Hello everyone,
Yesterday, I replaced the thermal paste of my Switch v1. However, since this replacement, the wifi does not work anymore. The console does not detect any wifi network. However, the Bluetooth works, as the wireless controllers are recognized. The console can also connect via an Ethernet adapter. I did not install a CFW on it.
Here is what I tried:
- A complete cleaning of the motherboard with 90°C alcohol,
- A reset of the console,
- Boot on Android: when I try to activate the wifi, the cursor resets, as if the wifi activation had crashed,
- Boot on Linux: no wifi chip detected.
So I am open to suggestions. I can take pictures of the motherboard, boot to Linux or Android to test.
I'm disgusted, I don't understand why such a benign operation could do so much harm to this console.
Thanks in advance for your help.
