Hacking Switch not booting. After micro SD eject.

[1221cya]

Hi guys just installed XS Os on my switch a few days ago. Enabled autorcm as that's handy as. Don't have a dongle so been using my PC. I've Put a couple of backups on there too. Worked great up until today. I stupidly ejected the micro SD (to put another game on it) while it was on and in the menu. So it said turning off (as it does). With new game on memory card I tried to turn it on in rcm mode (no way of telling its in that mode) and connecting it to my pc. It doesn't recognise it at all. And doesn't react to any reset button combos. Any ideas on how to fix it? Disconnect battery?
Thanks in advance

Check your SD Card on PC directly to see if all files are there first, then;

You can use TegraRCMGui on PC when you connect Switch, the icon will turn GREEN if RCM is detected

Also to power off Hold Power for 12 seconds.. this will shut off your switch.. then try again as normal to boot using ur normal methods of pushing payload etc

try holding down the power button for like 15 seconds and the pressing it a second time.

I kept holding the power button repeatably until it worked. I watched on the web-based payload injector sites to see if APX appeared.

Your files could be corrupted

Overwrite boot.dat and license.dat with your backuped ones and retry.
If this didn’t help reformat your sd card

Betting the battery died. Just let it plugged in for a while and try again later. It will show up in windows device manager as an APX device listed under libusbk and nvidia device using lsusb command on linux. If it's there but the payload isnt working, the battery needs to charge. just let it plugged in on rcm mode for at least 30 minutes.

TegraRCMGui is the program I've been using. I tried another usb port an hour later and it worked...
So I assume it was that. Cheers for the input guys.
