    Hacking WiFi chip failing and can't boot. is it possible to enable Airplane Mode by editing system save files directly?

    Unfortunately that didn't help, so hardware issue it is. I actually saw your post about that. Unfortunately I already tried that twice and it didn’t change anything. At this point I might have to look into reflowing the chip.

    Hacking WiFi chip failing and can't boot. is it possible to enable Airplane Mode by editing system save files directly?

    Just to clear things up about the techs. The first guy, I honestly have no idea what he did lol, but yeah, never going back there. The second tech was solid though, he just did the hardware job. When I said he gave it to me to "install stuff myself", I just meant he left the software part for...

So probably more of the "no idea what I'm talking about" rather than "big brain". Also, funny you mention the oven thing! I actually...

    I got this switch for a steal, and I knew the wifi chip was faulty, but bluetooth worked, and still works, and I used a dock with an ethernet connection to be online, after I decided to mod it with picofly, I guess the wifi chip got more damaged during the disassembly process? After that CFW or...

    Hacking WiFi chip failing and can't boot. is it possible to enable Airplane Mode by editing system save files directly?

    Yeah I get what you mean. I’m still gonna try the offset route if I can find it though, mainly because repair options here are pretty limited and not many shops in my country work on Switch board-level stuff. Since Bluetooth still works and the issue really seems tied to WiFi init, I figured...

    Hey all, bit of a weird situation and hoping someone here has dealt with this before. My Switch's WiFi chip appears to be failing. I've seen a few posts around the internet suggesting that enabling Airplane Mode can sometimes work around the issue and let the console boot normally...
