Hardware How Does Nintendo Repair a Brick?

[bannana2]

I'm kinda curious how Nintendo repairs a bricked system if they don't have your system NAND file. Does anybody know the specifics?

They have the keys to make a new nand. If we had the keys we could make new nands, we could make full non-nintendo cfw's that boot up right when you hit the power button.

I wonder if they use the test points on the motherboard like we do or if there is an easier method they use to access the nand and read/reflash it without opening the system.

If they can build the NAND in the firsrt place, they can do it again.

The probably use those, just need some pogopins and it is easy to mass-flash stuff like that.

tbh nintendo probably just put a new motherboard in and build the nand to have the old serial number....possibly where the SecureInfo_B files come from
