Mod failure with picofly Switch Oled, help! (Rolling back black Screen)

[NetYaroze]

Hey everyone, I'm here sad looking for help. I spent the whole afternoon following the guides on the forum step by step, I spent an avalanche of money to buy everything needed to use picofly. I didn't have much difficulty soldering, the last thing I did before realizing that maybe I'm doing something wrong, is solder the flex cable on the processor. For some reason I was not able to weld the points correctly and literally panicked I removed the flex cable, however I left the dat 0 welded in the memory of my console. I removed everything that has nothing to do with picofly except dat 0 . Now if I turn on the console I get a black screen, no Nintendo writing but I feel that the processor heats up. I'm really terrified, I don't know what to do. I checked that I connected all the cables on the motherboard and they are all plugged in. Is it too late to think my console still works? Do we have any advice?

Thanks

You need to check for bridges across any components surrounding the solder points for the picofly mod. Clean up any bridges with a bit of flux and a desoldering braid/wick. I had a similar issue that came from a bridge between a couple of capacitors that were used for 3.3V and GND on my V1 patched console.

Hi, thanks for replying, I really appreciate it! I've tried using the desoldering wick to remove the solder, but it won't stick on it. I also used the flux, but without success… what am I doing wrong?

Most likely not enough heat transferred into the wick. I keep mine around 400 degrees (celsius) with a larger tip when wicking.

Just don't let it sit on a point for too long or you will make things even worse.

Check CMD resistor.

I fixed it and the console starts normally! there was a jumper on a resistor in the processor, with a lot of patience I managed to remove it and now the console works normally. My goodness!

Next step is find someone to modify my console

This thing just isn't for me

Soldering Picofly to a OLED ain't easy considering how small the components are.

Glad to hear you were able to resolve the issue and return to stock functionality with your Switch. Cheers!
