First oled install, lite and plenty of v2's went just fine.
It's all done, but, no boot ofc : ' (
I get some flashing blue leds, then eventually just a fast single yellow and it gives up.
The only issue I encountered with the install is just that I was not getting a good reading from the dat0 adapter. I tried pressing it in there as hard as I could, but, never got any reliable readings.
Does anyone know what the fast yellow indicates?
Thanks

Uninstalled everything and it boots regular stock fw np.
Maybe its just time to buy a less shit mod chip?

I don't thing the modchip would be the $#!t, but the installer who modded the Switch.

There's literally thousands of properly installed Pico's and still working no issues.

Lol, fair enough.
When I wrote the mod chip is "shit", I'm more referring to the DAT0 adapter and my lack of readings from it.
I holed that sucker in there as well as I could, and, readings off the multimeter are inconsistent at best.
Plenty of other posters out there who comment the variety of DAT0 adapter included is "not the best".
Anything constructive you can suggest ?

With those adapters it's hard to get reliable results. You could try the Kamikaze method, it is more reliable in the long run, but it is very risky to do.
