Hello, please tell me if anyone has experienced a similar problem.
The Swift Light before the chip was working without any problems.
After installing picofly - the OS does not boot. Hekate runs, internal memory is readable. All backups done, keys saved. However, neither OFW nor EmuNand OS don't start. Atmosphere (or Nintendo) logo appears for one second, then black screen and nothing happens.
Picofly is flashed with version 2.65.

do you have the latest hekate and atmosphere files?

 

[MrKryak]

do you have the latest hekate and atmosphere files?

Yes, of course. I used the latest versions from github

 

[Adran_Marit]

have you booted full stock?

try and deliberately resolder the CPU pin on the RP2040 side. Pull the wire out, make sure it has solid solder on it, and reattach it to the pad. I've experienced having good connection at the APU/flex before, but bad at the RP2040 with the thinner magnet wire due to the ceramic coating.

Still the same
Haha
Got cyan led
Maybe my cpu flex is bad?

 

[MrKryak]

have you booted full stock?

Full stock also does not start. The nintendo logo appears for one second, then a black screen and nothing else.
I also tried flashing 16.0.1 through tegra explorer. It had no effect.

Hmmm I'm guessing your boot files are messed up.
Can you restore your backup?

I tried restoring a backup and nothing changed.
Could boot0 be corrupted? Although the 2.65 chip firmware shouldn't have damaged the boot sector, and the nintendo (or atm) logo appears, so in theory boot0 is not damaged.

Maybe the 47 ohm resistors are not enough?

Have you tried 'Warmboot Error Fix' to boot to ofw?

No, I haven't, thanks for the tip, I'll check it out tonight.

Installing Raspberry Pi causes CPU capacitor short circuit, which means what's wrong? On the premise of confirming that there is no problem with welding

sounds like you've used the wrong points on the mosfet.

This can be sure that there is no welding error. I have confirmed it again and again. Will a problem with the Raspberry Pi hardware cause this situation?

you probably did something wrong, did you use the mosfet or the flat?

are you sure? that capacitor gives 15 Ohm by default, that is OK
