Homebrew why is switch bricked

[martyn2015]

my switch is bricked
wont load up after restore from backup
i got rawbin 30gib
boot 0
boot 1
i used hekate 5.5.4
says done when restore but cant get in to switch ofw
goes back and white writing
i when backup old switch rawbin ver would be 5 or 6 ofw
my burnt fuse is 14 so its 11.0
seems going in circles

The firmware of your backup is lower than your fuse count so you cannot normally boot up the console because the fuses do not match the firmware. The only way to bypass this is to manually boot into RCM since RCM is triggered before the fuse check.

How do I manually boot into RCM, isnt that what i was doing with hekate 5.5.4 from laptop

It is not bricked. [picks up a real brick and [accidently] hurls it on the Switch] Now it's Bricked.
