Switch WiFi issues.

My switch recently started being unable to connect to WiFi. It seems like this is probably a hardware issue, but I can move games to it using usb so it didn't bother me once I'd deleted the WiFi config from it so it didn't beep at me every time I did anything. Unfortunately I think the Bluetooth might have gone with it as the joycons no longer connect when removed and the gamepad I was using won't connect wirelessly either. Is this a thing?

Wifi and bluetooth are integrated into a single IC.

You're lucky it hasn't completely stopped booting because that's usually what happens when the wifi part dies.

The IC or components around it will need to be replaced. imo reflowing won't magically make it work again, but who knows.

Yeah. I talked to someone local and it's basically much cheaper to just find a used one that works. For now it seems to be booting fine. I've had no other issues so I'll just run it until it probably dies eventually.
