This video shows the repair of a Nintendo Switch console which has had a very unfortunate experience off the back of a misdiagnosis of a no power fault - in the end the console was in AutoRCM mode - a mode which is entered when people attempt to 'jailbreak' their Switch consoles.
Here we show how we spotted the issue and ultimately recovered the Switch to get it back into a usable state once more.
