So, I managed to jailbreak my switch with no problem, I cant remember who or what told me to do this but I put it into AutoRcm mode. I didn't have any problems with it but, I admit I didn't really understand the purpose of it, I just though it was something I had to do.Me being dumb I accidentally upgraded the system software and now my Switch wont turn on at all. Here is a list of things Ive tried to do to try to fix it

-Charged my Dongle (Didn't light up when I plugged it in)
-Plugged in the Ac adapter directly into my switch
-Tried a hard reset
-Tried to inject a payload using a PC,but I cant boot it into RCM mode
-Charging the Switch, which gave no indicator that it was charging

I have all my backups on a USB drive so I'm not worried about losing any important data or not being able to go back to my original firmware. Is my Switch unfix-able? If not is there anything else can do to try to get it to turn on?

Side note: My firmware was 8.1.0 and I accidentally updated it to firmware 10.0 (I think) I cant remember

That happend to me too, just try to put on RCM mode, connect on your usb, and hold All the buttons at once for 15s, it'll do the USB connection sound on your computer
Then just inject the payload

How are you booting into RCM?

    @SylverReZ, I dislike the kind of drm where you have to play single player games online all the time bc of some verification bs

    @Xdqwerty, Don't use games that have Easy Anti-Cheat as its been exploited many times.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    @SylverReZ, i think they have been doing that since late 2000s

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, I have a rom of the ds version of impossible mission
