thats why they are called nintendos most hated connectorsXd

well most likley the only way to fix that is replacing the connector

is there a diagram for v1 flex uses on lite,v2,oled?

You will need to trim or bodge wire around to the point

just did dual mosfet. V2.65_I and v2.65 both tried w/ 47 ohm resistor, still blue->pink-> OFW
I noticed if you add 2x 47 ohm on all cmd, clk, dat0 lines, I have 3s glitching time, slightly longer than 47 ohm setup. But still, no luck.

No as long as you have latest fw flashed and working, Ignore the UNLOCK.bin

For some reason I keep trying the 2.5_toshiba_fix but realized it wasn't ready for seeed Xiao rp2040 support. Looks like I have to wait for next FW

Thanks brow

How about the D0 adapter
I see that D0 adapter looks like doesnt fit with the line
Is that normal?

Yes, the adapter from my set moves up a little, I have Samsung memory. In fact, everything is very simple there, this cutout on the adapter (where the tail for touching the chip contact is displayed) exactly corresponds to the legs on the chip, respectively, twist it up and down a little and at some point it will stop spinning and go smoothly. I pulled out this tail to the contact several times, but then I bared the track with a needle, soldered a little tin and flattened it on a flat surface, turning it into a flat continuation of the track. And I made this tail shorter and then my adapter sat right up close. In general, carefully insert and check the value of the contact and case in diode mode. There should be a value in one position (- +) 0.4XX V, and in the other 0.8XX V (on multimeter in DIOD move)

You can carefully look under the chip and roughly see where the 3rd dot from the right is. Put some mark and lead a straight track of the adapter along it until you hit a point, then measure the values a multimeter and solder the adapter, pressing it a little. I'm sure you can handle it. Even if the adapter is severely damaged (and I tore out all possible points from it), it is easily restored with tin.

Hello need help @rehius and others.

I modded using picofly today and it didn't boot up. Remove everything, still no boot but miracle happened it turned on.close everything and that's it for today last afternoon. After testing all good. Now tried to gamble on turn off just recently and same problem won't turn on. Plugging to charger no icon.

But when it turned on(last miracle afternoon) USB, all Joycons work and wifi. Also I hear buzzing in the fan

just flash firmware 2.65 no unlock needed.



After flashing the firmware what colour was the led?

LED flash RED on rp2040-zero and rp2040-ONE after FW flashed, other board like XIAO and PICO doesnt matter and I know they work on my own SK HYNIX SWITCH LITE but not this poor TOSHIBA eMMC SWITCH LITE

My lite is toshiba emmc and it works.
Try the hwfly flex cable.

I doubt it has anything to do with the flex.

I find it very hard to believe that there was a problem with your clean soldering.
I can't find any reason other than the wiring is too short or you are not using flex cable.

Ebay
