so I downgraded my switch to 19.01 and it was on 20.1.1 I downgraded because virtual cards weren't letting me access games I wanted to when I downgraded I tryed to load into my switch but it kept giving me a error message so I went to Hekate and chose the option to launch into the original system or non-jailbroken but after I pressed it my screen went black and now it wont respond it wont turn on I've tried everything like button combination to try and turn it on but still it wont turn on. any help?
 
The "original system" firmware requires fuses to match. You should still be able to access hekate. What does it do when you connect it to your PC and try to use TegraRcmGUI?

nothing since I don't have a rcm jig I use a little piece of tinfoil and it works. tegrarcmgui doesn't pickup anything even if done all correctly so I dont now what to do
 
And you have tried maintenance mode? Press and hold Vol + and Vol - then press the power button but keep holding the volume buttons? If it doesn't work try holding to power button for 30 seconds to make sure its off and try again. Dead battery? Put it on the dock for a while and try again.

ive already tried all of that and when I put it on the dock it just flashes green for a sec then stops. I am considering replacing the battery but I'm trying to see if there's a fix before that

fuse mismatch shouldn't stop RCM from working or entering hekate. Try to do RCM again, i would try again, especially if it's tinfoil, you can't be fully sure it worked.
