Hello!
I have a Switch v1 stuck at the Switch Logo after installing the SX Core chip.
The solder is fine but it wont pass after the logo. All it was done on the console was an emunand creation.
It could be the dreaded wifi chip failing or a corrupted NAND, right?
Is there any way I could quickly rule one of them out?
Any tip is welcome!
Thanks!

Check your boot.dat and SXOS.bin file, since it boot correctly problem isn't the Chip. Why you installed SX core when you could have went with a Trinket M0.

I've installed many trinket and RCM-X86 before. This one is a patched v1... The serial is XAJ7005465 :/

What do you mean by SXOS.bin file?

He means the payload.bin

Is it possible to load android through TX SX Boot menu? If so you can check the wifi chip.

Important message :

Those that are having 'stuck on joycon logo' issues after installing their sx core, a solution seems to have been found theres attached this close-up corner of the erista motherboard with the area you should check, this two parts can be easy damaged when removing the nvidia metal shield and replacing it back. - EDIT: -- The Mariko motherboard, has similar two caps in that same area as highlighted in the above erista photo.

On some Switches the hardest part of the SX Core install is removing the spreader LOL.

Did one the other day and the heat shield popped right off after getting under one corner. Other ones have been pretty tight and a pain.

when i tried to learn to solder first tried old electronic boards, obviously just went to maplins got any old soldering iron and made a mess. better to practice on non-working shit before your prized console. its good to be gung-ho but know your limits.

So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
     +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds

    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
