so....
I picked up a broken switch and after finding nothing wrong with it electronically I still couldn't see anything on the screen. No battery charge symbol, no backlight, nothing, nada. It was charging fine but completely dead.
being a low serial number I ran it in RCM and it booted into Hekate. I swapped the eMMC with a spare one and when plugging in the charger i got a charging symbol on the screen but obviously it wouldn't boot.
Putting the old eMMC back in and running hekate again i tried to do a backup of the eMMC but it flashed up the error "unable to init eMMC". I reflowed the eMMC and still the same issue.
So I'm looking for options. I can try reballing the eMMC, I seen somewhere that you can hardwire the eMMC to USB/SD but I have no idea how to do that or how to access the files once on a USB/SD connector, or lastly replace the Tegra, eMMC and possibly the Wifi IC as the rest of the board is fine.
Am I missing any options (apart from thowning it in the trash) and if anyone has any good information on hardwiring the eMMC I'll give it a try.
