Hi, probably the first time I'm posting here. It's already 3am and I feel rather hopeless.
I charged my 2017 hacked v1 Switch to 100% and tried to install a thing using Awoo Installer like usual. However, it didn't detect USB, it only charged the Switch, which was weird because it had always worked before. (Side note: I found out later that it was my cable. It can charge just fine but can't do anything data related. Found out by plugging it into my phone, charged, but didn't ask to connect to PC, meanwhile the other cable I have did).
So I thought maybe it was some sort of bug, maybe the driver got stuck and required a restart. So I restarted my PC and got no luck, then restarted my Switch (with AutoRCM on), no dice, but nothing unusual. Then I thought maybe I needed to power it off completely. Sure, AutoRCM was on, but I could just use my handy RCM Loader like always.
So I powered it off, plugged my RCM Loader in, turned it on, and... nothing. Just a black screen. I tried and tried again to no avail, I opened the Switch up to unplug the battery, nothing.
What I've tried:
-Holding the Power button for 12 seconds or much longer, then do the + and Power combination, with the jig and without the jig, with the RCM Loader and without. No luck.
-Holding both - and + then press Power, still nothing.
-Using Tegrarcmgui, my laptop still doesn't detect the Switch. No APX driver or anything. Installed the driver from Tegrarcmgui, still nothing. Zadig doesn't detect anything either.
Strange behavior from my RCM Loader: If I plug it into my Switch, it will become unresponsive, no light or anything when I press its button. The only way I've found to get it back to normal is to plug it into the type-C port of my laptop (it will charge as well).
I kinda suspect the type-C port on my Switch to be faulty. It's kinda wiggly, and that thing with Awoo Installer and Tegrarcmgui raises a red flag. However like I mentioned, the reason that Awoo Installer wasn't detecting my Switch was most likely because my cable was faulty, so what are the chances that both my cable and the type-C port became broken in one night?
I haven't tried connecting it to my android device yet because I don't have an adapter. I'll try to get one tomorrow and update you guys.
Any help at all is appreciated. Thank you all.
P/s: I'm just leaving it to charge overnight for now. Hoping for good news tomorrow. I'll try to get some rest as it is very late now.
Update: Let it charge night, did nothing. I don't even know if the Switch is alive or not. Is there anyway to know without connecting it to PC? The RCM Loader is still being weird.
Update 2: I removed nand from the board and powered it on, still nothing.
