i wouldnt expect diagrams soon

i wouldnt expect diagrams soon

I would. Testers have theirs - Batch 1 about to be shipped - TX stated it in that order then diaguides. Would be pointless to have modchip and no way of installing it. Lets wait and see what they do I guess.

Batch 1 about to be shipped

I doubt it.

These are the developer kits for testing, after testing it will take some time to finalize the design or make some changes (if needed). Once done, they will start shipping pre-orders to consumers.

(at least that's what I understood from TX Chat)

Anyone notice they replace the USB port to micro usb? The usb-c should be round bezel on the end, and micro usb is curved outside on the top end of the port.

Get your eyes tested mate, thats clearly USB C

W00t! I am excited to get mine! (Well, and Marikos to return to MSRP.)

The core looks EZ to install! Looks like it plugs in where eMMC goes and the eMMC plus into it.

 

[matias3ds]

will have to wait

I’m assuming the USB plug is for updating the modchip and requires you to remove the back of your Switch to access. Not sure if it remains attached and tucked away somewhere or if you need to insert the ribbon cable each time you need to use it to update.

 

[JonJaded]

Looks really really interesting.

 

[matias3ds]

Lets hope to have more info and pics soon

No way I’m right, it can’t fool my eye, try googling the usb type-c female port, it’s supposed to be all round bezel to the end, the micro-USB have curved to the end.

actually the easiest way to tell is the 2 holes , on the type C they are all the way toward the back but on the micro USB they are middle to front orientated
you can always spot those little holes even in a bad resolution pic

 

[matias3ds]

Ok guys no fighting , i already ask it comes with Micro usb

To clarify in case anyone is confused reading through this - I don't think the micro usb replaces the usb-c. It's as analogue man said, probably used for updating the chip or something and you can plug it in as needed or it can get tucked somewhere under the cover maybe.

thats correct it doesnt replace it , is for update if wireless fails somehow

Hope some guy create a video showing how is the installation.

What I actually don't know how it is possible is people receiving their test units but not getting instructions of how to install it.
I understand that with the COVID situation the delivery times are slower than usual (even so, some units already arrived their destinations) but what's the point on trying to "wait" for most units to arrive if the whole purpose is to test the product? Seems like a vague excuse to me tbh.
I'll grab one of these once I see how difficult the installation is since I'm not exactly well versed with the soldering matter. Might pay someone to do it for my if I see the slightest chance to mess things up lol

End of the day it's irrelevant. When the instructions are sent out people can start to install. Of course a lot of people are still going to wait to purchase until testers have things installed and shown working.
