The issue that I am currently having to deal with, is getting the FPC ribbon cable (not the CPU), to have the connector facing towards the chip on the left-hand side of the motherboard. However, there is not enough slack for it to reach.

Could I reflow the cable or is there anything else that I could do to get this to work? This is my first time installing a Switch chip.

Thank you. :)

The modchip placement assuming you know where it resides should be an indicator how to solder the FPC. Obviously you soldered in the opposite direction.

Can you post a picture of the whole cable/install? I made the mistake on my first lite install because I didn't turn the flex cable correctly
