Hacking switch not booting after installing auto rcm through rei nand toolkit

[carizard]

Hi I am having an issue where my switch does not boot after installing auto rcm, when I plug it in to a computerI get a this device malfunctioned message and I have no idea what to do, i have made sure it is not the cable and made sure that the issue is not the computer as I have tested it on another computer at this point I have no Idea what to do at this point, any idea how to fix this?

if you got an android phone , you should get an OTG cable and push your payload through your phone and try.

unlikely to fix it, but have you tried holding the powerbutton for 15 seconds to make sure the switch is actually turned off?

inserting the usb cable should then boot the system into rcm (due to autorcm) and let it receive a payload.

saddly neither of these two seem to work

battery probably died during RCM , try to keep it on charge for few hours then push your payload again , switch tends to charge slowly if its been left on RCM.

is it normal to say this device could not be recognised if it has no power?

well if it doesn't even bootup ,that should be the case yes, your pc shouldn't even recognize it.

maybe some of the things mentioned here could help in case the battery really ran out on you

I cant send a payload as the pc wont recognise the switch

well that could or could not be caused by actual empty battery. charging during rcm is so slow that if the battery really was empty, it wouldn't power on even if a charger was connected or it was charged through the pc port.

try something like charging the switch for 30 minutes, preparing payload pushing to the point where you just have to insert the cable and check if you get the chance to sent the payload now. if so, back in the dock as fast as possible.
