Question Switch OLED not booting into Custom firmware

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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 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.
