Hardware Switch only has backlight and starts in RCM

[LordAdonis]

Hello,
I'm currently trying to fix a Nintendo Switch and found these problems.
If i try to power it on normally nothing happens.
If I connect it to my PC and try to inject Hekate it shows up backlight but nothing on the screen.
So what I think is, it has AutoRCM and a non-working display, but I'm not sure.
Is there any way to turn off AutoRCM without using Hekate on my Switch? Or does someone maybe know the issue?

Thank you in advance!

If it was on AutoRCM when you connect to like Tegrasmashgui it should says RCM ready, If it was a non working display then it is pretty much garbage to you unless you fix it.

Sorry, didnt explain it right.
It says "RCM Device detected".
And after inecting it says "Payload successfully injected" and the backlight turns on.

Sound like screen doesn't work, no display even though the unit turn on.

How long you own it? bought it as non working trying to repair it or was it working before?

Are you sure it's vulnerable to fusee gelee? If not, I guess it's a brick.

Sound like the backlight of the unit went out that why you don't see anything on screen, you can try going into a dark room with a flashlight looking at the screen to see if there is anything on screen with the hekate payload injected. The screen need to replaced as the backlight is glued on to the LCD.

did you try injecting fusse primary and loading directly to AMS without Hekate? Remember to use the right payload for the version of AMS you are using, cause it wont boot otherwise... Then put it on a dock and se if it gives a picture...

What do you mean with AMS? Sorry, I started to repair switches for one week now, still a lot to learn.

He mean you can probably use the switch in dock mode but you won't probably see anything on handheld mode.

Tried to put it in the dock. The green lamp blinked and nothing else happened.
Guess it happens cause it's in recovery mod and wouldn't show anything even if the screen worked.

Well he said Atmosphere CFW.

Well he said Atmosphere CFW.

Do you have a good guide how I do this?

AMS means atmosphere, its the CFW. When you use hekate to boot it will go to the hakate menu unless you have autopayload configured. The hakate menu won't give you a screen in dock mode, so if your switch is not giving an image in portable mode, you won't be able to boot to the OS. If you use a clean install of atmosphere OS, with its payload fusee-primary, it will boot directly to the OS, and give you an image in docked mode.

You should always read the instructions in the Github of the project, since for the switch, alot of things change and get old/broken fast with frequent updates to official firmware, custom firwares, and homebrew... So google atmosphere switch, and check out the latest release. But basicly you will delete old folders from your sd card, and paste the new ones to the SD root, then just run the payload por that specific release, and it should work fine...

Pretty simple just put the atmosphere file on the SD, then inject fusee-primary.bin.

I deleted whole SD card and placed the latest Atmosphere datas on it.
After that I placed the SD into my switch and connected to my computer.
I injected Fusee primary and it said succuesfully injected.
But nothing came, no backlight and nothing on docking station.
