Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

No really sure, looks like he had to modify it quite a bit from all the wires.
Hopefully a more professional solution is made.

Its a core inside wired directly. Hekate will most likely be updated to support touch. Didn't think about doing it this way but pretty much the same. Pretty cool.

It's so fascinating that the BigN didn't do any kind of voltage glitch protection in BCT even in it's premium model even so many years of exploiting sxcore, hwfly and CFW itself.

Guess they just doesn't care enough for now.

I think people should try the lite chip might be better to use( the YouTuber only had a core chip . I think it's driver support for the screen that was the problem. I wonder how an original SX chip would be

In the video, it was clear to me that the console crashed in the main menu, as not only does the touch not work, the joycons controls too. Note that the battery meter is not marking.

Even in the face of these problems, it's wonderful to know that Nintendo hasn't taken any action against the BCT bug, just for Hekate to make some adjustments to the software to make them work well on Switch OLED.

They preferred investing in auctions against the SX Team since they're the only brand able to "reactivate" this bug on patched units. The problem is that hwfly is becoming so expensive and there is no sight of any other clone coming for the moment...
Every night I'm secretly dreaming of open-source programmable chips for our beloved consoles

After some tweaks it should work. My only concern is what about original SX chips would they crash to cus SX os is outdated and will never be updated .

Spacecraft-NX is the answer here.

But the original SX chips are useless unless reflashed with spacecraft. And some people who bought clones are claiming they have SX os on them not spacecraft.

yea it diff crash because there are no battery meter.. but its amazing sign. the question NOW is if a software upgrade is the only thing needed or is it possible that a the pin out changed.. even if its one pin it might be causing it to crash

That's the first time I heard that but it must be only a handful of people, because all the recent modchip install videos I see on the internet (which is at least 1 new daily), all run Spacecraft-NX.

Original SX core works correctily on 13.0.0+, without the need to fhash spacecraft, just have a modified boot.dat to chainload the Hekate.

but i meant like wouldnt it crash like hekate

The chip does its work correctly, no big deal since the SoC is the exact same as other Mariko units
Hekate crashes because it has not been made compatible for the OLED Switch components

ah ok just because i have an original sx lite left so im just curious if i would be able to use it.

Core n Lite are pretty much the same. They both should work.

ok but the only thing that worried me was how i would navigate around the sx menu to boot the hekate payload cus im assuming touch screen wouldnt work on the sx menu .

Use a custom boot.dat and leave sx menu forever

Why not flash it with Spacecraft-NX?

this is a little more dificult, but works too

really hope someone releases pictures of the solder points and stuff. if anyone finds anything please update this thread.
