    RAM memory test utility for Switch?

    THANKS! It passed tinymembench but memtesternx found a STUCK ADDRESS. And when i exited it, the switch threw the "software stopped due to error" message and i had to restart applet mode with "R"-game... So indeed it appears the ddram chips have an issue. Thanks again Dave

    RAM memory test utility for Switch?

    Good info, but i don't need to stress test it - just verify its function (or prove it has an issue before i start undertaking a replacement, which is far more than i've done micro-solder wise)... So what are the "both available homebrew for RAM tests"? I've been looking and haven't found any...

    RAM memory test utility for Switch?

    Does anyone know of a utility or method to test the RAM in a switch? I see lots of references to Kazushime's jOC suite having a memory test/benchmark but i can't find a copy of it anywhere (not on GitHub anymore)... Situation is unpatched V1 that keeps declaring software stopped because of...

    OK, I have 3 Lites, 2 came in with no backlight at all and one that i blew with a slipped probe while measuring voltages to fix the other 2. All have a new TPS61162 from Mouser, two have all the passives replaced from Switch donor boards and the third has all the original passives. All do the...

    USB-C data line open

    I have a switch that is working fine but will not load Hekate from RCM-1 or PC (yes, it is unpatched). When I try it has a black screen but doesn't do anything - and it requires a long power switch hold to get it powered off so it can boot normally. I suspected USB connector or electronics...

    Hardware Components used on the Switch (mostly the motherboard and main console)

    Ideas to troubleshoot a MB I inadvertently shorted. I really blew it - was working on a unpatched switch that was fine except bluetooth was weak - i was tearing it apart to clean and firmly install the Bluetooth antenna connector... Unfortunately i got interrupted after taking the back covers...

    Tutorial Switch Unbricking Guide - ProdInfo Fix (PikaFix)

    One more clue - every time it hangs on the Switch Logo screen, it takes longer to get it to power off and then it is out of AutoRCM - i have to use the jig and volume up to boot back to Hekate from my dongle. BUT Hekate reports it is still in AutoRCM! Not sure if this means anything or will...

    Tutorial Switch Unbricking Guide - ProdInfo Fix (PikaFix)

    Some Progress: it occurred to me that now the NAND was writing without issues (which stopped the original guide and convinced me to buy a new EMMC card) so maybe Such Meme, Many Skill's guide (Switch Unbrick Guide, MMC Rebuild section) and indeed it executed without issues. This guide uses...
