Honestly I'm a newbie and don't know where to check whether it's an OLED version or just a normal one

Well depends on what model you have, for V1/V2 unit you would get a core chip, Switch Lite use Lite chip, and OLED use OLED chip, assuming you have an OLED you need either an RP2040 Hwfly OLED, or an Instinct NX V6/V6S. Probably go with Instinct NX unless you can find older Hwfly V4/V5 chip.

An OLED Switch would have white JoyCons whereas a Switch Lite would have both the screen and non-removable controls combined.

You can get the chip on Aliexpress if you can solder well, if you can't solder hire someone to solder for you. What you have ? an OLED?
Is anybody here from Germany who could do this? Thanks in advance

Ok...

I have the potential to buy a Switch.
Person record it as "Unpatched" but I have no idea what she actually did to confirm (or not) that fact
I got their serial #.
Ismyswitchpatched tell me it is not patched
Damota Checker tell me it is not patched
Right here on Page 1 I got a "Potentially patched"
The Spreadsheet here show all 0069XX being unpatched so

Also basically every search on Google provide me with "Unpatched" as most return a listing that mention the XAW10074 or below are unpatched (it also seem to fit with what the sheet is telling in here with every 10074 working and the 1008X being hit or miss)

Serial start with XAW1 006978

So the *only* place that make me hesitant is that forum right here...

Only real way to know is to put the Switch into RCM mode and push a payload.

Back in April of 2023, a user reported a XAW1006592 as patched. This is why the first post on the forum lists XAW1066... as possibly patched. Now you are correct that on the spreadsheet, higher instances are reported as unpatched but that still doesn't discount that one user who had a low serial number as confirmed patched. This thread is where all of those "serial number checkers" derive their data from but aren't up-to-date with reports like these which makes this thread the most updated when it comes to all serial numbers. So yes, there is a chance your serial number is patched. It is difficult to gauge the likelihood but the ultimate test lies in sending a payload.
Then it's probably not patched. This forum was made in 2017 so it might not be super up-to-date.
Please do not spread misinformation. The first post was last edited back in May of last year so this thread is kept very well up-to-date, even moreso than those websites that claim to verify your serial number.

My apologies. I didn’t see the “last edited” tag at the bottom, just the 2017 post date at the top.

There's hope for a Xenosaga port.

Moved "down" found a XAW10062 which from everywhere is written as "in the clear".
Also ended up being 30$ cheaper *yeah!*.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
