Hello everyone!
guys i have 2 nintendos switches, one functional but that was unable to read the nand.
the other one that had the nand intact but it doesn't turn on.
I've had these consoles for about 3 years, at the time I didn't have much experience in soldering and damaging the boards trying to replace the emmc chips from one to the other.
I didn't try to do a new reballing because the boards lost some pads. I believe it would work without these stray pads, but I haven't tried it yet.
above is the photo of the damaged boards.
above are the pictures of EMMC chips.
I already bought two new 32gb nands to follow the tutorial and try to restore these two switches

But I believe that the chips are in perfect condition and it would be possible to remove the data and inject it into the new chips I bought from China.
unfortunately I don't have a good emmc reader, like Medusa Pro 2 or UEFI box, they have a very high price and I don't know anyone who has one of those devices so they can read the chips for me.
while surfing through aliexpress i found some adapters for EMMC BGA 153 and 159
I got in touch with the seller and he said he could make me a version compatible with my chips, but I wouldn't have access to the data because of the encryption (which wouldn't be a problem because I wanted the RAW data).
so I bought the adapters, but I confess to being afraid to use them, so I came to you to ask for an opinion on how to proceed from now on.
Follow the photos of the adapters purchased.
well, so I humbly come here to ask you for an opinion on how to proceed from now on to successfully recover these two Nintendo Switches.
thank you all for your attention.
