Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

[sean222]

Thanks, I was impressed by your installation, the cable management, all details are very, very nice. Congrats!

If you ever decide to get this version of the modchip, I bought mine from this link:

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mtd8u0G

Thanks! Yes I took my time and made everything perfect
I think I saw that link but didn't go for it because there was no picture I could've asked them for one I guess. Oh well, it's in the past. It's cheaper too!

That’s the trick, you take your time and you have to do it only once! In the end you actually save time because you don’t have to redo anything!

Yep, I asked the seller for a picture of the modchip before purchasing it.

What matters is that you successfully hacked it!

Have fun!

@lufeig , what wire gauge did you end up using? Any regrets or suggestions?

Here’s the link for the one I used on this installation:

https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0dHG60

It was recommended by sthetix, and I highly recommend it too.

It’s very easy to use, much easier than the enameled 0.1mm (38awg) wire I was using before.

You used 36 AWG I'm guessing? Hoping? As that's what I ordered and received today. I paid a lot more than aliexpress price, or I would have liked, but finding somewhere with decent shipping times to Canada wasn't easy. In case anyone needs it, there this site that carries something similar (PTFE encased stranded tinned copper 36AWG).

I actually ordered that same item from https://www.digikey.ca as I'm in Canada, and they offered one day shipping for $8 CDN.

Positive, AWG36 UL10064 wire.

Have fun with your installation! I enjoy more tinkering, installing and modding than actually playing the games.

Thanks for confirming. Also, in case anyone else was about to attempt this, make yourself aware of the 13.2.1 update that came out yesterday. There is a thread about it here:

I just re-flashed Lite chip (TX kind) to Spacecraft 0.2 on Oled but mine does not show up NO SD screen when no sd card inserted. Beside that, everything works fine.
Any ideas?

Its an issue related to the ram, nothing is affected except the no sd screen

How do you like the omnivise (assuming that's what I'm seeing)? I have 2 of them and they're great. I tried finding a knockoff version for awhile due to the price and was never able to find something even remotely close.

Use it daily and helps a ton with some switch repairs.

Hey all,

OLED switch with OLED chip (same as Sean222) What does a blue/purple light mean on the chip immediately after powering it on?

New OLED specific chip from AliExpress installed successfully. Not recommended for quick and easy installs. The flex PCB for the CPU bends too much, puts a bit of pressure on the CPU resistors in my opinion, but it's strong enough to hold, I'm not worried. The flex PCB up top is just garbage...takes ALOT of time to get it right, I even cut off part of it and manually wired 3.3v and ground.

TLDR: This new OLED model is poorly designed, but works. Be prepared to put in extra time to install it properly.

Hopefully this helps you out if you get this revision

Thanks for your pictures. I'm currently doing this install but have a question. The flex cable at the top, why are there two D points? The one near the top I understand comes from the DAT0 adapter on the backside, what is the purpose of the other D point?
