Hacking Sx Core and Sx Lite , test Units Received

[izy]

After installing the SX core chip there is a slight bump on the back plastic plate of the console, right where the sx core nand sits. (Left side of the picture)
If I cut the aluminium plate does bump go away completely? View attachment 217227

yes it goes away if you cut

I'm an emotional wreck right now. What a fucking roller-coaster.

I nailed the initial install, nice clean joints... Booting fine. I'm a legend, celebrate with a couple of drinks. Time to reassemble.

Then I realised that the anchor points go BELOW the frame. Fuck. Had a decent solder bead on them and there was no way the shield was going on the way I had it installed.

I had some options, cut the shield to clear the solder beads, cut off the anchor points all together or try and flow the solder down to clear it. I chose the third option. Bad idea. Flashing blue... Waiting... Never goes green.

I put too much heat into it and SP2 had let go. Arctic MX5 is everywhere. My only option was to desolder and try again.

Clean the shit out of everything. I went way too hard on the thermal paste first time. It's a fucking mess. Can't even see the capacitor, I'm assuming I ripped it off.

Suddenly through the mess I see the cap! It's still attached. It's time to fire up the iron again.

I try a couple of warm up joints on the poor DDR3 ram I have been abusing as a test bed. I'm on fucking fire. Best work I have been doing yet. I decide that scotch whisky is like steroids for soldering. I'm rock solid.

I go in hard, confident with no hesitation. I feel like a samurai warrior who has studied the iron like it is an extension of my own body.

Fucking wrong.

The solder isn't taking. I'm prodding around like a 15 year old trying intercourse for the first time. Everything is dry and I'm poking in the wrong spots. Very quickly everything ends. There is solder fucking everywhere. I swear to god I have bridged SP2 to the capacitor on the right. It's a fucking mess.

For shits and giggles I figure I will plug it all in and see what happens. GREEN! Wtf? I dunno how but it's working.

I'm dumping the NAND now but I am sure I fucked it up. It's the worst job I have seen by far and there is no way I'm posting pics of this fucking abortion of an installation.

Wish me luck.

Very nice story, but with pictures will be better, go buy some solder wick and i will go buy some popcorn waiting for you next post .

Guys, after reading copious pages of this thread, I still don't figure out where to buy SX Core at a decent price, delivered before 1 month e with a decent amout of certainty about not receiveing a stone or an empty box (paypal seems useless for this type of buy, the same for aliexpress protection... so what?).
Can someone help?
I've read some suggestions for YF-1GAME Store, someone has good feedback for them?

I bought my SX-Lite from them and it only took a week to arrive.

 

[Xandroz]

Got my stuff ready waiting for the chips
What temp you guys use from experience
I got a thin tip too

So my switch is working great backups are installed and working fine so my kid is happy.

I would also like to install Android now so that I can use parsec to stream games from my pc for some lazy couch gaming when he goes to bed.

Any pointers/info/tutorials for installing Android on a switch with an sx core? Are there any specific differences I need to look out for as opposed to an unpatched unit?

Thanks.

Any news about the new switch update
1.1.0..... Please advise.?
