Hardware Technician said my switch is bricked but I wanna make sure by asking here.

Bought my switch in 2017, hacked it with atmosphere CFW in 2018 and was working fine until yesterday. I left it (15%)charging via a samsung usb-c but later found out it wasn't on and my switch lost its battery. Until then I wasn't able to open it, TegraRcm isn't detecting it when I turn it on even after charging it overnight. I troubleshooted it with everything I can find in google with no luck. Took it to a repair shop and he said all the "IC" are working, the charging port is consuming voltage and battery has no issue. The problem he said was no display, it was a behaviour of a bricked device. Does anyone know a similar situation in which they recovered a supposed "bricked" switch? I'll probably leave it charging for a long while in hopes that it will magically turn on someday

TLDR: Can't turn on switch, TegraRcm not detecting, all IC and battery are working but no display.
Update: My switch wasn't bricked. When I got it back from tech guy it was probably bricked so I went home all sad. Tried a last ditch effort and I remembered the front usb ports of my PC don't work well with data transfer so I tried the back and voila TegraRcm turned green! I'm glad I didn't believe that guy, he seemed not to know much about the switch hacking scene.

I doubt it just bricked out of thin air, sounds more like your battery died and now you have to slow charge it because you have AutoRCM. since you mentioned some Samsung usb-c charger, try charging it in the Dock

Yes I did try to charge it in the dock, at first it was turning green for 1 second but after troubleshooting it with what I find in google the dock won't light anymore. Repair guy was citing that CFW is more likely to brick your switch but I read somewhere that it was actually hard to brick your switch if you do things right?
He was also citing several causes
-overheating gpu (room and switch was cool when I left it so I doubt it)
-shorted components (was working fine at 15% last i saw it)
-charger voltage malfunction (this one i think is most likely because it only happened when I used this new charger but the wall socket wasn't on so IDK anymore)

Plug it directly into the AC adaptor, not the dock. It'll take around 20 min to get to 1%

Leave it plugged in for several hours. It needs to trickle charge if it completely died. You should be able to see if RCM is detected. If you have Auto RCM turned out it will appear dead until a payload is injected.

CFW doesn't brick devices. People do.
