Hacking Probably Toasted V2 after modchip installation gone wrong.

[razenxd]

Okay so today I purchased a v2 which had a modchip installed, from marketplace.(I know i'm a gambler )
Seller said that it stuck to NO SD screen after updating, so I thought why not take the chance.
So after trying to boot to OFW through hekate I get a 2026-0002 error immediately at the Switch logo.
Zero google results for the exact same error.
Pikofly picked
I Opened it and saw some version of HWFLY MV1-6,hwfly toolbox picks it up and it said its up to date(I also had the latest firmware in sd to update it).
I decided to put mmc straight back to console, again the same error.
I popped the apu/ram metal cap/heatsink and saw that the ribbon isn't soldered anywhere
The resistors are desoldered from the apu and are soldered to the ribbon, so I'm coming to the conclusion that this is probably the source of the error.
I Do not own a microscope so i'm not sure if it ripped any pads or not, I have some friends that are microsoldering experts, hopefully if no ripped pads they will be able to restore the resistors back to their places.
Also, just in case it's needed, is there any place I can find the value of those two little fellas?
Or does anybody know them?
Also if anyone has seen the exact same error please let me know what the issue was.
Thanks a lot

The person probably had zero soldering skills and was over estimating his ability to do the job correctly. You can't trust some people and take their word for it. I was in a similar situation as you. I bought a non functioning switch thinking I could fix it. Dude told me one day it just stopped charging. I opened it up and looked at the charging port in disbelief. I looked at the usb c port and there was a flex cables under the pins with just a blob of solder on the pins. Lucky for me it was extremely cheap. I was thinking about fixing it but I don't have the proper tools to do that kind of micro soldering. I just gave up after removing the switch usb c charging port and looking at the ripped pads. I'm thinking the person who tried to change the port just didn't use proper heat and flux to remove it. He just pulled it off. Then he probably tried the usb c flex cable strip mod and totally failed once again. When they said fail and try again. The dude took that literally, like you don't need to have skills and tools for this kind of job.

Okay , a follow up in case anybody comes across the topic having the same issue.
The SP1 and SP2 resistors ARE NOT 100% REQUIRED, After clearing the ribbon cable I soldered it directly to the missing resistors pads and boot straight to hekate!
The OFW was still giving me 2026-0002 error. I dumped the keys and there were a lot of them missing.
Using Sthetixs files I generated a new prod info and flashed it(meaning that console can't go online to nintendo servers).
And voila! Switch came back from the dead!

Sp1/sp2 are bypass/filtering capacitors on soc's power rail, not resistors. Switch may work fine with them missing but it may impact system stability under load. You should install them back when you get a chance, those are 1uF 0201 ceramic capacitors btw.
