    No power Usb 180ma 5V out of system 2101-0001

    Got no where with this. so brought it to a repair shop. They did a few checks and confirmed what I already knew. BUt then came to the conclusion as its modded the mod chip makes the cpu run hot and kills it. I am of the impression that even with the CPU removed the M92 would handshake to 15V...

    No power Usb 180ma 5V out of system 2101-0001

    just to update my lack of progress. All diode readings around M92 are now correct. I had an open due to a lack of solder. I could not detect CC1 or cc2 at m92 from my breakout board, so I went ahead and removed the USB port (it looked visually ok). I could detect the CC line up to the M92...

    No power Usb 180ma 5V out of system 2101-0001

    i have a usb c break out board and will do a diode check in the next day or so. I found this link which is the most comprehensive ive come across. I assume links are allowed? I should begin with this one But there is a lot to digest and understand (also he jumps between switch and switch...

    No power Usb 180ma 5V out of system 2101-0001

    I dont have it in front of me now but I would assume that the newer V2 boards OEM charger does. have 15V I need to take a step back. I think the Aliexpress M92 has caused issues. Soldering is perfect but I just realised that if VBatt is present and the board is booted then M92 and or realtek...

I have changed the M92 for an aliexpree (new looking and still have no shorts but get the same current draw. I have not changed the...

    Noob question about giving Hekgate switch to children

    so if i move to 17.0.1 no new burnt fuse. But is the emmc backup now useless and go make a new one? Yes fuse count is 19 or HDS 17.0.0.0+ I can update the sd card using an online guide offline, but just want to be clear on the emmc I am on the latest Hats pack and just starting to mess with...

    Noob question about giving Hekgate switch to children

    I have a V2 with Picofly, - just to understand the implications of a fuse burn. It means I cant downgrade, emmc backup is useless (make a new one) what else

    Noob question about giving Hekgate switch to children

    Since I am at the beginning of this journey, I might as well find out how to do an update now. I have read people have done the 17 - 17.01 without issue. Do you do the stock side through the nintendo store or should it be side loaded in from cfw using dbi or something similar and keep fuses...

    Noob question about giving Hekgate switch to children

I only have syscfw and emufw options . and currently online is disabled. If I want to let my child download fortnight or another nintendo game (pokemon) etc. She will...

    Switch SD card reader will not click back down.

    Sorry, I just thought I would reply to discourage someone who might think this is not that difficult. I have stopped, my only issue is no shops locally will look at this. One booked it in (when it was just the fpc) and said oh this is modded, we could not work on this console. I agree this is a...

    Switch SD card reader will not click back down.

    I tried to hard wire the SD card, as I have experience with soldering. Well these pads are not great for solder. I ended up tearing Dat0 (had 5 of 7 done) and so abandoned the attempt. From what I can find out so far there is an alternative dat0 on the back side which I will have to link around...

    Switch SD card reader will not click back down.

    i did try and bell them out and i had a lot of shorts to gnd, I cant figure out how its happening so I have brought it to a shop as i cant wait for ali express parts. They seem to charge 110 euro to fix sd reader issues. here ( think that is steep but i am handcuffed. I wish I could wait and do...

    Switch SD card reader will not click back down.

    im trying to determine if i have a sd card issue as well as a port issue. I saw some videos that show that even a well seated sd card fpc will rock a bit. The pin that is now damaged is one of the common grounds. BUt I can not get hekate to boot the payload.bin. Is my only test at this point to...

    Switch SD card reader will not click back down.

    HI All, I did all the hard work and seem to have been stopped at what should be easy. I have not yet used excessive force. But this should go back down. I see a little deformation on the top right of the board connector but. I have been gently with it. I removed the blacked foam tab and no...

    Does SYSNand OF just reference a fat32 sd card and look for a Nintendo folder? is your card exfat. I am building my knowledge base in advance of my picofly arriving. I have seen my switch look to format an sd card once inserted and i would guess its Fat32 from factory.

    Still trying to get a handle to how a mod will change my switch, currently with a virgin switch when I put in a game cartridge it wants to go online and update before it will launch. if i understand it correctly you can still do this if you launch from Hekate OF and not CFW? If this switch is...

    just wanting to clarify the difference between picofly and hwfly based on RP2040, from what i can make out the hwfly is a few more euro now 15. The main difference I see is less soldering to the main board as it used the mmc socket. Which im all in favour for. I assume software wise they now...

But I want to get to a safe...

    Picofly AIO Thread

    Cool, Is there any consensus to the mod type, as per the above (full) flex or cpu flex or fet. I have found a good and cheap source for Rp2040 in Europe (radionics) so should be able to attempt that method faster than I can get one from ali etc. Just not sure if all adapters follow the same pinout
