Hacking Can someone recommend an easy way to short pin 10 without taking apart the joycon?

[Taffy]

if only all hacks were that simple

How was this bug found? Did someone just decide to start bridging components of the Switch until something happened?

Watch someone spilled coke or something and somehow the tiny drop of coke landed on pins 10 and 7. JUST right there

lol the bug is not shorting the pins that puts it in download mode thats built in to the console for diag and firmware flashing in house

Most devices of this kind of complexity will have a debug/recovery/program mode. Such things are typically sought out by hackers as they have a long history of being able to do cool things.
I don't know what they would have read or seen (I imagine repair locations have something like this so someone might have sent some pictures) to find this, or if they had a dump of the boot code from something else (which is not likely to be very big, and being a debug/recovery thing will probably be right at the start of the code as well).

3D print a jig.

I ordered 3 on ebay for $4 shipped. If this doesn't work out I'll just buy a R joycon and solder the points together. I guess alternately you can use wire glue with a fine tip.

Oh. Sounds like something that would be hard without prior knowledge of where to look for these types of things.

Where at on ebay?

I wonder if right joycons will now spike in price, while left joycons will be able to be had for next to nothing..

Ah - the wonders of a market economy..

Can someone help me with the "Micro USB connector" ? Is this that small adapter from micro-USB to USB-c that comes with the galaxy s8? I've ordered a 3D printed one for $ 0,75

prolly

 

[natinusala]

I'd also be interested for the link, because you know the wire works but it's a little bit wonky

 

[MrMcTiller]

So, are there limitations on using Linux? Can you play games? Anything like that?

EDIT: Sorry, not on topic to the thread.

 

[natinusala]

The question is rather what are the possibilities. For now ? None, you can't even log in

But, didn't fail0verflow use Linux in a video?

If you live in the usa and mention you want the same thing I'm sure he will hook you up. I have the same name on eBay.

I have asked around and he the friendliest and cheapest

Linux is a kernel. Linux doesn't mean anything. You need a lot of additional software to make it work as you know it, and it's not yet public on the Switch

Lol. Literally I was in 3 GAME stores in UK asking for Right JoyCon only and they said that there is only Left left, or pair for 69 GBP. It's happening already.

Wait am I supposed to send him a message ? His store front is empty
