So I bought this $80 Switch Lite to experiment w/ the Pico Fly discussion going on over here:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/pikofly...-modchips-or-not.622701/page-14#post-10058218
With all the money I saved buying a broken Switch Lite I decided it was time to invest in those poor children of Extremerate engineers to ensure they can afford to go to college!
(In reality I just wanted an excuse to buy a Lite and custom mod it.)
Here’s what we’re starting with:
Cheap Switch Lite with a cracked screen
Laminated one piece screen replacement from Ali E https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804496995627.html
Extremerate soft touch shell (white)
Extremerate buttons (white)
Extremerate glass protector (white rim) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801218913400.html
Gulikit Hall Effect joysticks (joysticks in the switch are shot!)
Satifeye grip and case (there goes the budget)
HWFLY modchip (in case the Picofly thing doesn’t work) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803809562640.html
Rpi 2040-zero (in case the Picofly thing works out!) https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804090654134.html
Super tiny USB to UART adapter (want to mount it inside to UART-A since Lite has no Joycon rails)
Silver Magnetic USB cable (to connect to internal UART)
I’ll be following this guide and replacing things as I go
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nintendo+Switch+Lite+Screen+Assembly+Replacement/156978
I’ll add some more pics and links as I come across things that deviate from the guide or are just generally interesting…
I guess this might be mildly interesting…she’s completely stripped down. I hope I remember where all these screws go!
