Hi everyone,
I modded my OLED switch with the Instinct-NX V6 chip back when TotK came out. It worked as it should for months. After I finished the game I didn't touch the switch for a few months and now when I turn it on it boots straight to OFW with this light sequence on the chip:
flashing red (1 sec) > breathing purple > flashing yellow > breathing purple > flashing blue > boot to OFW

I opened it and inspected my solder points, and they all looked fine. I took diode readings and they are lower than what they should be:
3.3v = 0.363v
D = 0.494v
C = 0.880v
A = 0.460v
B = 0.419v

Any ideas? Is it the chip or the installation, or something else?
Thanks!

Did your SD card maybe get messed up?
The modchip needs the file and maybe an emuMMC image on the SD card.
I doubt it, I can see the files on the SD card and I didn't change anything. Also if it was the SD card shouldn't I get the no SD screen instead of booting to OFW? I'm going to try another SD card just in case. Thanks!

Sometimes readings can be deceiving. Culprit can be 3 things, D0, CPU flex, or simply a faulty modchip.

Yeah, I suspect the CPU flex as well. I'm going to order a new modchip as well just in case.

Did you manage to get it working again?


Here is a list of error codes I've compiled for the Instinct NX from sthetix's video.

INSTINCT NX ERRORS
FPGA errorBlinking red lights x 7-8 continuously for long time + then nothing (no OFW)
3.3v disconnectedNo signal + switch wont turn on
D point disconnectedPurple x 2 + Blinks white several times and boot to OFW
A point disconnectedPurple x 2 + Blinks white several times and boot to OFW
C point disconnectedBlinks purple for long time + red light blinking + OFW boot
B point disconnectedPurple x 2 + Blinks white several times and boot to OFW
CPU SP1 and SP2 disconnectedBlinks purple for long time + blue light 3 times + OFW boot



Looking back at sthetix's video - when the CPU cable is disconnected:
() at 27 minutes
flashing red (1 sec) > breathing purple > flashing yellow > breathing purple > flashing blue > boot to OFW

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
