Patched V1 SX Core (with a broken touch screen since I zombied this motherboard into a dropped device) - never activated SX Core License.
Touch screen doesn't work. Has aftermarket LCD screen + OEM V2 Digitizer (which may or not be working due to possibly mangled ribbon cable on arrival).

I wanted to see if it was the game card causing the reason for the Patched V1 touch screen not working, since I already replaced the digitizer 2x, 1st was aftermarket digitizer-- it only worked in a couple corners and that was it... and then an OEM V2 Digitizer which I can't see if it works at all since I'm stuck in the 3 menus on the SX OS Menu which touching them didn't work (joycons didn't work either on the menus), when before with the 1st aftermarket digitizer and another mobo I was in the traditional Nintendo switch menu where I could click the corners and it'd show some sign of working (that was previous to zombifying the sx core mobo into this broken Switch)

What am I looking at troubleshooting (how?) / replacing on the Patched V1 SX Core?

Thanks again for any help.

Edit: I originally had 2 switches having issues, now only 1 Switch with an issue, I fixed the other which had the 2162-0002 error and no touch (I had to remove the game card (original to the system), start the switch, it cleared the error, then reinstalled the game card, touch all came back and no error; it worked, so I removed all the added words for it.

Ok, edited post. I now only have the issue with the patched V1 SX Core with no touch capability. How do I go about testing the touch screen to see if it works if the ribbon cable looks a bit mangled or to see if it's a game card issue?

Thanks

Did some more testing. The V1 Patched SX Core game card works (tested in another working switch), but I've concluded the digitizer does not. I believe it was due to the digitizer arriving with the ribbon cable a bit mangled.

I bought another LCD/screen OEM assembly (receiving in a couple days) so I just have to swap the mobo/gamecard over..
I will be taking pictures of the ribbon to post on here for yea/nay on if it is the reason for not working on the current one I have.

I have a feeling the OEM switch digitizer is shot because of the ribbon and everything else is working.
I didn't want to keep futzing around with trying to put different digitizers on and spending more to try and figure out what works and what doesn't since I'm not a designated shop where I'll recoup $$$. I didn't realize how much I was spending and how fast it was adding up to try and fix the Switch until I looked back at it.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
