It's easier to solder.
Those capacitors are there to smooth out the powerline so leaving them there would be the best option.
Although under a ton of stress the cpu might get unstable, so far we haven't heard anyone complain about that yet though.
After installing the right transistors, I am still getting the same error. I decided to put the pics off and try to boot the switch without the pico. Now it’s not getting any power. I think I need to solve that problem first. Any suggestions where I should look maybe?

check to see if you damaged any of the pads and for accidental shorts (you can try plugging into pc to see if it detects in rcm and if it does then there is a bad pad/trace)
the points are already connected though unless the signal isnt strong enough otherwise?

That's good to know. When I removed the caps and powered on the switch (without pico) It wouldn't turn on. I had to re-solder the caps for it to power. Yet, it powers fine if soldered to the pico.
Would you please breakdown this for me? Pretty confusing.
Would you help me understand something? In the 2nd picture, you used the upper cap to get the D point. Does that mean, among all caps surrounding the APU, I could pick any for D-point? Or is it only the two caps we usually solder to the flex cable?

That's a pretty smooth outer metal cut. Did you use any tools?

From what i've seen during these last 3-4years it's allways just the 2 caps used originaly on flex cables. Now with Pico I guess we can use just one of them (but still one of those 2).
You use the inner pads of caps for D point on V2 and the upper pads of caps on V1. The opposite pad of the caps in these situation corresponds to S point (basically Ground) so that means that you can also do something like this (see photo).
After welding the RP2040, the blue light on the chip turned blue and then flickered blue. The chip flickered for about a minute and I disconnected the power supply of the switch. I tried to restart the switch chip and the blue light flickered for about a minute. I disconnected the power and removed the RP2040. After removing RP2040, my switch cannot start.
I accidentally soldered emmc to rp2040 but forgot to remove the baterry. Now the switch I booted only shows a purple screen, is there a way to fix it? i have another machine that has mod hwfly can restore emmc error machine?
