Hello all, I'm in a bit of a predicament with one Switch V2, first one I tried to mod. To cut long story short, right capacitor (SP2) on CPU is gone and it's left pad is also gone (circled in the image below, not my image, one I found on the net). Right one is present.
Are both SP1 and SP2 connections necessary or it can work with only SP1?
Long story:
There was an attempt to install picofly in it, but as it can be seen didn't exactly succeeded... I tried scratching a bit on the place where left pad was and managed to get a bit copper, but there's really not much of it so I wasn't able to get solder to stick there.
Is it mandatory for both SP1 and SP2 to be present for picofly to work?
Attempt was made with RP2040-Zero board, flex cable for CPU (soldered to SP1 only, looked like there was OK contact with flexcable), and wires for spots around the board. When turned on picofly blinked it's code for EMMC init failure and switch booted normally. I rechecked wires, there were no shorts and there was continuity between test points on motherboard and picofly spots. To be sure I even tried one of my own RP2040-Zero boards, freshly flashed with fw2.73, swapped them but no change, EMMC Init failure...
I removed everything and cleaned it as much as I could and it still works (mostly, touch doesn't seem to work, joycons do...). Tried installing some demo games and left it to run for a bit while looping and no crashes or anything so at least it's not dead. Maybe touch will also work when I get new touch controller board.
I'm not sure if I could get something to stick and make contact to SP2 point. Maybe using conductive glue? So if both are required maybe it's better to simply fix what doesn't work and say it can't be modded.
