school and have not kept up with all the changes. Today I decided I would update my firmware/re jailbreak and I don't know what I did, but now I can't get switch to boot. I would greatly appreciate any insight (other than I am an idiot lol).

  1. Started with hekate 5.0.2, firmware was on 8.1.0, Atmosphere
  2. I originally JB with a NS-atmosphere dongle
  3. I figured the first step was to update hekate to 5.5.8 so I downloaded the bin files. I used the NS-Atmosphere Programmer software to flash the dongle and connected the dongle into the switch. I applied the rcm jig , turned on the dongle, and held up and power button. Nothing happened.
  4. I can tell that the switch powers on because when I connect it to computer, the computer sees the device connected.
  5. I then ran TegramRCMGUI and tried to inject the hekate 5.5.8 payload directly through USB cable from there. The Tegram software sees the switch in RCM mode but still switch will not boot. Screen remains black
  6. Help : /
