A few back someone found that cmd resistor is broken even when not touch by anything during instalation.
From my exp : broken clk, dat0, rst will result in black sod.
broken cmd will result in purple sod.
Once i had blue sod, thats when i made a scratch on pcb traces near apu n ram when tried to cut the shield bridge.

Oh my God I can’t even begin to Thank you. I had an OLED yesterday that went blue screen of death and I for sure thought it was the flex cable and I just fixed it after seeing your comment. I had broken two traces.

Well, as I said, It had to be mosfet related (either that or some kind of witchcraft :D )
Glad you managed to get it up and running.

Good Lord. What has the world come to. Not even the intellectual capacity to use the correct value resistors. Mind boggling stuff. How do we smite this fool @lightninjay and who do you think it is?

I dunno about smite, but I messaged them on Etsy to correct them, so hopefully nobody dumb enough to pay that price for a picofly gets one, attempts an install, corrupts their eMMC, and then comes to cry about it here.

40 dollars literally will buy 10 of the new RP2040-Tiny board, and they don't require any prep...

Yes, but if you've never used daybreak, read a guide first.

I found it interesting on why people doesnt do like this for v1/v2 .. its the safest way. Even with small enough wire you can get through the point hole and have a brezee in soldering.:D. Without hole i even not soldering the RST point on emmc and i choose the one in mainboard.
Its make me sad seeing someone ripped their mainboard pads.:sad:

Click to expand...
If you have nothing to loose, then just boot to ofw then update. After that creates new emmc again from hekate.

Online shop? I not sure what you mean. I can't seem to find any websites that offer send-in service packages. Was wondering if someone knew of any.

Hahhaa.. you can send i to one of us here .. :rofl2:.. the worst case that can happen is your switch will be the next star of this forum.:rofl2:
I dont know about Taiwan (assuming from profile).. but in here many service for mod install is easily avaiable on local e-shop.
