I don't know why but the picofly still lights up green even after the Jumper. I tried it on both chips..

U should use the newest firmware 2.73 the color doesn't matter anymore for debugging ,

Thats deprecated. The light color no longer issue. The error code will use pulse light like morse code, no longer use color code.

Just plug off and plug on the pico, then make sure its throws ** light code means reset disconnected.

Hello there!

I've got a Switch Lite that I've decided to mod with Picofly and rp2040.

I've soldered everything using the schematic in the ultimate guide, and I'm using the 2.73 firmware.

The issue is that every time the yellow LED is flashing in this pattern ==* so "CPU always reach BCT check (no glitch reaction, check mosfet)"
I've tried both the single and double mosfet method, as well as adding the two wires for SDA and SCL. I've also tried replacing the CPU cable with a thicker one, but it still didn't help.

Any ideas on where to go from there?

I'm having issues with an install. I've modded many switches with no issues, but this is my first picofly. I checked in diode mode and all seems good. However on boot I get *==, No emmc cmd1 request (Poor Wiring, Bad CPU), and it boots straight into OFW. I will say I accidentally had RST and 3V switched at one point and was getting the RST not detected error. But now I dont know whats going on. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Anyone have any ideas?

Replace the mosfet. Remove sda/scl. If necessary try the back pcb method.

there is only one color that gives u morse code and its yellow, show a pic of ur install also

its hard to tell with that shaking camera , take the switch apart and then make a video or see what the codes are properly.

ur gonna have to take it apart anyways to repair it
