Hey yall smarter than me! Quick question (hopefully.)
Not my first rodeo installing one of these hwfly chips, everything was going fine but heres the synopsis now.
SP2 sparks, smokes, then gets red hot. The console still boots to hekate, everything works, but obviously this is not ideal. Is this a matter of my soldering? In the photo I was wicking SP1 so thats why that looks so jank, but my SP2 I think looks fine? I just don't want to pose a switch killing risk or worse a fire risk. Any suggestions on what I could do to fix this?
--SOLVED--
Some solder leaked below the pad, then was shorting the connection. solved via continuity test
