Switch Won't Turn On (Unpatched V1)
I'll get the unpatched part out of the way first. The serial starts with XAJ7003 which I believe is unpatched hardware that can be more easily modded. I don't intend to do this but it may be that the previous owner tried and bricked the console.
I bought a used "junk" switch from Japan and it failed test #1 - it doesn't turn on. No charging/battery icon and no signs of life. I did a bunch of tests listed below, and any parts or tools used are verified working from my store bought and still working fine Switch.
- Plug it in to charge for a few hours (official Switch charger to wall and USB to PC)
- Use a fully charged battery from a working Switch
- Hold the power button for 20s and then press again
- Open up and clean all ribbon cables and re-apply thermal paste
- Try to power on while docked in case the screen wasn't working
- Press the power button directly on the board/ribbon
- Test continuity on various things with multimeter (I don't really know what I'm doing here but everything I tested had continuity)
If I plug it into my computer it's listed in Device Manager as APX (!). Not sure if that means anything.
The internals were all very clean and beautiful other than a tiny bit of dust, which hopefully suggests nobody has opened it up to tinker before me.
I'm hoping someone could give me advice on what to try next.
Esta é uma boa pergunta?
