    Trying to find info on this strange looking 2A03 on my NES

    I've opened dozens of NES's and l've never seen a 2A03 that looks like this before. Really stands out to me. Been searching the web for awhile but can't find anything on it. Kinda looks like a Rockwell 6502 chip and it has a Mexico stamp on the underside. Thinking maybe Nintendo had another...

    Hardware What brand is the cooling fan in the Nintendo Seitch?

    My Switch fan is dead, and I prefer to replace the fan with whatever brand of fan the switch has from the factory. There are so many options on eBay. Does anyone know? Thanks. also, what is the best thermal paste?

    Hardware I need a new fan for me Switch

    So after about 4000 hours, the fan on my launch Switch is starting to go. I think the bearing has gone bad. It ‘sometimes’ won’t spin and causes my switch to kind of vibrate and make a grinding sound especially in handheld mode. What is the best fan to buy for the OG Switch? I see lots on eBay...

    Hacking Switch Informations by serial number - READ THE FIRST POST before asking questions

    Question... How many switches were made for launch? I have a launch Switch with a XAW100028xxxxx serial. So almost 3 million. But there are many XAJ Switches from launch too. I believe there are XAW4's and XAW7's too. So are the numbers really consecutive? Or do one of the number digits perhaps...

    Hardware How many hardware revisions does the Switch have?

    Mine does exactly what you just mentioned and it's a launch day Switch. If it's in sleep mode with a game running the fan sometimes revs up to max when I wake it up. It does not do this every time and never when docked. Actually the fan never gets anywhere close to this fast docked unless I am...

    Gaming Sonic Mania and Redeeming Coins

    I highly doubt you would get banned by playing the game early. Nintendo is well aware that retailers can break street dates and it's not the consumers fault. I got Mario Tennis 2 days early from some independent game store and they always break the street date. Never an issue.

    Gaming Sonic Mania and Redeeming Coins

    I noticed this too with Sonic Mania as well as Shaq Fu. I remember trying to redeem the coins on Shaq Fu every day for about a week with no success. I tried again about a month later and it worked.

    Gaming Question about online game

    Try restarting your Switch by holding down the power button for a few seconds. That'll refresh your console and hopefully solve your problem.

    Hardware How many hardware revisions does the Switch have?

    Very interesting. So I wonder if your Switch is the 20th little tweak, hardware revision, they have made to the Switch. All pictures I find online are HAC-CPU-01 but all of those are teardowns from around launch. I however have seen just one picture of a HAC-CPU-10 board. Most revision of older...

    Hardware How many hardware revisions does the Switch have?

    Aside from the new revision that just began rolling out that prevents hacking, does the Switch have any other minor revisions to the hardware? HAC-CPU-01 is the intital code on the motherboard from launch. Is there a HAC-CPU-02, 03, etc? I have always been interested in this kind of thing. The...
