Okay hi, like the title says I suspect I might have bricked my console.
I was playing like normal, I set everything up at my parents place because I bought the nintendo used and I was going to stay there for quite a while so I thought why not mess around with it. I used almost a week to make sure everything was working and I played a few games on my now homebrewed switch.
Here comes the problem. I went back home, and connected it to the internet (I had safely put in a dns like some guides said and used tinfoil back home, so I wasn't that afraid of it), but apparently I forgot to put the dns settings in for the new internet and the system said it wanted to get an update for one of the games, and stupid as I was because I had forgotten I had connected to the internet I said yes, and then it said it wanted to restart afterwards. Now it won't turn on. Nada response. Only black screen. Can't turn it on, no response at all. How does a bricked console normally look? Anything you can recommend?
Edit:
Is there any way to confirm if it's bricked or not?
Tried leaving it in the recharger, like people recommended, for a couple of hours to no avail. The odds of it being bricked are quite high : /
So I messed around with my computer and discovered that my old usb key in the computer didn't work! Switched to a new usb port and it immediately discovered it in rcm.
Thank you so much for all your help and sorry for unnecessary the disturbance!
