Hi everyone! A friend of mine has a Switch with a problematic SD card reader. He changed the reader, but it was still giving the same issues, so he gave it to me and I opened it up. I noticed that the molex was missing some pins, so I tried to use some jumper wires. I did that, but the SD card still isn't being recognized nor by Horizon and by Hekate. I tried to make the wires the shortest possible and I checked the connections with a multimeter: they are connected and there are no shorts. Also some pads may be look burnt in the pictures, but they're not, there's just some (no clean) flux next to them. I already tried to clean it but it didn't give me any different results.
TL;DR I did the soldering but it still doesn't work, even if the multimeter says there is connection. The reader is third party but new. What could be the issue? I really want to fix this. Thank you!
Note: I suspect the issue may be the ground connection since the SD card isn't even recognized in 1 bit mode by Hekate, but I tried different wires and nothing happened. I think the connection to the reader ground is good, the multimeter says there is connection between the shield of the reader and a random ground pad on the switch mobo, so I really am confused about this
