I have SX OS and I tried updating my Switch using Choidujour to the latest firmware. After selecting Reboot Now, it flashed the SX OS logo and then the screen went black. My Switch is 100% charged. I tried to put the SX OS dongle in the Switch but it doesn't light up anymore. I tried to charge the dongle and still can't get it to light up or turn on the Switch. What to do?

Ok so I got the Switch to boot it somehow. I held the power button for 20 seconds and reinserted the SX dongle and all of a sudden it booted up. But why wouldn't the dongle boot up until I held the power button for a while? This is so weird. What is the best way to update the official FW of the Switch without Choidujour on SX OS? It seems Choidujour is troubling lately

Daybreak, using Atmosphere. It works in a similar way to the official way of updating, and has failsafes if something goes wrong.

Instead of ChoiDujour, you could try using ChoiDujourNX. ChoiDujour is quite outdated and doesn't support any firmware past 6.2
