    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    Thanks, should've thought of trying that. That said... I FIXED IT. YES! Working install finally!! Needed re-do the CPU cable was all.. You've no idea how pumped I am haha.. :D Thanks a ton to this community and all your help. Time to finish reassembly and play some games. Win! ** Edit...

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    I have an install that I updated to 0.6.2, that went fine, but it seems to get to the training stage, then after about 30 seconds, blinds orange a few times, and starts over. Ideas where to start? All my diode readings seem ok except dat0 is a bit high at 830.

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    The T3B station I picked up is 96w and the B version only supports the T210 or T115 handles. I was considering getting a T3A as well just because it does indeed support a wider variety of, albeit larger, handle and tip combinations. That said, the T115 tips feel very appropriately sized when...

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    Regarding soldering temperatures; I picked up one of the new Aixun T3B soldering stations with the T115 handle and various tips, and compared to the T12 unit I had it's incredibly quick to heat, keeps temperature stable, and the tips are much, much smaller. I've never been able to work with...

    Tutorial How to flash the HWFLY Clone chips

    I have tried multiple versions of the bootloader+firmware .BIN file (HW_RECOVER.BIN file the original post here, Bootloader_Firmware021_Stock.bin from Sthetix's github, the new 050 version including hand crafted versions of the bootloader and firmware), and can successfully program the chip via...

    Tutorial How to flash the HWFLY Clone chips

    Hoping someone has an insight into a new problem I'm having; I have one of the early first batch new 6 wire OLED chips, where it turns to a red LED when connected to USB, so I ordered a ST-LINK v2 programmer and followed Sthetix's guide on flashing it. The programming of the chip goes...

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    Just because this thread took a bit of a nose dive, and I actually did too on my first attempt haha... I cooked the SP2 cap in an attempt to "fix" the solder job as I wasn't getting past the blinking yellow learning stage. I got the "purple screen of death"... I ended up pulling the modchip...

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    Any ideas on why my RST point will not show a diode reading? Have tried with 3 multi-meters now, including a brand new one, same thing with all of them. I only get a reading if I reverse the leads and use red on the ground and black on the RST point. That said, with the new meter my readings...

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    Just tried, no go, still get a red light, after a quick single blue/purple blip. Before that I also tried checking the cpu connections, one wasn't the greatest looking, re-did that, but no effect either. Checking the other connections currently but they look pretty good, curious on my diode...

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    They all seem to be reading decently except potentially the RST, getting conflicting results on searching this value. Should it read a diode value? Some say no. I don't seem to get anything even directly from the board, and that was one of the easier wires to get attached. Edit: Tried...

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    My bad, getting a bit ahead of myself. Had watched that video just a while ago, but not quite that far through, as I've run into a problem.. I don't seem to get passed the yellow blinking LED "training" stage. Is this the "infinite glitching" they are referring to? Unfortunately my chip also...

    Can you share details on this?

    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: https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendo-switch-firmware-update-13-2-1-released-atmosphere-updated-to-1-2-6.606442/

    Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

    You used 36 AWG I'm guessing? Hoping? As that's what I ordered and received today. :D 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...

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