Hardware Switch OLED – eMMC init fails after I knocked off the CMD (A point) resistor and the cap next to it. Wire-mounted 4.7k, still failing. Help?

I was installing a picofly chip on my Switch OLED and the CMD (A point) resistor and the capacitor beside it came off. The pads of the resistor are off.


What I’ve done:


  • Cleaned the area and checked the points with a multimeter in diode mode (battery out). CLK and DAT0 read .450 each. The resistor pads read .450 and .250 before I touched them. The capacitor pads read 0 and .450 (one side to ground).
  • Scraped a long strip of solder mask off a trace by mistake (this was all done by stupid gemini instructions)
  • I couldn’t place a 0201 without a hot air station, so I soldered 0.1 mm wires from the two resistor pads to a loose 0603 4.7k resistor (measured ~4.7k), taped down on kapton.

Still the same eMMC error. Questions:


  1. Is a wire-mounted resistor stub OK on the CMD line, or does it need to sit directly on the pads?
  2. What’s the value and rating of the capacitor next to the A-point resistor, and could its absence cause this?
  3. Is there anything else I should check (CLK, DAT0, the trace I scraped)?
  4. To what excact traces do i need to solder the resistor
Also i want to mention that before i started all this with the cmd point the modchip was installed good and booted to hekate (didnt boot to ofw tough) gemini instructed me to replace the cmd resistor but that didnt go well as you can see.


The resistor is in the blue circle and i highlited the wires with red.
