Hi all, slightly frustrated but definitely willing to provide all info I can.
Switch Lite - Picofly Modchip with yellow flex cables (aliexpress)
Used digital microscope and soldered everything in place.
I can boot into Hekatos fine (using latest HATS pack on a 512gb Samsung MicroSD)

On all the tutorials I found everyone says to make backups first. So I tried. I can do the Backup eMMC BOOT0 & BOOT1. When I try for the eMMC RAW GPP backup, it will fail and give me the error that the eMMC is initialized in slower mode. After I get that message if I try to check Console Info > eMMC, it says Failed to init eMMC! and gives me the eMMC issues warning that it's initialized in a slower mode, or init/read/write errors occured. If I turn it off and turn it back on I can check the eMMC and even do the Benchmark. I can post pics of the results if needed.

I've done the diode measurements to the points on my Picofly and got the following
A - 0.413v
B - 0.374v
C - 0.410v
D - 0.396v

Voltage Checks when Hekate is running
A - 0.86v
B - 1.819v
C - 1.817v
D - 0.014v
 
So after about 10-15 failed backups. 2 different SD Cards. And endless checks. I desoldered A B C D, cleaned, resoldered, and FINALLY got a good backup... Will continue my work.

I've got a good 3 weeks to work on this. I'm transiting across the Atlantic and want this to be fixed for my flight back home next month lol.
