It's boring not having a Nintendo Switch, have a Nintendo Switch 2017 version but it won't work. It won't turn on, tried to insert the charger and press the power button for 12 seconds but it didn't work. Don't know what else to do.

Do you have autoRCM enabled? Connect it via usb to a PC and run TegraRcmGUI and see if it detects RCM. If not try the power button a few more times and see if it ever winds up detecting it.

If you never use CFW, this is probably not what's going on.

That plus when did you last use it? Because it sounds like you let it discharge completely. If so, you need to charge it for a while before booting it

Is it hacked, or not? If it isn't, we can eliminate autoRCM. That only leaves the option of battery being completely drained. Plug directly in the wall charger, not the dock. Do you see a battery icon on the top left corner? As suggested, leave it charging for a while and try again pressing the power button to see if the battery icon appears.
