Hacking Switch V1 Modded, cant go to RCM Mode, Black Screen

ArtsomePasta · May 7, 2024

So I was playing my game and it was around 21% charging so I put my switch on charge and it just asked me to remove my joycons and use them like that for some reason, this issue actually happened before too and back then it wasnt like this but I did get stuck in black screen and no response no matter what I did. Last time, I after a while plugged it into my PC and I got a response and I just injected the Payload with RCMTegraUI and it worked great for a few weeks and today it has happened again but this time, there is no response I have tried

Holding the power button for 15 seconds

Holding the Volume +/Volume - and both combined as well for 15 seconds still not detected by RCM

Letting it stay for an hour or two

Is my switch forever dead or is there a way to fix it?

I just take a wild guess it's the M92 "fuse"

I'm sorry, I actually bought it pre-jailbroken so I have no idea what this means but it's an older one that could be patched
I can ask the person I bought it from

M92 is part of charging circuit and it can die randomly at any time. It also blows up if the charge is wrong from the USB-C, why people jokely call it the "M92" fuse instead of the proper fuses on the board.

I believe this might have what happened then because my charger did get pulled at that moment too, Is there a solution for this?
Are there any software related things I can try before going to hardware fixes?

Sadly you need someone with knowledge of soldering to exchange the m92. It seems pretty easy to change for those with knowledge since its a fairly common chip as well.

Okay, thanks a lot, is there a way to check if it's actually the M92 and not some software issue?

This screams hardware issue. I can't say its the M92 but there are ways to check it by opening up and meassure certain points on the motherboard.

EDIT: If you can open it up, take out the battery and plugin the charger and see if it starts.
