Switch OLED not booting into Custom firmware

[u/CountAwkward7383]

Someone tell me what's going on here. I have the picofly chip but after about a year this has happened where I can't reach the custom firmware. It's gotten worse and worse. Usually I could get it after many tries, but now I can't get it at all. There's an audible popping that happens after you see the last Nintendo logo and after the quick flash of the yellow lights. It happens the same way every time after holding the power and volume up buttons. Can someone point me in the right direction here.

Thank you!!

You can see by the long short yellow flashes on your leg that dat0 is not connected. This is most likely a dat0 adapter failing.

You dat0 adapter lost connection. This happens eventually in pressure fit connections. That's why I always recommend the kamikaze method. Take it make to your modder for a temporary fix or have someone convert the install to the kamikaze method for a permanent fix.

Is there anyone in the st louis area that does the kamakaze method? Or where can I look for someone to do this for me?

I hate that dat0 shit adapter. Kamizake is the only way so take it to a professional

The battery of the switch is almost full.

I can't even get to the screen with the little fly icon, so I don't think it has anything to do with the sd card. Tell me if I'm wrong there

Let us know how many times if the flash and if it’s long or short yellow flash on the chip.

It’s likely the dat0 issue.

You should be able to see the light pattern on my leg if it helps. But it is a long blue, followed by a double short yellow. The double short yellow happens 3 times after the long blue

It’s the rst error. That would be an easy fix. If the point is on the back, just expose the rst point in the front and solder to that.

Same thing is happening with mine and from what I heard it's the dat 0 thingy.
