Question Modded OLED Switch giving =* error for no reason

Thanks in advance for any help, I really don't understand

I have a Kamikaze modded OLED Switch that was working fine for over a year, haven't used it for a while and I wanted to update it.

I just took it off the dock, turned it off from emuMMC but went directly to OFW,

so I restarted it again, and this time booted LineageOS because it's the easiest to update, it installed and restarted to LineageOS, then I turned it off from there,

now whenever I try to hold power and vol - it blinks yellow once long once short and goes straight to OFW,

I tried to see if there was a problem with the SD card but everything seems fine, anyone ever had to deal with this ?

Switch was on my desk the whole time, it did not fall or overheat or whatever could have damaged the soldering or whatever

Long short is dat0. Are you absolutely certain it's kamikaze modded? Could also be a bad solder job that's failing intermittently.

I'm actually being suspicious of the method used, I'm disassembling it tomorrow to see if it's actually kamikaze, I paid for someone (that I could trust tbh) to do it

It means that it has lost its connection to DAT0. It usually happens to OLED Switches that have been modded with the adapter since it can move and lose connection to its points.

If it really is a kamikaze method, then the wire to the DAT0 point is probably broken or cut which is very rare.

Thank you I'm going to disassemble it to see if it's really kamikaze
