[Switch V2] Having issues after RP2040 Install

[Switch V2] Having issues after RP2040 Install

I have successfully installed the modchip. The chip consistently pulses and gives a successful glitch, landing me on the "No SD" screen. However, I cannot get the console to boot any further.

  1. Stock Boot: Attempting to boot into stock firmware results in an immediate Blue Screen (BSOD).
  2. Hekate Errors: When booting with an SD card (FAT32, fresh HATS/Atmosphere pack), I get "Missing LP0" and "Missing Minerva" errors.
  3. Legacy Hekate: Older versions result in a black-and-white flashing screen.
  4. Physical Condition: There are two minor surface scratches on the green solder mask over the RAM traces leading to the APU (copper is exposed but traces appear intact).

What I’ve Checked:

  • Previous Shorts: I initially had a BSOD caused by the flex cable "tongue" shorting against the CPU shield, but I have since corrected and insulated this.
  • Soldering: SP1 and SP2 appear to be nicely attached. The chip's white light suggests the glitch handshake is happening.
  • Maintenance: I’ve cleaned the board with IPA and verified the eMMC daughterboard is fully seated.

Any More solutions?
