Failed OLED Kamikaze debugging Black Screen

[voltron4lyfe]

I went WAY deep when doing the Kamikaze mod and have tried to repair it. I believe that I've gotten the traces back together but am still getting a black screen and am unsure how to diagnose it. If the modchip is installed, I get a black screen and *== (bad wiring problem) from the modchip.


When trying to repair it, I kept burning up the traces and had to keep going farther and farther to the APU. Currently I'm trying to get the Switch to boot into OFW but only get a black screen.

I still have the Dat0 adapter installed (not connected to anything) and I get. continuity between Dat0 on my fixed point and the wire attached to the Dat0 adapter. I think the trace pointed to by the Blue arrow is Dat1. I'm not sure how to check that it's properly connected. The purple mark is extra Dat0 line for when the modchip is re-installed.

I've probed everything and the diode readings seem correct and nothing shows as shorted to ground. What steps should I try next?

Thank you!

you likely have broken bottom trace for CMD resistor as well

I was thinking I might have done that but was thinking that would result in the pink screen. Or is it needed to boot?

Thank you for the response

I tried to patch it up today but no change. I tested for continuity so I'm not quite sure of the issue. I might try again -- it's a good learning experience.
