[QUOTE="howardc64, post: 10388816, member: 546418"] Thanks for confirmation. The RCM trigger issue turns out to be If true cold boot (say just plug in battery), have to hold vol+ and pwr for a long time (say 20s?) I guess something (BOOT1?) need to shutdown and truly boot from scratch to enter RCM? Any power off via touch screen can be triggered into RCM instantly When running OFW (via Hekate) If hold down pwr button for long time. It will shut off and require a long time to trigger RCM. Presumably was completely powered down. Yes, eMMC appears to be good enough to run Hekate->Atmosphere/OFW Internal eMMC Info looks good. eMMC Benchmark shows good results on all 3 passes. [ATTACH alt="nyx20240326_200853.jpg"]428319[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="nyx20240326_200823.jpg"]428320[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="nyx20240326_200828.jpg"]428321[/ATTACH] ===== Current status is [LIST] [*]OFW 17.0.1 installed. Doesn't boot by itself like all other OFW versions tried (16.0.1, 13.2.1, 14.1.2) [*]Any cold boot (replug in battery, hold pwr button until screen turns off) require longer time to trigger RCM. I'm guessing this is normal. [*]Hekata can launch OFW. OFW works perfect. Turn off OFW and trigger RCM again instantly. [*]Sound magically started working after leaving Switch in OFW sleep overnight and on charger. [*]Dock works reliably as well with Nintendo HDMI cable.

Hekate->OFW will get pkg1 20240207... error indicating OFW 18.0.0 is installed. Rebuild NAND with < 18.0.0 OFW to recover from this. [/LIST] So pretty much everything work as expected except can't boot OFW on its own and fuses stuck on old.

However, system update (automatically choose 18.0.0 from pkg1 info later seen when booting Hekate) will go through reboot and fail to boot. So something about recent OFW releases (17.0.0 had the save file mgmt brick OFW issue) that seems doesn't like previous rebuilt NAND switches. A few things of note for someone that doesn't do these NAND rebuilds all the time and unfamiliar with timing of things [LIST] [*]Didn't know about the --no-autorcm no NAND rebuild, so got fooled thinking rebuilt NAND wasn't booting OFW on its own. [*]Cold boot (plug-in battery, holding power to shutdown OFW) takes awhile to trigger RCM compared to powering off by touch screen options. [/LIST] Anyway, I'll wait until Hekate/Atmos support latest OFW before trying again. So doesn't look like HW, rather latest OFW is causing some bricking. 14.1.2 worked as well (match fuse pattern). But no > 14.1.2 OFW rebuilt NAND will boot without RCM injection. All OFW system updates to 18.0.0 fails. [/QUOTE]

I went to a garage sell last saturday, and the lady had a PS2 for sale, but she had a sign on it that said "Nintendo -$50", had to laugh, almost bought but she didn't know if worked, and she didn't have controller or cables, so I passed.
