    Hacking Hardware Modchip installation failed, ripped off a capacitor with its pad. Is this fixable?

    If I remember correctly, it should work just by ignoring this soldering point Since these are power connections, 1 cap is enough, 2 caps for redundancy. Also, before considering to ignore the cap, you can see if the ripped off pad is the ground pad. If ground pad is ripped off, simply fix it...

    Hacking Hardware Modchip installation failed, ripped off a capacitor with its pad. Is this fixable?

    Which cap is this exactly? With 1 pad only, the cap is not connected. And it looks like that the pads might still be there. Also, by looking at the result on the other caps, the iron tip isn't giving enough heat for the soldering. This is also the reason why you rip the cap off in the first...

    Joycon not Working but the sound of click when i plug

    Do you have another switch with working rails to testify it? The step to test the continuity also tested the possibility to have a bad FPC connector Continuity of the test points on the board to the 10 pins should verify that

    Issues after restoring nand and updating to fw 17+

    Another approach might be just backup the nand you now have in the emmc Mark it carefully e.g. DonorNANDwithMyProdinfoFW18.0 Then try to do the NAND restore with lower version fw like 10.0 or 12.0 Best is to match your original version E.g. my switch got bricked when it had FW12.2, I tried...

    Joycon not Working but the sound of click when i plug

    To begin with, I usually start by making sure that all pins on joy con and the tablet are working. 10 pins on both sides, making them 20 pins in total, although many are ground pins Look for bent pins or dirty pins Then test continuity by test points If all good, then I will test the chips Do...

    Hardware [Question] V1 Type-C port installed with jump wires

    Thank you for the recommendation, but I found that it's not feasible in my case. First is its price, second is that I don't really need a "normal" Nintendo Switch. Anyways, I would like to know if the jump wires matter in the case. I had all points' continuous tests passed but the type C port...

    Hardware [Question] V1 Type-C port installed with jump wires

    This board came from someone tried but failed to swap the type C port. Instead, he ripped off some soldering pads on the board. As seen in attached photo "TypeC_Trace", result of me trying to repair the broken trace by both jump wires(too thin?) and repairing pads(too thin in another way?)...

    Hardware Joycon pin 5 stays high

    To be precise, I replaced the connector at the upper left corner in the figure. 1693972623 I also found that normal diode voltage from pin 5 to pin 6 should be 1.8V, same as the high state voltage. But the malfunction board has diode voltage of 0V 1693990124 After a few hours of checking, it’s...

    Hardware Joycon pin 5 stays high

    I have a joycon having pin5 staying at high when it's plugged into the switch. I need to manually short it to ground to bring it to low, then the switch sounds "click", and the wired connection is done. Once the joycon is disconnected, it goes to wireless mode. When it's connected back, pin5...

    Init eMMC Failed, no NAND backups

    In case someone like me uses file base emunand instead of partition method emuMMC. We have our emummc system broken by 14.0+ in file 00 which should be located somewhere like sd root/ emummc/HPE0/eMMC/00 alongside files 01, BOOT0, BOOT1 this cannot be mounted by Hekate through the USB method...

    Tutorial NAND Rebuilding (for no backup / broken eMMC)

    Which step were you at exactly? Step 12 is quite long. It seems that your eMMC GPP isn't correctly connected to computer Have you use a Hekate payload injected directly from PC? Hekate loaded by chain loader may not work
