Ok like the title says my chip decided to give a cyan light rite afer updating OFW on Sysnand on a V1 patched Switch i use emunand for backups. The light error code says FPGA error chip defective but its been working fine since install. I have installed a few of these chips but this is my own switch im worried that the offical update 17.0.1 bricked my chip. I have swapped the chip out for a new 1 and its back up and running no issues. i just thought i would share this info just incase its not a coincidence that it only errored after OFW update. The chip was insulated so it couldnt have shorted and was working perfect for around a year. Also windows doesnt detect the chip it just show a green light but isnt connecting for firmware update anymore.

I know some of the modchips aren't rewritable, but you can press boot and reset at the same time and PC should be able to detect it and allow you to place another firmware file into it.

The chip does'nt have the buttons on it for boot and reset but ill keep that in mind incase it happens with the new chip. Thanks

    I went to auction at a mom/pops video game store few months ago that was closing, and bought 11 slims for $200, 1 was DOA but 10 work fine. so hella deal. Already rgh3'ed 8 of them. But most younger kids don't even want anymore, unless it plays stupid "fortnight", or newer shit.
