Hardware My Switch Won't Turn on After Launching Payload!!

[Vertx]

Hi! I was installing retroarch and getting some roms, i connected my Switch onto my pc and launched fusee-primary payload to play them, the problem is my switch won't turn on, i tried pressing the power button 12 seconds and it didn't work, i wonder if i bricked my switch somehow.

Hold power for 15 seconds. Then hold power and + for two seconds it should then be in a RCM (with the jig if you need it if you're not AutoRCM) and re-send the payload. I highly doubt it's bricked.

Very unlikely to be "bricked" unless the emmc is corrupted.

OR

You have suffered "Ram Death" as I call it... (If this is the case, payloads will still launch... But everything will black screen and when you run memloader, you will get MTC_LOAD error (got 246400 bytes instead of 43XXXXXXXXXX)

But no. It won`t be dead I don`t think.

Tried it, nothing happens, Tegra won't detect RCM neither

So... What are my options then?

Did you install AutoRCM?

• If not, then holding down the power button for 15 seconds and then turning it on should allow the Switch to boot normally.
• If you did install AutoRCM, then holding down the power for 15 seconds and then plugging the Switch into your computer should allow it to boot into RCM.

What payload are you trying to load?

Could be different reasons. Possibly corruption on your sd card, problem with your usb type c cable, even problem with your computer. Try different usb ports or a different computer if you have one. Maybe even reformat your sd card.

It's also possible that it just needs to be charged. Try charging it for a few hours then retry. The more I think about it I think this may be most likely.

+1 for sd card corruption, are you seeing the cfw's boot image?

When in doubt push a payload that doesn't require any files like biskeydump to narrow the factors

The only indicator whether it is in rcm or not is through tegraRCMGUI

1. Insert cable and start tegra look for the RCM status
2. While inserted, hold power button for 10 sec or longer to be safe
3. Look for RCM satus
4. If nothing, tap power button once. Watch the RCm logo light up !

Best thing to do to test, is launch memloader from TegraRCMgui (any partition, SD emmc, boot0/1 doesnt matter)

If it launches without error, then Minerva training, thus RAM is fine. That narrows it down to SD card / firmware issue.

Ok, it was apparently my USB cable that was at fault, i just bought it so i didn't think that would be the problem, i just loaded the payload again once i got a new cable and it went back to normal, i should have checked before posting, thank you guys and sorry you had to waste your time on my dumb question,

 

[EmulateLife]

It wasn't a dumb question. I once had a similar issue and it turned out my computer usb ports had messed up and I had to reboot my laptop and repair my computer drive. If you don't know you don't know.

I need a little bit a help!! ok while im injecting the payload it tells me that its successfully injected the problem is that once the nintendo switch turn on the screen stays black and then starts to blink. can anyone tell me why?

Patched unit? Don't revive old thread by the way just create your own.

Ok thanks
