Just installed the rp2040 custom board on my lite and it works great except for a few hiccups.
I managed to fix these issues in case someone runs into:
The boot and rst buttons are a bit high on the lite, they can be removed.
The LDO (the chip in the red box in the picture) has to be removed or it would break and cause problems, after a day of playing the console suddenly gets stuck and the CPU buzzed and it wouldn't power on, I thought the CPU was dead, but everything went back to normal after removing the LDO, looks like reverse current killed it.

Hello, can anyone help me 
? I damaged the right pad of cmd and my switch lite didn't turn on. I've reconnected the line, checked the connection again, but the switch still won't turn on. I installed the chip, it flashed purple, checked the connection at cmd clk but the switch still couldn't turn on. Is it because I messed up my emmc or something wrong?

Well. at this point, if you've removed, and replaced, and removed, and replaced that little flex cable over the battery connector in your lite, then it's possible you've got your console booting again, but you've killed part of the screen circuit...Hello, can anyone help me
Or you have been plugging the battery in and not plugging that flex cable back in, in which case, your screen won't turn on, because that goes to the daughter board that helps run the display.
Beautiful welds, perfect handwork.

plug it into your pc and press power. It should detect RCM mode, if it does something isn't connected properlyHello, can anyone help me
It is either the cmd has not been repaired or is not connected properly.Hello, can anyone help me
Flashing purple is a cmd error.
Try reseating your SD reader board at it's connector/see if it needs cleaning, or a pin is bent.
nah, its beyond my skill, I'll be sending it off to someone when I can be bothered
I had the same issue (only IPL works, blue screen with OFW) on Lite with damaged power IC MAX77812, replacement fixed the issue.
Please check the power IC and capacitors around it, could be the CPU power problem
In my case it was accidentally physically damaged during the modchip installation.
Since it boots into the IPL, the basic things like eMMC and CPU should be working. Looks like the power circuit is damaged somewhere
