i restored my switch after accidentally updating the firmware to 6.2, and when I restored it turned off and never turned on again. Idk what is the problem, some people tell me it’s because it’s on autorcm but I honestly don’t know, the only sign of life that I see is that when I connect it to the dock it lights up for a second and turns back off, but that’s it, I can’t see any fix for this, if there isn’t any i would be willing to sell it if anyone want it for parts or something. I’ve heard that a person named @mattytrog migjt help me, if you see this matty, do you know a fix to this?

What happens when you connect your switch to your pc and run tegraRCMgui?

Gulp!

Right... What firmware was you on before?

You updated to 6.2? So was you on 6.1 or something?

The problem is you didn`t restore BOOT0/1

Fuses. You have burned too many fuses. Boot with Hekate and it will boot.

Try this:
Eject SD card and launch default configuration

or run CFW in your options if you have it

Hold down pwr for 12 seconds to hard power off. Try sending hekate.

Sorry but idk what you mean by default config, do you mean like no cafe?
OK... Lets rewind... Can you hold pwr for 12 seconds? This will hard-power the unit off.

If you then press power, you will go to RCM if you had autoRCM enabled

Can you send your payload? SX pro are you using?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

BTW I must say that 6.2.0 is currently the best firmware to be on. You have nothing to lose by being on 6.2.0.

If I was you, I`d stay on it.

Yeah, I did this when 6.2 was the worst to be on... that’s why i was desperate. Also I’m using the latest version of sx pro that is not beta. Idk the number but that’s what I know.

Good. Now, you need to get the 6.2.0 firmware and update using choidujourNX.

If you don`t, you will have to boot this way every time. Your fuses are burnt. So you have to use a boot that skips the fuse check.
Or update to 6.2.0
