    Hacking Bricked Switch, can't enter RCM

    Yes! It was finally fixed. The USB choke was blown, so the SoC couldn't talk with USB devices. It didn't turn on because it was AutoRCM'ed, and couldn't fast charge because it couldn't negotiate with the charger. Read my posts here for more information...

    @Pintglass It worked! Switch has finally booted! :)

    I couldn't source it from companies here. I just found out about Farnell Export (https://export.farnell.com/) and they ship with UPS at only 5 pounds. I just made an order for 10, fingers crossed.

    They ask 20 euros shipping for a .40c part :toot:

    Any idea where I can get this part? I can only find it on eBay (got it right after your message -- still waiting for it to arrive). Are any other compatible alternatives?

    Any idea how should I search for them? What package is this?

    No, I don't have continuity between the two sides. I think this is the problem! I have continuity from the GREEN side to the pads (and the cable)

    I can measure 0.63MΩ and 0.64ΜΩ on top and bottom between the red side and the shield of the SoC

    I can't measure continuity from the pads to the red side... I can sense on the green (on each pad / data line). Is that normal? please tell me it isn't

    What chokes are you referring to?

    I can read continuity on each choke (on opposite pins) Yes. Only original charger and official cable (from Pro Con) when connecting to PC. No short there. I also plugged the cable and confirmed continuity from the male end (USB A) to the board test pads

    I do get the same readings. The readings are with a charger and no battery connected. I don't have a short in the 3.3V rail! It doesn't load anything. PC doesn't recognize it at all. It only charges at .45A (and then drops when I presume the battery is full)

    No, it doesn't make any sound. I've tried with my working Switch to be sure drivers etc work. I have tried connecting it without the eMMC, will it show up as RCM without it? Edit: I've found this wiki entry: https://switchbrew.org/wiki/Testpads Measuring across Cluster B 6 and 4 gives me...

    Hey guys, I'm trying to troubleshoot a non-working switch I got. Switch seems to charge but it doesn't boot. I also has AutoRCM installed. The Switch died after plugging it into a dodgy USB port of a PC. Battery voltage is 3.8V without the charger and 4.0V plugged into Nintendo charger. Here...
