The battery should still charge while in RCM mode, but it won't have the software necessary for fast-charging.
I would first, fully turn off the switch or enter into RCM and put your switch on the charger... Eventually, the battery will charge enough and you can connect the Switch to a PC. You can use the TegraGUI app to push a payload and wake up the switch without your dongle.

Also, go find your dongle!

Best way is to use the official charger and let it charge for a couple hours. At that point you should be able to get into RCM and boot a payload. You will most likely have to use your computer if you have not found your dongle.

Hello.I have the same problem.Switch died while in sleep mode.Switch doesn't show any indication of it charging both while docked or connected directly.I still have the dongle.

Btw I'm very new to all this.Bought a used preinstalled modded switch and been using it for less than 2 months.Normally it's kept in dock but this time it is stored in a case and I can't get to it due to lockdown.
