OK, here is the situation.
Background: I have RCMLoader with Hakate. From that I boot into Atmosphere. I do NOT have autoRCM enabled. Normally I just try my very best never to let the switch die, and if I do, then I simply reboot into atmosphere via hekate on my RCMloader. My Switch would not charge, tried everything, so I sent it to a place in my Province that specializes in video game system repairs. They tried to replace the charging port.. no luck, so they replaced the two mother board chips responsible for charging.
My switch arrived back today, and it works perfectly, the normal legal way.
The only thing that is different is that I cannot get RCM loader to work. I power down, insert the jig, then (two different strategies):
1) have tried volume + and power, then insert RCMloader
2) have tried insert RCMloader then volume+ and power
Neither results in anything. Normally the RCMloader will power on and inject the payload. Now nothing happens.
To try to resolve things further, I tried the payload website via chrome, and it does not detect my switch.
My RMC loader is fully charged, and when I press the +button, it flashes blue (Hekate). I have also tried all the other payloads on the device. It's like the switch doesn't detect or power it.
I also tried pulling the pins on the jig out a bit, in case they are not connecting, also no go.
I ordered a new RCMloader and Jig already and am praying that fixes it.
Here is my question..... Did something about the repair make it so I can no longer boot into RCM? If my switch is working perfectly normal, aside from this.. is it my gear (RCM loader or Jig).
Thank you in advance for any advice or guidance you can offer me. I have been a long time reader of GBAtemp, but have never posted.
