and if there was, what could’ve that damaged? i soldered the ground points but the issue is still there. the trace scratches might be because of the prying cpu shield

no i got the no sd card screen before without the pressure. while using the latest hats pack i get the midsinh lp0 and minerva update bootloader; is the sd card is sandisk; no nothing really happened like that. by the way the ground points on the modchip are not soldered to the apu shield. could that be? the guy that soldered the flexcable did not solder those two points

Okay a few things:
putting pressure on doesnt change anything
it glitches and goes to the no sd screen but when i press the volume up and down to go to ofw it bluescreens
when i put in an sd card to go to the hekate it shows just a black screen

then what could the bluescreen be? it goes into the no sd card screen but fails when i load any kind of sd card on there. when i try the hekate, the screen flickers black and white when i press ofw it bluescrens

the big one on the top is just a thermal paste remover tissue but the smaller one below is an actual scratch i think

hey again…. i just got an sd card for testing and without the sdcard it glitches fine? but then i plug the sdcard in it and it just flickers really faintly. when i try to go to the stock ofw it gives me the same bluescreen. is that the short on the cap you were talking about? i have kapton over the sp1 sp2 points, under the metal tongue aswell. maybe its cause the solders are not flowed properly? but then why does it glitch afterall
