Hacking Discussion RCM, it does not work anymore

[SwitchHack]

Sorry for my English!
However, I have always used RCM on my switch, without problems.
With the POWER + Volume UP button.

From today it does not work anymore.
I tried on another switch (the one I use to play online) and it works ...
what happened to my Switch, why do not you go into RCM mode?

Maybe your jig, or pins are wack

 

[jimmyj]

you probably broke your pins if you use a jig on another console and it works.

I use the JoyCon Tin Foil, it works on the other switch ...

I have not touched anything, I can not solve?

I tried to put another joy con right, and recognize it without problems.
I do not think they are the pins

tinfoil isn't going to work 100% of the time. Make sure the foil is in the right place and keep trying, eventually it will load

A piece of foil stuck in between?

hole Volum + and power
not power and volum+

...same thing

Well not so much, if it powers on before. But I'm sure he's doing it the correct way either way

 

[Thatcher]

Using tinfoil can cause flakes to break off and short other pins or stop the contact being made. This could be the cause of the problem, either that or the Joy Con rail pins are damaged.

If possible I would look at getting a jig and checking your pins.

Blow some compressed air into the rail and then try again.

AFAIK, the pin in question is not used by the joycon. So just because the joycon works, that doesn't necessarily mean the pin is fine.

This happened to me, had to unplug the internal emmc to get rcm mode to boot, load up briccmii, hotplug the emmc back in, and use briccmii to fix whatever was corrupted.

EDIT: My console would not power on at all and I was using autorcm. So if you can power on yours and get to OFW then my problem was different.
