    Hardware *Project* Replacing a failing RAM chip on a New 3DS XL

    Another update, just found the right size of solder balls for the job. It's 0.30mm and it's the perfect size for it. I couldn't find any stencil for the life of me which means this is the go to method for now. Since this is a new skill for me it will take me another while to try and see if...

    Hardware *Project* Replacing a failing RAM chip on a New 3DS XL

    Little update: I decided to go and grab a donor board to see if the ram module was indeed epoxied or not and guess what... It isn't. It appears it's just the cpu which for the purposes of my fix is perfect. That means I can easily and reliably get the ram module I need from a donor. I just need...

    Hardware *Project* Replacing a failing RAM chip on a New 3DS XL

    Still, that would suggest that I'd need to do a reballing just to be sure the connection is solid. The console has humidity that I could find, but I'm concerned that the epoxy won't let me lift it even if heated

    Hardware *Project* Replacing a failing RAM chip on a New 3DS XL

    As the title says, I'm looking for resources on replacing the RAM module on a japanese New 3DS XL I just got. The console boots to menu, but then freezes after a few seconds. I got into the Nintendo hb discord group and the guys were very kind to help me find some diagnostic tools. Turns out my...

    Tutorial Region Changing the Wii U

    This new method makes my head spin :/ I've come back to this thread many times and I just can't seem to follow it. What was wrong about the method with the RP2040? That one was more streamlined, why was it ditched over this one? I'm legitimately curious

    Switch OLED missing the CMD capacitor

    Whats the resistor you used on the 3ds? I have a bunch of donor boards and I'm in a pinch trying to get a replacement 😭

    Hacking Sigpatches for Atmosphere (Hekate, fss0, fusee & package3)

    Didn't work, I just pasted and rewrote over the older folders and no dice. Same error. Do I need to edit anything?

    Hacking Sigpatches for Atmosphere (Hekate, fss0, fusee & package3)

    Hi, I need help on a switch that I can't figure out. PicoFly with RP2040 tiny has just been installed (no previous installation was made prior to this) and the switch is constantly checking if the software can be played. I've already verified that all my packages are up to date, sigpatches also...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    I Uninstalled it and left it without it last time, I even knocked a neighboring capacitor off the board by mistake which I have to re-attach lol. But 3 times I re-did the writing from scratch and it's just not working, so I doubt the soldering work is failing. I've done over 50 installations by...
