Entering RCM
Section titled “Entering RCM”

To start, place your microSD card inside of your Switch, take off the right joycon and put the RCM JIG on the right rail and slide it all the way down.

If the Switch is on, turn it off and then power it back on while holding the Vol + button, this should result in just a black screen.

If you have a black screen, it means you’re in RCM mode and your Switch is ready to inject.

If, when injecting, nothing happens, your unit may be patched, check possibly patched.
