Hardware Switch will not turn on

[Loneoblivion]

Hey all,

First things first. I have a jig and can get into RCM 100% of the time. Also, I am 99.9% sure it isn't currently in RCM and I do have autoRCM disabled unless it just magically turned on. Here is where it gets good (not really...) I know that I screwed up so no need to tell me that, but I upgraded my FW through Nintendo and then downgraded with Choi... BUT I always booted into RCM and loaded with Hekate and everything was fine for a couple of day . Last I used it I made sure I powered off my switch and the next time i went to use it, I had my jig in and held the vol up and hit the power button and nothing. Now, my switch wont turn on. Tegra isnt detecting a RCM device. I have more exploitable switches and again, I know my mistake, but I would like to know if my switch is screwed, or if there is a possible solution.

If you left it in RCM, the battery might have died. Leave it charging for an hour or so and try entering RCM again.

Leave it plugged into the AC charger for an hour and try again. Also, try holding power button for 15 seconds, rebooting PC and trying again. One other thing I can think of is remove any games from the gamecard slot

Like the boys said above charge it. for several hours, do a hold of power button for 20 secs before charging and send hekate when u boot

If it goes flat in RCM it takes around 20 minutes to charge enough to boot. You don't need to leave it for hours.

Had it charging for quite some time. Still not turning on/ being recognized by Tegra as being in RCM. Tried removing my game card and same. Then restarted my computer and still the same thing.

Did you hard reboot the switch?

 

[Magnus Hydra]

Try hard booting it without the sd card, game and joycons.

 

[Loneoblivion]

Hard booting being holding the power button for like 20 seconds?

Should I take out the jig too? Just do the power butto . By worry would be it somehow working and then booting into 9.0.1 with 12 fuses burnt and then it doing some stuff

EDIT: Tried both and still nothing. Not booting nor being recognized by Tegra as in RCM

If you have a nand back up you might need to rewrite it using hardware.

I have backups of everything.
