So I got a picofly rp2040 from ali express the other day, installed it onto my switch ensuring i was being super careful lifting the shield and soldering, after I finished that I turned it on and was happily met with the "no sd card" screen with the picofly symbol, but when I put an SD card in... nothing, tried turning on and off and again nothing.
There was one instance where I did get into some kind of hekate, the one you see when there was a payload error, I cant remember what the error was but it was complaining about the SD, and checking it on my pc it was in exfat, reformatted loaded the files and put it back in. And still nothing.
I did the test where you hold the VOL + - to boot into OFW and i was hauntingly met with a blue screen. Even putting the NAND back in its normal slot I now get a blue screen.
Where did i go wrong? Surely its not a Ram or CPU issue as I saw the "no sd card" screen, could the mod chip have perhaps corrupted the NAND?
Also to note too, when I turn the switch on with the picofly in, theres a blue light that "hovers" (bright then slightly dim) for about 1-2 seconds, and then flashes green, and either shows "no sd card" or blue screen if im holding the volume buttons.
Any advice will be massively appreciated, otherwise Ill have to buy a v1 switch for a doner motherboard
