Picofly no led no boot
I put the console in the official Dock to play on the TV, and it worked fine. After a while, I took it out of the dock to play handheld again. Suddenly, the console shut off completely and I heard a soft "pop" sound coming from the speakers.
Pressing the power button didn’t do anything and the console was getting hot around the mod chip.
I had some typical issues during the install (DAT0 errors, 2 flashes for CLK/RST grounding out due to shield/screw pressure), but I managed to fix them. The console finally booted up, Hekate worked, and I was playing normally in handheld mode.
The console is completely dead (black screen, no backlight, no Nintendo logo).
The Picofly chip LED is completely dead (no blue flashes, nothing).
Hard resetting (holding power for 20+ seconds) does nothing.
Leaving it on the charger does nothing.
I measured the SP1 / SP2 caps on the APU and I do have voltage there (around 0.6V-0.8V). So the PMIC seems to be alive and sending power to the APU.
I measured the 3.3V point directly on the Picofly chip, and it is receiving 3.3V normally.
Despite getting 3.3V, the RP2040 chip on the Picofly shows no signs of life.
Question:
Since the mobo has voltages at SP1/SP2 but won't boot, is it stuck because the dead Picofly is still attached to the DAT0/CMD/CLK/CPU lines and grounding them out?
I have attached all the photos with the solder points
P.S. the dat0 point looks like that because I ripped the circle it had and then scratched a little off the plastic to make contact with that copper line
Edit: Ladies and Gentlemen, the console no longer turns on! I’ll be seeing a repair shop in the next days.
Edit 2: Switch is now in a repair shop
