Yeah true. It's pretty corrupt isn't it?I'm not an expert when it comes to international/ chinese law but you can be successfull if you are a western company. But I think that there is also a big "problem" with corruption, political agenda etc.

Yeah I've ordered from their site in the beginning of May and tried contacting them by their site's form, e-mail and even facebook page and I haven't received any word from them so far... I hope at least that if things go south, refunds are still an option...Both Lite and Core are now marked as sold out at ******. Hopefully those who managed to place the order will receive theirs
Yeah, bought from them at april 14. And nothing going on, first they shutdown their whatsapp, and now they even did not answer to mails. I started to think , that this is scam, but wait, i made a payment through paypal...Both Lite and Core are now marked as sold out at Hopefully those who managed to place the order will receive theirs
They are one of team-xecuter authorized resellers... I bought from them with this in mind. I don't think it's a scam based on this.Yeah, bought from them at april 14.

Gary I know you are reading this thread but no ill will toward you
The rumors always been are the factory is in Taiwan. As you know Mainland China don't have any power there.i dont know much about chinese law. however i do know the chinese goverment makes the decisions.
tennent released the switch with nintendo in china. now i do know tennent is like 1000x bigger then the guys who produce the modchip. so tennent can easily find out who is all behind it in taiwan, china. now who would you think the chinese goverment would back up. tennent or some modchip makers in china? not to mention because of covid-19 and china already in a rough spot worldwide. it would look really bad that china would support a modchip maker over nintendo. sure the chinese dont really like the japanese people, but i can imagine they really dont care much about some modchip maker / specially if tennent has a deal with nintendo.

No. Uberchips went down, and owner said he was gonna refund people. He's still refunding people but SoulOfGazza is impatient. He even made a post about uberchips and encouraged people here to harass the owner of uberchips.What did they do to rip you off? You lose a bunch of money or something? Just wondering...

So, based on what we know about the form factor and size of the core and lite, what approach will you guys be taking to fit them?
I'm thinking of choices such as...
Standard solder or solder paste?
Remove the mainboard or leave it installed?
Thermal paste preference.
etc.
I'm feeling confident that I can make a decent job of it. My main concern is soldering to the two caps/resistors just below the die. They look tiny.
I'm considering using solder paste as I find it easier to work with and apply, though I'll practice on some scrap boards first. Anyone have any experience of using solder paste with this kind of installation?
Flux should make things much easier. Also get the thinnest solder you can buy. 0.5 or 0.6.
You can do this with the mainboard on. Removing it would be overkill but if you are comfortable with it, suit yourself.
I'd use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Arctic MX-4 or Mastergel. Just a good, regular, nonconductive thermal compound.
And get a magnifying glass with built in light and the smallest iron tip possible. Some may not need it, but it's still very good to have.
p.s. I'm talking about Core. The Lite I wouldn't try to do myself.
