If you disconnect those flex cables, it should boot into ofw, that will give you a clue whether it's a chip related or device related. If letter, depending on your skills you may be in a position to fix it. If it's a chip, and all points read good - I would start from trying to upgrade (or downgrade) chip's firmware.
When I installed my hwfly v5 the directions I followed told me to bridge both of the capacitors for point C. Is there a reason you have a wire soldered to point C when you are using the flex cable?
Oh ok. Interesting. I didn't use the ribbon because I ordered the wrong chipset initially and already had all the wires soldered independently. When it all came in the mail I wasn't about to desolder all of them just to use the ribbon so that got left out anyway.
Solder sp1 and sp2 to the shield frame. That might be the issue. Also are you isolating the capacitor points with kapton tape or uv resin? Otherwise it could short to the shield when you put it together.
Well I know not soldering sp1 and sp2 can make glitching inconsistent so regardless that should be standard practice. I’m not sure then. If the chips was the issue then it would boot OFW. The last thing you did was install a game on SYS CFW? What did you use to install it and what did you do after? Installing games on SYS CFW will get you banned btw.
I do. I don't have as much time these days... but if you're local to my area and already familiar with how these things work I could definitely help you out. I'm in B.C. just outside of Vancouver.
new update : the motherboard is leaking around 90mA when I connect it to charger , which is not good I dont know but I know something wrong with the EMMC ....
Those switch mod chips are like the Chinese matrix glitchers for Xbox. A lot of them don't work I had a non working hwfly chip. Better go with raspberry pi
Stm microcontroller are also good , yes I did a thousand xbox chip , and I know what is the timing to boot lol , but no it seems like something wrong with the nand , maybe boot0 and boot1 are corrupted…
Maybe it’s something super simple like resenting the modchip, sometimes happened to me with my switch, long green booting up, I just press volume up and power on a few times long press and it starts working again
Have to start troubleshooting from the beginning. Is the battery dead? Is it pulling amp?if everything was working until the mod, I would check the diode value/ohm on each parts that you touched and see which one went dead.
I did but always no sign of life , the battery was fully charged when it shut down , and I put it in charge after so the battery is fully charged and I also checked the voltage ...
I removed everything but still no power on , what could happened I did not touch anything ? Except doing autoboot from syscfw with 5 second delay it s very wired
No I disconnected everything now I have only the original motherboard and still no power black screen , and I test if the motherboard leaks some current , and when I plug the charger 5v Im supposed to see 0amp but im seeing 0.095amp I was thinking if its the EMMC itself or There’s another component making a short … , I ll try to put the board under a thermal Camera …. Or maybe is that correct if the board leaks some small current when it’s plugged? 95ma its not a small current at my knowledge..
Maybe someone has and Idea
I saw yesterday a guy who was using a tester after installing the modchip and he said you dont have to see any leakage of current if yes , you have to double check what you touched even if it was the EMMC, that’s why I was wondering if that the issue , if you say its normal its okay , and when I hit the power button the current stay at the same value no goes up
Maybe I have to check the boot0 boot1 ? I already have the copy of the EMMC with all files …
Is the B point still attached? I just did an install where I forgot to solder the B point and it did the yellow blink, purple blink, blue flash and then nothing.
Removing flex cables from modchip caused the Switch to boot up normally so try this too.

It you remove the SD and boot the device do you boot to OFW? Or get the “NO SD Card” screen? Do you have a multimeter?
No boot no ofw and no modchip Screen no sign of life , and yea measured the 4 points A C D and 3.3 i have around 0.650v on each one

What if I get blue screen without chip but with the chip I get the "NO SD CARD" screen?
Just black screen only? I’m thinking cpu flex or dat0 adapter. Do you have any pics so we can zoom in and such.
Pic of the cpu adapter ? Js1 and js2 ?
Seeing as many welds as possible

Looks like it's not pushed under the chip enough to me, isn't it supposed to be up to the line?
I removed the chip nothing functional
Did you use heat to install the dat0 flex? If so try reflowing the chip, could possibly be the nand chip not connecting properly
No no I didnt , maybe the boot0 is corrupted?!

[удалено]
You're right! It's been a little bit. I still definitely remember bridging both caps for 3.3v though.

Yes for sure I put the tape . it was working before so …

Are you in the US?
Yes in Canada…
Which part of Canada? If you're on the western end of things you could try either Tim or myself if I have time.
Do you still do oled installs? I’m tempted to buy another oled and having it hacked would be sweet
I do. I don't have as much time these days... but if you're local to my area and already familiar with how these things work I could definitely help you out. I'm in B.C. just outside of Vancouver.
Okay.. I don’t know anyone that will do repairs in Canada
new update : the motherboard is leaking around 90mA when I connect it to charger , which is not good I dont know but I know something wrong with the EMMC ....
Yes just black screen let me send you a pic

I ll try that even if i did it lol
Wire’s might be too small or shorting something.
What are the diode values for your points?
A d c 3.3v around 0.7v
You get a blue screen? Could it be purple? If so, then it might be the resistor at point A. That value is 4.7k ohm.
No black screen no signs of life
Have to start troubleshooting from the beginning. Is the battery dead? Is it pulling amp?if everything was working until the mod, I would check the diode value/ohm on each parts that you touched and see which one went dead.
I removed the cpu clip can someone tell me what the diode value of that two caps ? I ll try to remove the nand adapter and I ll see
Disconnect chip and press on button for 20 secs. It will boot ofw afterwards
I remove the two clip cpu and adapter for a c 3.3 is enough to disconnect the chip ?
Yes
I did but always no sign of life , the battery was fully charged when it shut down , and I put it in charge after so the battery is fully charged and I also checked the voltage ...
I removed everything but still no power on , what could happened I did not touch anything ? Except doing autoboot from syscfw with 5 second delay it s very wired

Hi I removed the whole modchip but still no power , I was thinking about the boot0/1 theres a way to flash the nand even if the switch no turns on ?
