Hardware SX Core flashing blue light and question

[de9ed]

Hello,

I have not done many sx core installation but from what I have read, sp1 is blue led and sp2 is red led? Is that the correct assumption? Is there any value to check at the capacitor?

If one would have accidentally removed both sp1 and sp2 capacitor? does the switch still functional properly? and how would one weld it back on?

On the new ACNH switches, I experienced a long flashing blue light that does not change to red or blue or purple, and I have resoldered every connection and it still would not boot.

Any help would be appreciated

when the light flashes blue for that long, just restart the switch. Mine does that when i choose the clean up option for booting sysnand. Remember, it's doing a timed attack. make sure 100% that you have your solder connected to the caps, v2 caps are a pain to solder to.

thanks for the reply, the long flashing blue is before I have even gotten a green. I have bought a microscope to check the weld this time

Hello, have you resolve it?
I get a test unit of sx-core, it worket like a charm, then i leave it in a box for 2 months. today i try to charge it and then powering on the switch, no activity, i just see inside that the chip light blinkining in blue continusly.

so, flashing blue led, no backlight, no sound, no activity.
any idea?

rework sp1 and sp2, try sp1 first, sp1 is usually blue.

I would re touch up sp1 and sp2. I usually train the chip by turning it on and off to hekate. so the chip can learn the glitch timing
