Hi guys, I bought a Nintendo switch V1 but it had a catch, the last owner tried to instal a pico fly, he didn't got to far since he ripped off the reset trace off the board, he didn't try to continue the installation, and the board is clear.

Since I got it I repaired the trace but didn't work, and I used a thicker wire to redo the trace and voilà is working!
At least was I thought... After a minute or so I went off, in order to turn it back on I have to remove the battery for a while and it's back on but still after a minute or so it goes off.

After a comparison with another switch that I have I only found one little thing missing, a capacitor on the emmc board, could it be the problem? Did anyone had something similar?
I will attach photos the before and after repair and the missing cap on mine and a photo for reference

Did you mean 'working' as in showing the Nintendo logo and booting?
If you need to remove the battery to turn it back on, it sounds like the Switch is resetting and 'waiting' in RCM mode again.
The previous owner might have wrecked something else as well.
Is the M92T36 charge controller maybe getting warm? Or maybe some other chips?
You ask the guys in the Picofly thread if they might know what the problem is.
