Hacking The reply from Team Xecuter

[Amabo]

I sent my problem to Team Xecuter, I can't turn on my switch after used the Pro, They give me the reply

 

[NeoSlyde]

It worked?

 

[Milenko]

Isn't very clear exactly what you mean but can you load any payloads by PC? If so use Hekate and check your battery percentage

No, I can not turn it on

the dongle will not inject payload

Ok, I will do that,thanks

Not sure what the problem is. You've given us very little to work with. I'm guessing your Switch battery is totally drained. You may have to connect it to the charger for a while. Do you have another device that you could use to push a payload? See if that at least gets you the SX splash screen.

How about linking the video?

When GBATemp functions as better tech support than the company who made their own product.

I put mine on the switch cradle. Left it for a few mins, held power(while still docked) for 15 seconds, charged the SX dongle with my S9 phone. Waited an hour and pulled the switch out of the dock. Plugged in the dongle, sxos showed up, chucked it back in the dock and let it charge.

I then removed autorcm because currently it seems to cause more issues than it solves.

You just don't have battery in either the Switch or the Dongle

Dongle takes at most 30 seconds to charge
Switch, if it's drained, you'll need to charge it for a few hours (my friend said he charged for 6 hours) to get enough power to boot up the console in rcm

We need a stickied PSA thread about this. Powering off from Horizon does not actually power off when AutoRCM is enabled.

That would probably solve the OP's problem.

Wanted to make a thread about AutoRCM actually reducing the charge rate of the Switch when in RCM after CTCaer hooked up an ammeter to the Switch to test it out but I'm not too well versed in the other intricacies about AutoRCM to make the thread.

 

[Ferris1000]

Try to send the payload using your pc and hold vol+ if your switch is booting into the sx os boot screen wait a few minutes and leave it connected to your pc, because with AutoRCM your Switch will turn on into rcm even if you dont press the power button.

Sometimes that’s the solution and you’ll also know your switch is in rcm or it’s powered off.

Yeah, my bro borrowed my switch for his work commute to see if he should get one. When he went to turn it on it was drained, he was stressing. I'd read infinite posts on here so wasn't too bothered. But combining what a few people had said that solution worked.

Ok, here is the video

They probably saw it was a half a gig video and didn't even watch it

6 hours... The dongle doesn't even have a battery it uses capacitors and they don't take nearly as long to charge.

 

[djricekcn]

capacitor, or w/e regardless,. you still need to plug it in to charge it to get power to an extent

 

[ElConsolero]

Maybe, dumb question but did you copied the "boot.dat" to the root of your sd-card?

 

[qaz015393]

I had the same issue as you. I did a number of things. I quickly charged the pro dongle for a few seconds then I held the + bbutton and held it down while turning on the console to bring up the sx menu then I unpluged the dongle and plugged in my charger then selected the cfw. then I saw the console charging again once it booted. I noticed the console itself was died and with the autorcm enabled, it drained the console a bit so I disabled it (however I enabled it again bc I don't want to damage my pis with jig).
I hope it helps. the only issues I have is that the hbl (homebrew launcher) keeps giving me errors when I open it and emulators so I don't open it.
Oh and be careful when plugging in the micro usb, I actually cracked my dongle a bit when I used it (and still waiting to fix it by the end of the week)

 

[DocAmes1980]

Dongle is defective. The light should go green after a matter of seconds.
