    HWfly failed installation on Switch Lite. No boot after desolder.

    Success and works! Just to share: - I used green pcb mask and masked off the middle (several layers) there was a small small exposed copper in the middle (refer to pic) - Bridged the 2 points using solder paste Switch Lite sprung back to life.

    Hacking Hardware Repairing Switch Lite CLK/D point Pad

    Success and works! Just to share: - I used green pcb mask and masked off the middle (several layers) - Bridged the 2 points using solder paste Switch Lite sprung back to life. In summary, if you lose 1 or 2 or the pads as shown, make sure middle of the 2 pads are not touching ground and...

    Hacking Hardware Repairing Switch Lite CLK/D point Pad

    Hi, my current board has exactly as the same missing pads as those shown here (also due to hwfly mod 2nd time round). Previously, it only have 1 missing pad (ie left pad) and once I bridge it to the pad on the right (which was intac before), the switch boots. I then tried HWfly mod again but...

    HWfly failed installation on Switch Lite. No boot after desolder.

    Instead of "calling it a day", I decide to try the HWfly mod again and now I have 2 ripped pad at the location where the 1st ripped pad used to be... thus, the switch lite NO longer boots. I then tried to bridged the 2 inner exposed copper together but the switch still doesn't boot. It was...

    HWfly failed installation on Switch Lite. No boot after desolder.

    Hi. finally got the switch lite work again! Just to share: - Ripped pad is INDEED connected to eMMC & 100ohm resistor is required (as pointed by cilion & jkyoho) - I managed to "pool" solder paste into the ripped pad and bridge a thin wire to the pad next to it Then ALL good =) Thanks...

    Switch (MAX77812) cannot get pass 1st Stage Boot with current reading 116mA

    Appreciate the reply leez! I did a RCM test and it did trigger RCM. Following "FixMyApp" (similar to RetroSix) guide, it could be - Bad M92T36 IC - Bad eMMC module I then did a diode test around M92T36 IC area and all seems good except - 2 small one (ie in light blue box) where neither side...

    Switch (MAX77812) cannot get pass 1st Stage Boot with current reading 116mA

    Hi, I have a switch with MAX77812 chipset that draws 15V 0.46A (unassembled) but NO display and NO boot. After opening it up, I notice that there's a crack on the MAX77812 power module and on the inductors. Before swapping out the "obvious", I followed the guide from retrosix.wiki and on 1st...

    HWfly failed installation on Switch Lite. No boot after desolder.

    Thanks jkyoho, that really helps!! This forum really ROCKS with people like you!! There is a small "dot" on the ripped pad and maybe I'll try "flooding" it with solder paste and jump a wire to the pad next to it to see if it'll come to life... fingers crossed!

    HWfly failed installation on Switch Lite. No boot after desolder.

    Noted with thanks cillone and REALLY appreciate the reply! Just to double-check: If I want to continue on the mod, I have get it to "stick" to remaining copper (as per your reply). If I want decide to "abandon" the mod, the switch lite should be ok leaving it in it's current state (ie missing...

    HWfly failed installation on Switch Lite. No boot after desolder.

    I, too, was missing the same resistor and have just ordered it after reading the above post (and comments from all the contributors)... thank you =) Additional question: While doing the mod, I ripped a solder pad (shown on pic where the red box is). Is it crucial or can I just solder it to the...
