Hello all. I recently received my switch back in the mail from a previously verified installed here in this thread that no longer is performing service. I received my lite back with no modification. My Lite is missing a couple of caps on the cpu due to a botched install attempt by myself, does anyone have any recommended US based verified sources for hardware repair at this level?

installing the SX lite at this point is a hefty bonus but I was really hoping to attempt to bring it back to life.

Sorry if it’s been asked before but there are so many pages to go through.

So i will say is not fake but can by foulty.
Also check if you have 2 partions on sd card in computer management/disk management, and try another micro sd card, i had a toshiba card not working on a v2 but working in a v1 unpached and a pny 512 with problems and rma.
Dude, my pny pro elite 512gb took a crap on me the other day too and just failed. Nothing was recognizing it so I did rma. If it happened to you with the same card, maybe the card is prone to fail on the switch or something.

I tested kingston canvas select, samsung evo plus, sandisk ultra with no problems, @Emeraldu know if after rma the Pny 512 card is working properly now, maybe is a compatibilty problem with some cards.

Theres a couple of amazon reviews that say the same thing about the card. They sometimes fail on v2 and switch lite. Mine was working fine for a couple of months then died on me so now they're sending me another one. I'll just have to back up everything in case it happens again after a couple of months. The only good thing pny has is lifetime warranty so they better keep sending them if they keep failing. No way of getting refund.

Maybe if Team xecuter had tought in a solderless way to do this , it would be easier and more people would be modding ,, but havin to purchase jewler glassess to do an install .
Here at least theres no interest whatsoever you can get new switch for mod with pro dongle , and a lot of people sell used and unused units trough facebook market and mercadolibre ( its like amazon and ebay together )

Around here in egypt i charge around 90 including the chip and people are seeing this as expensive

ill just finish my dozen chips that are left and will call it quits wont bother to invest further honestly
We have no ninjas here, and pretty much modding is legal around here :D no one cares but the chip and install price doesnt make sense to alot of users around here

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And i belive another solution will come just not now, as when they first announced it, it was mentioned that there will be a solderless option, i belive at least for the core thats possible, unless something went south

Re solderless...I only remember them (maybe not even TX, it was just the chatter by everyone else) saying it was probably possible but not recommended as it's a mobile console and wouldn't be very reliable. Any knock could dislodge pins etc.
Even solutions from generations past with points 50x bigger than those on the switch could shift and not work very well.

Or did some people think solderless meant dongle?

It works perfectly. The outer shell of the microSD is poor quality and can wear and tear faster than other SD card brands. So I wont remove it from my console unless I really don't have any choice.

    ooowwww a new way for me to beat NFS 510 :D @SylverReZ

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
