Switch Lite + SX Lite odd behavior (glitches but no screen)

[mvmiranda]

Hello,
I have a very odd issue with a Switch Lite with a SX Lite (original chip).

Someone else has tried to install another SX Lite in this console and claimed the same thing.
One thing I need to mention though is that when I received the console to redo the work, apparently there was a small short in the top part of the NAND flat cable. Apparently it was shorting with the small pad below (although there was no tin traces when I removed all the "dirt"):


So, basically the chip blinks blue then stays green and no screen is visible. The screen is lit up but nothing is presented. Not even the "boot.dat" icon when no microSD is used.
If I remove the flat ribbon connections from the chip the console turns on normally and I can use it.

I tried reflashing the chip and using different microSD with no success.

Here are some pictures of the instalaltion (the SP2 appears to be shorting but it's just and "angle issue"):


This is the screen I see when the console turns green:


If I remove the flats the console turns on fine:


I am flabbergasted by this!
Does anyone have any clues?

Thank in advance!

Nope!
Customer decided not to wait anymore and took the console back.
Too bad as I was, truly, curious about this issue.
Well...

I hope you solve your issue, mate!
Cheers!

Best bet is to try another chip.

It was not the chip.
I tried 3 and then used them in another consoles.
They all worked on other consoles. :/
It's something on THAT console.

Thats exactly why you try another chip. Good stuff.
