No LCD after HWFLY (v1 & Lite Install)

[P4RI4H]

I'm at my goddamn wits end with these things. Installed a HWFLY Lite and Core V1 for a FoaF, and now neither displays anything on LCD upon boot. The LCD cable was never unplugged and the batteries on both were unplugged immediately. If it was one time I would chalk it up to chance damage bit it's been twice now and I am about to tear my hair out. I've done everything I can think of. No bent pins, no damage anywhere. Backlight is fine.
I've even tried repeating LCD cable on both, just in case.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Post some high-res pics of both installs, this could help.

On the lite if you don't install the nand ribbon cable correctly it can short to display which it's the hardest one to do outside of oled installs.
Basically the nand solder points are very close to other points in the board underneath the ribbon you don't want to cross connect.

The v1 switch is extremely easy to install so that's a weird issue.


Sounds like this is your first time installing both of these and I wouldn't recommend anyone doing a lite without micro soldering experience and a good soldering iron with temperature control

But yes pictures would help

here are multiple examples on how the soldering job should look in advance

if your short here to here

your gonna have afun time

Ive done them all a couple times before without issue. I even sell premodded OLEDs on the side and Ive never had an issue except beeding to redo a dat0. With Core and Lite, I've never had this issue until these 2. I can assure beyond a doubt that there are no shorts with the core as it's just the SP1 & SP2 points. All ESD tools, and battery pulled IMMEDIATELY. The reason I'm so stumped is because I've done a few without issue and then suddenly the last 2 I did have the same problem.

You show me some of the jankiest soldering I have see in a while

Then say you sell pre mods

You said the first few were fine that's just luck you have been timebombing the entire time from those pictures

Cmon bro


What the fuck is this shit I'm guessing you don't show people your soldering beforehand

This is the kind of shit I got sent to repair back when I could still do installs before Nintendo cease and desisted me

Like seriously what are you using to solder some generic £5 eBay special or a butter knife and a lighter.

Doesn't matter if you have ESD tools most things are esd and your not directly touching any components anyhow

The only thing that's touching such things is your soldering iron which should have appropriate tip sizes and temperature control that is set correctly.
Usually in the 320-340c range with a small tip and good quality solder.

No including the fact it clearly looks like you have not used flux a single time here


When you do installs you do them properly regardless of who it is and extra attention if it's a favour because your the go-to guy now if it ever has issues down the line.

You desolder both the v1 and the lite , if the display works you can try again if you better be paying out switches

Before you wanna be a dick, I'm using Flux and a Weller soldering station OR a pinecil depending. If you aren't gonna be helpful, fuck off. Not my fault you're Butthurt over your c&d.

Says "janky" but then has this posted like all the solder is better and not even fused to the shield.

I agree with @izy on this one, your soldering suck @P4RI4H .

Soldering isn't the issue or else my failure rate would be higher than 2 out of ~40. The soldering is fine and unless youre s-tier, i dont want to hear that when its not the problem. And that's VERY constructive and conducive to the question at hand. What a great atmosphere we have here where someone asks for help and they get shit on and told "git gud".

Have you got any power draw with an ammeter?
So only backlight working on both

What points should I test? Backlight only, correct.

Seriously terrible soldering, you can't solder, looks like you used no flux.

An ammeter for power draw? To see if the console is actually booting. Pop the V1 into a dock. The console will boot without the lcd if damaged

I only have a multimeter. The v2 boots atmosphere and displays to a TV if docked.

Go fingerbang your bf Izy. I know my soldering is solid and my bank account agrees. How immature and toxic.

Lmao solid but looks like a chicken nugget couldn't even flow that shit properly

Solid enough your killing 2 displays and ask for help without trying to fully desolder then to see if problems persist beforehand

and i would know because i've repaired this kinda shit

never had to use so much flux in my life

also all your bank account agrees to is people to your scuffed installs who knows how long they last down the line.
I bet your rates are expensive aswell


also 40 installs is a cute amount in 2 and half years since the modchips came out,
thats about as much as i had in 1 month done during my escapades but like i digress nintendos cease and desisted 3 months later.

I already did that you moron. Don't you have a hobby? Oh wait, Nintendo sent you a c&d and I'm still making money. Must be with all that extra time you grief people online with 2 accounts to pat yourself on the back.

And if you're such the genius, surely you know what's wrong instead of griefing eh? And you assume I've been doing this since the day they came out. I only started selling pre-mods in August. Gfy, I'm done with the big-dick competition, troll.

so selling premods since august and you soldering like baked potato in february , guessing nintendo doesnt need to target consoles that will have issues down the line easier to target the good installers instead of the ones that give bad rep



sheesh

and i do make money, i can still do switch repairs, especially on shit installs from plebs who cant solder correctly

also how does anyone know you did that.
we asked you to do that and you never mentioned you did it. you just instead showed pictures of how bad the installs were

keep breaking things its good reputation for nintendo and good business for me

no thats how much solder was used on the nand flex i repaired literal ic's full submerged


and the brown gunk was the flux which i assume was for plumbing considering how hard to was to remove

heres some more images of it, they part of my cursed installs folder

also for the record this switch fully booted once it was all removed, and even accepted the chip after replaing the flex cables he destroyed
