Switch just died?

[pka4916]

I was running the FTP program in Home brew when it crashed and got a Nintendo error.
Now I can't for the life of me to boot the Switch at all.

Any way to revive it?
Even plugging in the charger doesn't bring anything up

Try holding in the power button for about 20 seconds?

Similar issue to op. Held power down for super long time. Any help is appreciated

you sure it is not in RCM mode? try to connect to computer with tegrarcmgui

[pka4916]

got it to work. I guess somehow it was in RCM mode, but I did NOT install that..
Somehow I was able to boot without the dongle etc and was in CFW after I used that FTP program that I got from the homebrew store.

I had to revive it by doing this
- remove SD Card
- plugin Dongle and power on.
- Error message with Boot.dat came up
- push the SD card in
- press power twice

I had autorcm on while playing. Connected to the computer but no signs of life. When you say tegrarcm do you mean the SX rcm menu?

Haven't solved mine yet. I'm sure it's not a hardware issue or it would've shut off immediately without freezing. Could be wrong though

Well, what could be the issue is your battery. Your system might of had a faulty battery and it fanily went. It can happen out of the blue and does happen for no reason at times. I am just takeing a wild guess on it thought. I hope my guess gives you a little bit of help.

connect your USB to switch and computer
download
https://github.com/eliboa/TegraRcmGUI
and see from the UI if you are in RCM mode
If it is , load the payload.bin or any other CFW bin file...

another way just leave it for few days until battery drained out...

Try to charge it again for 20 minutes+
