Well,it boot nicely, and also my battery info is now back to normal. I believe it just need a small re-calibration. Now I got a switch with 14 burnt fuses and my backup is 9.0.1 so that means I will need RCM to boot my OFW every time? What will happen if my autoRCM is off? Also, what if I update my OFW to latest?

Your fuse is burnt, 14 fuses expect 11.0.0/11.0.1. Well most likely it won't boot as the system will panic as too many fuses are burnt, but give it a try.

Maybe a strange question, but will I get a ban if I enter sysCFW and only do a update? Because I found if boot OFW and do update autoRCM will be disabled, I think because boot OFW will disable all the "bad" features,right?

And if update to 11.0.1 means I don't need autoRCM enabled all the time as the fuse match the system version correct?

Did you load via stock or CFW?
CFW to be clear.

Well if it is clean NAND you can try updating offically, and then make a NAND backup, afterward so you are back at 11.0.1. AutoRCM is to put the unit always in RCM mode, and it is to preserve fuse so it doesn't use Nintendo bootloader. Only good if someone has older NAND to restore to.
