Hey guys I was trying to install the instinct v6 mod chip and I ran into a few issues first the RST pad broke off resulting in me having to bridge from the via to the capacitor it was connecting to and then to B point on the chip. The switch is not booting the screen remains black and I’m getting a flashing light pattern which I can’t identify what error codes they correspond to as there very little documentation on the instinct v6 mod chip. Attached are images of my connections, I made sure the RST connection was proper and it’s not shorted to ground anywhere additionally I triple checked all my connections and I’m getting the proper diode readings. First time I tried booting my CLK was shorting to a ground anchor next to it, it no longer is but could this have ruined my board ? I don’t know how to proceed I’ve tried everything. Does anyone have the proper diode readings for these mod chips? Also is there an alternative connection to the RST point instead of the via that’s right next to that pad , there’s gotta be one elsewhere right ? Another question does every single component have to connected to the board for it to boot up? Like fans, side controller connections, antennas OLED screen etc. i will reward those who lead me in the right direction any input and help is appreciated

I saw somewhere that the boards are of very poor quality and its EXTREMELY easy to short to the ground plain next to the points on the mod chip. unfortunately Im not sure of the best way to trouble shoot this. I kinda wish people would get the word out that these boards are kind of shit and it offers no appreciable advantage to the V5s when you lose the combined knowledge base of previous versions.

Wish I would have known that before, I’m close to calling quits I’m sad I ruined my OLED but I learned my lesson
