Hello all.
I've got a V1 Switch that I jailbroke myself way back when, and used it for years, updating to the latest firmware, Atmosphere and Hekate when needed. Using the jig and the PC to push the payload.
My step son was using the Switch for a bit and let the battery die instead of keeping it charged and in sleep mode like I always did.
Once the system was charged, I tried pushing the payload and it no longer worked. I tried multiple cables (yes, data) and multiple PCs. Switch just does not react. It can and will boot up normally, but will not start any of the installed games, as it wasn't booted into Atmosphere or Hekate.
Long before this, I'd read someone here saying that the USB-C can get damaged by different cables using various amounts of electricity, causing the system to no longer take a payload, but it still charges and works on the dock. I am very ignorant in this area, so if that sounds like a plausibility, please let me know. If there's any documentation on that, please direct me towards it.
I've contacted a few local modders who are willing to do a hard mod on the system, but I'd really like to fix it myself if I could, but I'm not sure exactly what the problem is or how to go about fixing it.
Next up I plan to clean that port and attempt to push the payload again. Any other advice or things I should try before going to the modders? Thanks in advance.
