Hi, I recently updated to switch firmware 17 after not using my modded switch for a while. I didn't expect much, but it didn't turn on after the update automatically. I then tried to power it on, and it just displayed the first Nintendo logo (not the Nintendo Switch), and the screen went black. I am pretty sure it didn't turn completely off because to see the logo again (turn it on), I have to hold the power button to force shut it down. I tried updating the atmosphere, but I can't enter RCM no matter what I do. While holding Power and + with the RCM jig, I see the logo, which goes black every time. Nintendo Switch's built-in recovery does not work either; I see the first Nintendo logo and a black screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

RCM should always work.. at least it being recognized by your PC or phone.
- If it is being recognized by your PC and does not run after you push the payload, you should update the payload.
- Once Atmosphere, Fusee, and Hekate are updated and you still cannot boot the issue is likely either a custom sysmodule has not been updated (such as MissionControl) or your loader.kip if you do custom clock speeds.

I mainly use TegraRcmGUI with drivers installed, and it doesn't even detect a switch, let alone RCM. I have an RCM jig in the side, even when I hold power, and (+) it still shows the first Nintendo logo and does not go into rcm. I updated atmosphere in the SD, but I don't think that's the issue as it wont even go into RCM.

Check that JIG is shorting pins 1 and 10 on the right rail. If you see the nintendo logo you are doing something wrong. In RCM, the screen remains black, even without the sd card.
