Hacking Sx Core and Sx Lite , test Units Received

[im0]

Here it is! Ordered on 17th June and arrived on 25th AM in London, UK with standard shipping. I didn't have chance to practice soldering but I'll all on Saturday - wish me luck! Looks doable. Yes, it's small but not scary small.

Could you send me the link to order? I cant find it on their website. I already ordered one somewhere else but you never know...

I think today I'm gonna receive the sx core

 

[SrsRobert]

I installed mine yesterday. Everything works fine. Side note, SXOS did not want to boot with a toshiba 128 gb card. the format didn't matter either. The card worked on a v1 switch but not v2. Weird...Anyway i used Sandisk and it worked.
In my opinion you guys should wait before installing anything besides your backups, too many unknowns and too little testing.

has anyone successfully installed sx core v2? How long does it take for your device from switch from blue led to green led after powering on the switch?

Done about 10 so far and they all vary

SX Core glitches the bootrom on boot so reults aren't 100% identical - Like RGH on Xbox 360

Have any issue with long boots check the ribbon cable and be very careful.

Have one insta booting after re-seating cable.

Damn it Nintendo got to Ozmodchips Australia. Is there anyone in Australia that is planning to do installs?

I've also done two v2 with very different results. One boots very fast, every time. The other one takes longer to boot in general and varies on boot noticeably.

Now waiting for the 0,2mm tip

I have done two v2 too. The first one boots very fast since first boot. The second one was booting very slow but days after days it started to boot very fast too. Now there is almost no difference between two v2 i soldered on boot times. Probably depends on modchip.

Ouch. This is cruel to watch. This is why there are anchor points.. not just for decoration.

That IS a clean install. I just ordered mine finally! Does anyone have a recommendation on whether to use a liquid or gel/paste based flux for this? I’ve seen variations of both in the videos I’ve been able to watch and save before YouTube/Nintendo takes them down.

 

[Redasx]

What happened?

High temperature.....is the main reason
