I have a problem with my Switch OLED. It won't boot any longer.
It blinks blue one time, then yellow 5 or 6 times and nothing happens :(

you have to read the morse code then come back here . Only the yellow light counts. * is short pulse = is long pulse.

Hey guys, after a picofly installation f*ckup that killed the APU in one of my switches, I decided to buy a new mainboard-emuMMC combo from an ebay store and test my luck.
The switch is now working, but the person that board belonged to had parental controls with linked mobile app installed!!!

My question as expected is:
After installing picofly on the new board, will I be able to restore BOTH CFW and OFW to factory settings somehow?
Thanks
yeah afaik there is a way to get rid of it once u installed a chip , if u search the nintendo switch forum im pretty sure u will be able to find a solution :-)

are you talking about this?: https://gbatemp.net/threads/reset-parental-control-nx-an-easy-to-reset-the-pin-for-controls.556891/
I've also read somewhere that after you find the "device ID" inside prodinfo, you visit this website: https://mkey.salthax.org/
and generate a "master key" to reset the PIN/console.
Any more details about how I can get rid of parental controls and still be able to use OFW online without being banned?
Or maybe any info on how exactly to find the Device ID using a payload from Hekate?

Can someone help me with the morse?
I uploaded a short video to show how it blinks:

 
hmm, maybe you didn't realize the handheld issue with LED mod on joycon
I don't know, I put a 100nf 0201 cap on the LED data line coming from the RP2040 as you had tried in one of your posts, everything seems to be functioning fine with the joycon, both wired and wireless.
 
Hi everyone, i check the guide v6.3 and i see there is another way to soldering the mofset by @abal1000x ?

"Thanks to GBAtemp member abal1000x, the following diagrams are possible alternate MOSFET soldering locations, located on the rear of each board."

So we don't need now to open the cage CPU to soldering the mofset inside ?

like this for the OLED version :

And the solder point of the source is right here ? :

A Big Thank You

To respond to your questions in order, yes, yes, yes, and you're welcome.
 
This will be quite a blow to the HWFly team that were at least still able to sell CPU flex cables 😅
i bought cpu flex cables for 1 dollar. So far (4 days) they work flawlessly. HWFLY asks for 10$ for them

I have 2x V1 and 1x Lite done with them

in the diagrams we see only 1 mosfet used for oled and lite (whereas on the cpu we use x2 mosfets). Is that an error and we still need to use 2 ? Or now its just 1 ?
 
Having far too much trouble getting picofly to work on this patched erista switch. I have tried several cards (PNY, Samsung, SanDisk), of several capacities, 64-256 GB, with multiple sd card readers. I have tried both and actual rpi 2040 soldered, and an aliexpress picofly on a flex PCB. no matter which combination of the above I try, it glitches successfully, but I get 'unable to in it SDcard.' All I could find on this was 'Use a Samsung SD' That doesn't seem to work.

If you're drawing 3.3v power from the SD card slot, you are inhibiting the system from initializing the SD reader by drawing power away from the SD card and using it to power the rp2040. Where are you getting voltage from? Send pics
 
3.3 and ground are coming from caps near the charging controller, at least on the rp2040 install. The hwfly-like picofly board I was originally trying to get working pulls from the emmc connector. Same spots I'm pulling from on my trinket install in my unpatched switch... I only swapped in one of my regular 2040s while trying to troubleshoot the purpose-made board. Same symptom on both. And both the SDcard and reader work perfectly fine in my unpatched switch, as well as in OFW on the patched switch I'm trying to mod.

Take a few more high quality photos of the rest of your install please. Also, make sure to clean up any flux when you're testing, because certain fluxes can be mildly conductive and introduce more random issues to your install.
