My switch with cfw is not turning on anymore. I press the power on button and I see the nintendo, then that screen with the low battery icon in the left corner. I plugged it in and the screen with the low battery icon appears BUT this time the screen dosn't just appear and disappear as usual. Instead the screen just stay frozen. I think nothing of it but after a while I check on it and it still says low battery and wont turn on propely.

Whats going on?

And how can I fix it?

Are you using AutoRCM?
It's probably booting into RCM mode and draining your battery. You can try either one of those:
- Plug it into the dock, and wait several hours as the user above said; or
- Press and hold power button for 15 seconds, and try to recharge it (it might turn RCM off and allow a faster charging and power on)

Can anyone else help?

I misunderstood the issue. It's basically freezing after you try to boot into CFW, right?

Could you elaborate more on the issue? What CFW and payload are you using? It started to happen out of nowhere or just after a update? Do you have custom themes installed?

Edited (for clear understanding)

1) If you try to boot normally into OFW (without injecting payload) it also freezes?

2) How long have you been using CFW before the issue? It's the first time you're trying to boot into it?

3) When you say that you inject payload and nothing happens, it means you can't even access bootloader? (the menu with the options to activate RCM and Nand stuff)

4) Have you ever done a Nand backup?

It started to happen after you tried to update the CFW, or installed it for the first time from a clean nand?

Ok, see if you can enter Safe Mode, by doing this:

1) Completely turn off your switch.
2) Press and hold both Vol. Up and Vol. Down
3) Tap (do not hold) Power button, while you still hold Vol. Up and Vol. Down
4) Keep holding the Vol. buttons till you boot into the safe mode (which gives you options to format the system)

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
