i dont know what u mean with acd for me there is only gnd 3,3 clk cmd rst cpu dat0 we are not working with hwflys where its marked abcd

just referring @dewolf mentioned ABCD from HWfly design. A=CMD,C=DAT0,D=CLK. B=RST

I've edit the previous post, initially i did on A,C,D point the 47 ohm resistor.. AFTER the EMMC INIT ERROR i try also to put on B ... but no change same error.

I've install picofly so many times (also on skhynix) without any issue.. the only change is that i've try the new firmware this time (the 2.65) without the unlock, as is written into Github, any clue?

You could perhaps try flashing your picofly with the (flash_nuke.uf2) file and loading the 2.65 firmware fresh, if you still have access to USB pins/the usb port.

i did it, try to flash first nuke and after the 2.65... same issue

@jkyoho : unfortunatly i can't test (because i don't have the .bin file to rollback to the 2.5 that was the version that i've installed successfully on the SK emmc ... i'm start to think that is a bootloader problem on the 2.65 (since when i put the HWFLY and change the bootloader everythings come back to life)

I tried to detect a possible short on the motherboard by connecting an external battery via usb directly to the motherboard without the original battery, I felt different areas and found one that gets hot, this would be max77812, do you think I should replace it?

Do YOU think you should replace it?

 

[blueice7]

Do YOU think you should replace it?

Yes, I think it should be changed, I just wanted to know other opinions

If it doesn't boot, then my opinion is you have a broken switch until you fix it.

I wondering where is the best place to put the pico in the switch ?

It might help if you said what type of Switch you have...

Every professional started with "I will learn to do it myself"....There may have also been some swearing and a lot of loss in money in some instances.
Point is I am about to attempt my first install and accept the risk of this learning experience.

You see, I'm not saying people can't, the warning is this is hard and risk breaking it.

Hell I broke my lite trying this, I've learnt. I'll be attempting my oled as soon as I have both it and the chip.

I know, but I figured some humor might help my NERVOUSNESS currently.

You've got this. As @Adran_Marit stated, take your time. It isn't a race <3

Step 1 done.... I stabbed myself a few times and fuck those buttons.

if you struggle, you can try to put a tweezer leg under the main body of the plastic button switch body, then hit one side of the legs with your iron till it "teeter-totters" off those two pads. Then grab the button body with the tweezers and hit the other two pads to get the reamainder off.
