After I installed a rp2040 hwfly clone to my switch (mariko), my switch fails to start.
What I mean by 'fails to start' is that device's screen is not turning on at all, no initial fan spin, and no response to any input.
At first I thought the modchip was bad, so I removed everything and tried to boot without the modchip. It still couldnt start.
For now, I just reassembled everything back, including modchip, and closed the cover, just to prevent unwanted damage while storing.
What I tried:
1. power button pressing for 20s - no response
2. connecting to the dock - the dock started to make ticking sound right after the device is connected. while ticking, power led blinks rapidly as well, and the device still was not able to start.
3. connecting usb-c power directly to the device - small ticking sound comes from fan ducts. device fails to start.
I am not electronics expert, so I couldnt get these all well, but according to this link, there could some short circuit happend while I was soldering.
The link:
Nintendo Switch not turning on/charging after sitting for almost a year. I’ve tried resets, power cycling, and even replaced the battery. All I get is a faint “ticking” sound from the speakers. Any ideas? : r/consolerepair -
Anyone knows about this symptom? and what can I do next?
