Hi everyone,
I have done several pico installs on working switch consoles no problem.
This candidate i bought "broken". Broken in this case means: Console works fine when docked, but no picture in Handheld. Backlight seems to be on.
I tried repairing it to no avail, i put in another consoles mainboard even. Still nothing. Checked filters etc.. nothing. But thats okay, i thought, i only play docked anyways.
Next step was installing a picofly which went okay i think, but now i am not getting a picture when docked anymore. Here are some hints:
1. When i turn on the console the picofly lights up blue and starts glowing with different intensities. Then it flashes yellowish/white and thats it. I can see that the backlight is on (you can see the back of the screen near the hole for the right speaker. I can not turn off the console with a short power button press. I have to hold it for it to fully turn off.
2. Everything is the same as above but i unplugged the SD card/reader with the payload on it. The only difference here is i can now use the power button to turn the console on and off quickly. Same thing if only delete the payload
3. I disconnect the pico (im using flexcables) and put the emmc module back into its slot. console works again in docked mode.
What is going on here? Am i stuck on the hekate screen? Does that not show when docked? I can not really see anything. Does Hekate not give any feedback? Fairly certain that i am stuck in that screen, because it makes a difference if there is a payload or not. Any way i can skip the hekate screen by configuring an autoboot to atmosphere in the hekate_ipl?
EDIT: I edited the ini file and changed it to autoboot. I can definitely see the console do something and then hard crash. Have to hold the power button. Trying to troubleshoot this without vision is hell xd
I also noticed a folder called warmboot_mariko on the sd card which contains a bin file called wb_12.bin
Hope you guys can help me out
All the best
