Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

Using lower temp on component that might get hot, is kind of risky right?

The components in the Switch don't get that hot because it has some sort of active cooling.
And nobody uses that kind of exotic low melt point solder.

There are cases like some Samsung tablet where the emmc would get so hot that it would partially detach itself from the PCB.
That was both due to poor quality emmc, a lack of active cooling and some exotic solder that should not have been used anyway.

hello everyone. I thought to make modifications to my oled. I think I made the modifications correctly because I started Hekate and made a backup but it does not load any system, I only have a black screen. ofw 19. on the memory band I have 0.840v, not if I could not achieve less. after dismantling the modification the console does not start. it also does not respond to the charger. I probably did not short circuit. thank you for your help

Share pics of your install.

Unfortunately I didn't take a picture and I already installed it to see if it would start normally.

Can you take pics of the motherboard. Someone should be able to spot something. Maybe you chipped an ic or cut a trace somewhere.

this is what it looks like after disassembly. I measured the capacitors on the CPU and it was normal before I started the console.

I'm a bit out of my depth here, I admit to not knowing what to look for. That said, some things stand out:

This shield looks askew and not engaging the latch, likely was taken off and then put back on, but not quite right:

I'd also check these traces here:

And this IC looks a bit off in the picture?

this sheet metal cover looks very good in real life as if it had not been touched at all. next to the processor the flux residues were cleaned and it is clean and the last photo is simply out of focus there visually it is also good. unfortunately I do not have a better camera to capture it

. there are very few black screens described. do people not have such problems

Dude, google translate and chatgpt are great at translating. Maybe consider writing in your own language and translate to english? It is very hard to understand what you are asking.

Just search through this thread. There were several pictures posted of mosfets on the back of the PCB.

delete the folder from your sdcard, in atmosphere that has the program id name: 010000000xxxx

Here are more details: https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/issues/1802
Mission control was not updated so it prevents atmosphere to boot properly.
