I wound up sending mine with this issue to Nintendo for repair, and even they didn't bother repairing it, they just sent me a refurb. That said, my original Switch was vulnerable, so that might have more to do with it than it bring a problematic repair.
WiFi doesn't even work when running Android or Linux. That's why I assume that the bcm4356 is broken.
Also a capacitor next to it is shorted to ground, but when I remove the capacitor the short is still there.
But why hasn't anyone developed a syscheck bypass yet? We could play in single player/offline mode at least and use our broken Switches again.
I just can't believe that no one repaired this yet.
Any Nintendo employees here that could tell us what they do with the faulty Switches, that have this fault, they receive?

I wound up getting $25 CAD off the repair by calling them and sort of complaining about the situation, since my Switch failed just out of warranty with no real explanation why, so in the end it was just under $100 CAD including shipping and taxes.
