Hacking Hardware Wifi error 2110-1118 after HWFLY

Str1der · Jul 12, 2023

Hi,I've done more than 15 consoles with Picofly and Hwfly,and this one is a pain...

Everything was working before modding,and now bluetooth is working,but Wifi gives 2110-1118.
Switch is OLED.
Searching over the internet,some people are saying that those SMDs left from APU can be ripped when opening metal shield.I tested them with multimeter,everything is fine.
I also found somewhere that WL_REG_ON from Wifi IC can cause this (pad A10),but I didn't touch that side of the motherboard.
I removed Hwfly,everything is the same,even after doing factory reset.I'm guessing the trace somewhere is broken,but I don't know where to test.
I also tried a reflow on wifi chip with no luck.

Going with some logic,IC chip is ok,because this happened after modding console,so maybe trace is broken somewhere around metal shield or where flex cable is going for picofly points (first time I used that flex cable).

Does anybody knows what else can I try?
Thanks.

Guy haven't been here for a few months, it is best to create your own thread if you need help.

But there is a mail notification

I didn't solve this issue.I've taken that Switch to another guy who works with electronics,he told me that the problem was wifi IC.So who knows,maybe it did broke for some reason.

Now I have done more then 200 oleds.Instead of using small wires and pico,I ended up using picofly packages (chip and flex cables).They are more reliable,and since then I didn't have problems,except for screen connectors,and right rail connector,they are real garbage.You have to be very carefull with those,and the pins inside will not broke.
