Hi everyone, I would like to share a negative experience I’m having with txswitch. I ordered 2 sx cores from them back in June and I received the package 2 months later, however I only received 1. I’ve tried to contact them for a week but they are not responding and have blocked me on messenger as I cannot send messages any more. Just be aware that if txswitch messes up your order they will not attempt to fix it. I would stay away from txswitch.com. I’ve started a paypal claim and hopefully that will be processed, otherwise I’ll contact my bank.

On another note where could I buy sx core that ships to USA?

Thanks, also I noticed you added some sort of tape to the nand. Is the nand supposed to be insulated?

I put kapton tape on exposed parts sx core and nand clip just the exposed test points, i'm exagerating with nand clip protection, and i covered the adezive remaing on nand clip with kapton to by easy to remove if is the case.

The easy and fast way is to put directly on last shield.

Well, since I could not find any solution anywhere to the blank screen issue, I went on and ordered a new Lite.
Will there be a problem installing the same SX Lite on the new NS Lite?
I never got past the "boot.dat" screen on my (now "blind") first NS Lite.

I' ve been messing with electronics since childhood ( in the '80s). Yes, everything is tiny on the Lite, but I managed to do it easily with a Hakko 926 soldering station and a Hakko 900 soldering iron that I have on my desk at this time. No microscope, no magnifying glass, no sweat.
It is quite easy, if you take your time. Everything worked as it should at first.

I assume that my fault was not thorougly isolating the chip module and/or the USB header of the debugging port. Something must have caused a short circuit when I assembled everything back together. I'll skip installing the USB port this time and cover the metal shield with insulating tape at the area over the SX Lite.
I' ll receive my new NS Lite tomorrow morning (in about 20 hours) . So I 'll post my results later on.

I hope that nothing was recorded on the SX Lite eeprom upon first boot on first the Lite, causing it not to work if I install it on my new Lite.

You have very good syght i don't think i can do this without maginification i haven't tried without.

Sx licence is ok if you didn't activated, is uses the emmc id to create a licence request dat, delete the old lic request.dat if is present on micro sd, i don't now if the new one overwrite the old one.
Good luck.

@Stiogun use 10 uf, 0402, 10v to by safe, maybe 1 uf is to low but you will not damage anything and 0.1 uf 0201 for the little one if is the case. switch service manual is not available , but i hope some day wii will have it.

[QUOTE = "Modificatorul, post: 9164539, member: 225456"] використовуйте 1 мкФ или 10 мкФ, 0402 и 0,1 мкФ 0201 для самых маленьких. Руководство по обслуживанию коммутатора недоступно, но я надеюсь, что когда-нибудь оно появится у Wii [/ QUOTE]
Thanks

I noticed that my SX Lite seems different than yours (as seen on your last photo). Mine also has three letters printed onto it (Check my last posted photo).
Are there any clones around or there are different versions available?

    If anything I think it's cool to be weird, or as I see it Original, fuck that trying to be like everyone else or look like the fad/style of everyone else. It may seem like you want to fit in with the crowd, but when you get older, you will see, it's ok to be out of the crowd.

    I don't like being autistic

    Always remember that how others treat you is a reflection of who THEY are as a person, not of how you are.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    My grand daughter is autistic. And incredibly brilliant at 7 yrs old.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    They said she can skip a grade, possibly 2, because shes "gifted". She scored higher in some tests recently than the lady has seen any other kid test in her 20 years here.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    But it was decided by her mom to keep her in her own age class. And I agree.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah autism has different levels for different people
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I believe that even in the most severe cases of autism, the person is still incredibly intelligent.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Even if they arent capable of demonstrating it to others
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Different symptoms affect people different
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @RedColoredStars What strain you smoking today? My buddy brought me some old school "Dumpster" today, skunky.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Lol peanut butter breath bud
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    @BigOnYa The same headcracker. I'll smoke that til it's gone before i get more. Sometimes when I shop I get all one strain, sometimes I get a few different ones.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I live in Ohio and they just legalized it rec, but I can't buy it online til june, but stores around are starting to sell it. Pricey. Cheaper to get from my man than stores still.
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    they just did here in MN too. last year, but there wont be any recreational dispensaries until 2025. I have a medical prescription so I use the medical dispensary

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Yup. Still cheaper for me to get it on the street too. But the guy that was selling me ounces for $150 moved and I dont know where to. lol
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    Now it's back to practically double that
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn $150 cheap, I'm paying 225-250
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I'd want to try drugs
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    yeah. like i said. its been back to almost double that now. same prices as you pretty much.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Supposedly us in Ohio can grow 2 plants per person in our house, and anybody else that can't grow them self, 2 for them. But I'm not sure how they are gonna limit or watch that, like are they gonna go house to house.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty No drugs are bad, mkay
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kansas shelved Marijuana again until next year
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Weed/Marijuana i would not consider as drugs personally. I'd have no problem if my kid came to me and said they smoked weed. Shit I'd ask what kind they got, and smoke with them. To me it's like smoking cigarettes. Actually I think Cigarettes are worse.
