black screen

[Yogesh]

I cannot boot the console now. Only black screen. It was ok before

did you charge the usb dongle until you see a green light before turning on the switch?

 

[Yogesh]

Green Light is OK. I was able to use the dongle and now the logo shows but there is minimum charge shown on the console. Looks like console has no power.

I have this too. All I did was follow the Quick Start instructions. Then I read the Manual when the Quick Start had missing info.

My switch is completely dead. The battery was at least half full and all of a sudden I got a black screen. Some time later there was a white nintendo logo and then I turned it off again.

I've tried power button for 12-15 seconds

I've tried putting it on the charger and then holding power button. Nothing seems to wake it up now.

Has this bricked my Switch???

p.s. what is this??

update - I tried that TegraRcmGUI option - without really knowing anything about what it does, but it worked with the payload from team xecutor. But.. this is the only way I can wake my switch from power off. So I asume that AutoRCM has screwed the unit and won't boot properly until I remove it. How can I do that when I can't boot to the menu?

Your console is not bricked.

You need to power the switch completely down and charge it up for an hour or more then try again.

If the pro dongle isn't working, use the Tegra RCM GUI and send payload from pc.

So is the payload from Team Xecutor correct? Since the switch is fully charged (I saw it when I payload-booted it) the only issue seems to be the boot. I can wake it via payload every time, I went to the power options and said power off - but that 's not really power off with autorcm installed is it? But nothing will make it boot without the payload injection from PC


update - fixed. So I saw on the manual that I can just use volume + while injecting the payload (not just while powering on) to get to the TX boot menu and from there I successfully removed AutoRCM. Now my switch boots fine PHEW!

Glad you got it sorted.

AutoRCM can cause quite a headache if you aren't sure exactly what's going on with it. It's just easier to keep AutoRCM off and use the jig/dongle when booting.

Also, if you need to load more games...is it easier to take off the SC card while the console is on?

If you remove the SD card while the console is on, it will force you to shut down.

I recommend shutting down first.

Right on, appreciate it.
