Unable to boot to home

[jrp3]

Hello!

To get this out of the way:
Both screens work, All Buttons work, Cartridge works, SD works, charging and wifi work.

I am unable to boot to home menu. I had a similar issue to a recent post, but felt I should make my own. I can load up CFW menus such as Godmode9 and Luma on startup, but when I try to go to home I get the same black screens as before.

i also want to add that the capture card DOES work with this device. I've just ran into this issue that i didnt have prior and hoped i could find some help.
my hours of research led me to dead ends so i assume its some solder error or something...

Seems like a CFW issue, I doubt it has anything to do with soldering or the capture card.
Is the SD card in? Does it need the SD card to boot?

the SD card is in and is able to be read by Godmode9. i have CFW on my NAND. same booting issue whether the SD card is in or out.
the reason i believe something I did was the cause is because it has worked fine every time in the past and i've never had this issue

i just dont understand why it is operable and the CFW menus boot on startup, but the actual home menu where all my games and stuff are wont?

leaving it on to see if it'll boot while i'm out doing stuff (CFW can take a long time so i assume maybe it's because the battery was removed).

i wonder if there is anything hardware related that may have caused this? loose ribbon cable or something?

also i had a backup nand from before i started and i restored to that nand and still nothing. i'll try some more stuff in a bit and update if i find anything.

update: no boot after being on for hours lol

i'm seeing that a mistake i thought i cleaned up still lingers. some solder fell in this area by mistake and i thought i got it all with the solder sucker.

could this be why?

It's possible, yes.
