So I killed my Switch OLED while attempting to install HWFLY Lite modchip.
I sent it to @mvmiranda, whose great expertise identified a short. After fixing it and replacing the M92T36 IC, the mod chip was installed and it's currently working.
But after a couple of days I noticed a strange behavior: the console never fully charges the joy cons, so the charging icons rapidly come and go. I managed "bypass" this fault by using an external charger. Anyway, the fault still exists. It just doesn't show up because the joy cons are fully charged.
And there is also a battery drain problem: it is draining even when the console is turned off, like 1% every couple of hours, even without joy cons attached. When in sleep mode it also drains abnormally: if I leave the console with 100% in the morning, at night it will be around 75% with airplane mode on and joy cons detached.
I double checked the soldering points, there are no shorts detected.
I cleaned the motherboard with IPA.
Do you have any clues where this fault could come from?
could someone kindly shed the light of knowledge on the darkness of my ignorance?
