Whenever I leave my switch idle for more than a few weeks it completely shuts down (even when plugged in) and becomes totally unresponsive. I'm able to start it again by booting into RCM and re-injecting the payload, but I was wondering if anyone had an explanation and/or possible solution on why this happens. Thank you.

you might need to take the back plate off your switch in order to get to the battery and unplug the battery for at least 30 seconds then plug it back and test if it starts charging after that. This has worked for me in other occasions

Do you have AutoRCM enabled?
