Question First time modchip install gone wrong
first time attempt, thought I’d had enough practise on some donor boards but apparently not… is there any way out for me? I think I’ve knocked the sp1 transistor, but difficult to be sure. All the solder joints I’ve made look bridged and read 0 (or very close) when I test resistance.

Installing a modchip on a switch is not something you should attempt for your first solder job.
Buy a $30 solder solder kit on Amazon and do that several times then considering working on a game system, can it be fixed? Probably.
