    Hardware Nintendo Switch heat sink problem

    I check the board again and it seems there is a little bow thats affecting 2 of the 3 screws. If i can find longer screws of the same size as the original it would fix it permanently. For now ill use a temporary fix till i can find proper screws. I guess 3 mins of heat is enough to start...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch heat sink problem

    Thanks for the reply. I did the refow with a heatgun and some flux. No more than 3 mins at about 350c. The blue screen went away and so far its working. Only one screw is really holding the heat sink in place. Can 3 mins of heat cause the board to bow? To me it just feels like the screw hole...

    Hardware Help needed with an unpatched BSOD switch

    @disco2001, thanks for the sugestion but it seems the issue in my case was the brand micro sd i was using. Hekate seems to be picky with the card it will detect. I use the micro sd i had in my other switch and it booted into hekate. I then chose launch sysnand and it booted normally. It seemed...

    Hardware Help needed with an unpatched BSOD switch

    I bought this switch on the cheap hoping i could bring it back to life. From what i've read a corrupt nand could be the cause as well as major hardware problems with the cpu/gpu. Hoping for the former i got a guide to downgrade the firmware in order to get it working again. I setup my sd card...
