[Pico 2040 from Ali] Cannot boot OFW from eMMC, emuNAND works fine
Hello,
I have installed a Pico 2040 on my V1 patched Switch yesterday. It’s an “easy install” hwfly pico clone with the CPU flex cable.
I copied my sysNAND to the SD card and I’ve had a warning saying that there may be memory issues wih the eMMC. I booted emuNAND from SD card and it works fine.
My issue is that I cannot boot Original firmware from eMMC chip. I tried the “Reboot to OFW” option in Hekate and I also tried to boot holding vol+, vol-, clicking power and releasing volume buttons once Nintendo logo appears. The screen is always stuck on the “Nintendo SWITCH” logo.
I tried to boot holding the RESET button of the modchip while booting but I’ve had the same results. So I guess I can deduce it is not a firmware issue. To troubleshoot the issue, I disconnected the modchip to connect the eMMC chip directly to the console and the original system firmawre does boot ! I guess I can deduce I did not cause any damage during installation.
I sent a message to the seller, maybe they can send me a new chip. Did anyone have a similar experience and was able to resolve it ?
Here’s a picture during the installation. I have put Kapton tape on the CPU capacitors and around the modchip after I’ve taken the picture.
Thank you
