You are to kind again , i just whant to achive @ModderFokker619 quality and swim to America.

You don't want to swim to america. Have you not seen any USA news ?

Xandroz · Aug 21, 2020

We all wanna swim to america man

Xandroz · Aug 21, 2020

Yea im weird its just easier for me under the microscope to solder sideways than top and bottom

I know v2 is easier to short, but for me i find them easier with the micro
I flipped the switch under the micro and soldered sideways

to get it done right, my tip sucks
And v2 tend to sit more flush to the caps with me than v1s no idea why.
Maybe thats the reason

I just received two switch lite from @ModderFokker619.

Excellent service and communication. I highly recommend him for US based instillation with very good price. Super nice guy.

Hello i had istalled the sx core in to the switch, it was flashing green and booting into the sx menu without problems. But after bit it doesnt boot at all and the modchip also doesnt flash. I tried turning it on while its connected and charging as well, so it probably isnt the battary beeing empty.

Anyone knows what it could be? DId my soldering short something?

tolate2020 · Aug 24, 2020

Taking the modchip apart and puting it togather seems to fix it for now atleast. What could have been the issue?

Modificatorul · Aug 24, 2020

@tolate2020

Ipa not dry yet ?
No pictures no ideea.

tolate2020 · Aug 24, 2020

It works after reassembling the modchip, so perhaps it just got loose somehow while installing.
Really panicked there for a few min lol.

Hey to all the modding people,

is it possible that any one of you knows the cap values of the caps where you solder from left to right?
I got a broken switch lite which had a sx core lite installed and broke.

I checked the CPU under the microscope and checked the continuity of the caps and all of them are reacting in both directions.
under the microscope I noticed that the two caps which the V2 is soldered to, is missing solder on one of the sides, the caps looks broke.

I wonder if that causes the continuity and if replacing them would fix it. but in order todo so, i need the values of the caps which i can't find

Thanks in advance

Do you mean all of them?

For SP1 & SP2 something like this should work:
MLCC 1.0UF 6.3V 0201
