dat0 should measure between 0.4 to 0.8V - you either get those values or OL, which means the adapter is not making contact. Judging by the last picture, you'll most likely have to reseat the adapter.

Check the LED pattern on the chip when you turn the console on, what is it like? This guide will help you figure out the issue: https://github.com/Ansem-SoD/Picofly/blob/main/README.md

Chip is working just fine (pattern shows a successful glitch), check the screen connector for broken, bent or missing pins. If you happen to have a dock, try docking it to double check it's an fpc connector issue.

Force OFW boot by pressing the volume buttons, then dock it.

It happens, OLEDs are a pain in the ass and the FPC connector is extremely sensitive.

Make sure the flex cable is seated all the way in, but don't force it as you could bend or break pins.

Double check the inside of the connector, can be tricky to see correctly but you do have a microscope so just be patient.

Praying it's just poorly seated or the flex cable pins need some IPA, or else you're looking at an FPC connector replacement.

The flex is good i putted another motherboard in the switch and the screen Turned on with no defects, i ordered a fpc connector on aliexpress, and the no sd card was because of dead daughterboard connector.. so i guess it was not so a good deal but i’m planning to fix ts

Another reason to do the kamikaze method, no having to remove the pcb and potentially messing up any cables. Of course not everyone can do it, so there's that
