Hey guys I know there are a few other threads out there, but none of them really had the exact same issue w/ solution bar this one. Excuse any neglegince as I am not really familiar entirely with all the behaviours of the chip. (Mine is a HWFLY V5 Core w/ OLED Switch). I did not do the install myself, had someone do it over 9 months ago, working flawlessly up until now.
Issue is that after a normal restart, the chip starts pulsing purple, then introduces 1 red flash after a minute regularly. Tried to short the chip, didnt want to short, tried to hook it up to the pc, didnt connect or show any lights on the chip, opened it up, everything seemed fine, I even tried to drain the battery like in the link thread above and that didnt help.
Bizarrely, it fixes itself after exactly 3 days & 12 hrs... I dont know why. I figure it must be discharging something to be taking that long. The chip works like normal, everything works, hekate, cfw, all of it.
Yes I've repeated this 3 times and they happen when I've either restarted or powered off after a few days of continuous use. Restarting is not the issue since it has worked fine when I've done multiple restarts in a row after its fixed itself, but thats the only kinda clue I have as to when the chip decides to freak. This was no longer the case after the 3rd time, after the 3rd it completly refused to come back to normal, leaving it upwards of 2 weeks without powering it on.
Anyways I'm looking for anyone could explain this behaviour or any remedies.
FINAL UPDATE: Original technician claimed different reasons for the issue (mentioned in the updates in this thread) but I assume he had no idea what he was doing as he tried to squeeze me for my money without even remotely fixing it when I sent it back to him. Then I sent it to a reputable technician and he told me there were burned transistors. Modchip was somewhat repairable but expensive to do, so the only alternative was to either unmod or install a new mod.
TLDR : 3 Burned transistors needed to be replaced, decided to un-mod my switch and go back to vanilla than to spend 4x the repair cost to get a new working mod.
