Ok, I know that this is probably spelled out somewhere else but if I can save someone a little panic I feel that it's worth it.
SX isn't kidding about the charging of the dongle. If it goes dead (after approx. 5 uses) and you are in auto RCM, the switch will literally NOT power up. I tried holding the power button for 20 seconds, nothing. It wasn't until I charged the dongle for 15 minutes that it worked. When I did that and plugged it into the switch, it came on immediately.
TL;DR - if your switch won't turn on and you are in auto RCM, charge the dongle for 15 min and plug it back into the switch.
