Would it be possible to swap the cpu from a switch with a bad/cracked pcb to one with a shorted cpu? I know at least the nand would have to be swapped but would anything else prevent this from working?
There was a guy that did a 3ds some years agoAs far as I know, the Tegra CPU contains the unique console ID on which the encryption of the NAND is based.
If you swap both the NAND and the CPU, it should theoretically be possible.
But I haven't come across someone here with the tools and skills to swap a CPU as you probably need to reball it too.
Hello there,i have replace soc & nand on hac-10 , it's work good! wifi bluetooth... all ok.
SHORT answer NO.Hello there,
Just wondering if this can also work on different generations of APUs and boards
I mean, now we have the Switches of V1, V1 ipatched, V2 generations
Is there anyone knowing that if they have the same connection between the board and the APU?
Since I came across some boards with different generations, but I would like to interchange their APU and NAND
If it would work after interchanging them, I can bring alive 1 of the 2 boards
Also, another thought is the hackable features
If the hackability interchanged with the APUs, it will be interesting to see some new boards brought back to V1 and hackable.
Thanks for the reply.SHORT answer NO.
The v2 APU uses different power rail design and different power consumption.
my idea was to make an unpatched erista switch lite, would be funny to see.Sure this is all possible.
Not practical but possible.
Unless you can do insane BGA rework and can manage to create a new substrate for these things you won't have a shot at making it work. This mod would be ridiculously hard to pull off. Soldering the mod chips is chump change compared to what you would have to do.my idea was to make an unpatched erista switch lite, would be funny to see.
