Hello, I own a switch 2. bluetooth and wifi not working. I think the problem is either in the chip itself, or somewhere in the elements around it. Can I find a schematic somewhere?

My car is broken, what could be the problem?………..

It’s the same type of question, you need to provide more info for someone to help you.

But as this is a common problem that you could find really easy if you just search the forum.

Let me take a guess here:

You attempted to do a modchip installation on your switch or a customers and after that the wifi and bluetooth was broken?

Correct so far?

IF the above is correct you have probally damaged some things when you tried to remove the cpu shield.
Check your left side, broken traces or the 2 resistors next to the shield.

yes generally the wifi chip if you haven't messed with the switch, ive had switch where those two 10nf caps have been misplaced so worth checking those,

does the switch take a long time to boot on a switch logo.

i have mod,but the nintendo's wifi didn't work even before the mod, sense and before and after the mod there was no difference. Otherwise, the nintendo loads normally like time in my opinion. I want to check for any voltages on the elements around the wifi chip before replacing it. since I'm not very good at changing bga chips, the rest is not a problem. I bought the console second hand, and it had this problem. I found a similar thread on a forum on "tronics".but there was mainly discussing the replacement of the wifi chip, there were pictures of this part of the circuit board, but there was no information about the elements around the chip, I think there was a 4-pin chip that provides power to the wifi chip, but without a schematic it is difficult for me to orient myself for tracking voltages. Otherwise, from the console my wifi is on, but the wifi icon is pale and without any features, also the joycons do not connect to the console, but to the laptop there is no problem
The switch is V2..
if by "switch 2" you mean an oled, you probably forgot to reconnect the antennano , i mean

all i can tell you its for me its always the wifi chip or those 2 caps.
sometimes reflowing the wifi ic, gets it working again for a day

yeah guess you could check if the voltages are correct i suppose

Is there info about voltage and where exactly to measure?

    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.

    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol
