    Hardware HWFLY Modchip stuck in training

    Hey there, I've ran into a weird issue with a chip install. I've used a 4th gen HWFLY OLED chip for a switch lite (which I've done before many times) and the chip LED indicates that it is training. It pulses an orange/green LED and it does this for hours on end. Has anyone seen this issue...

    Hardware New 2DS XL turns on for a second then turns off with a speaker “pop"

    Got a New 2DS here that I bought off of ebay. Not sure of the history of the device but I assume it was a family owned console with no previous repair attempts. All of the ribbon cables look fine. The battery is charged at 4.16v so a dead battery shouldn’t be the issue. The only areas that...

    Hacking How can I transfer Nintendo Switch Skyrim Saves to PC?

    Hi there, I've got a question in regards to Skyrim saves. I'd like to transfer my Skyrim Switch saves to my PC but I'm not sure how I'd go about do it. Is it as simple as backing up a save via checkpoint and dragging that .sav file to the PC? I assume Skyrim won't be able to read that save...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch OLED - “Unable To Access SD Card”

    A month ago I received an OLED Switch that was in a house fire. I was able to get it working after cleaning out the corrosion and replacing the battery. Switch works fine and haven’t had any issues other than it not being able to read micro SD cards. There isn’t a lot of documentation on OLED...

    Hardware Failed to init eMMC, How Can I get Switch working again?

    I've got an unpatched switch with a dead eMMC module. No back up. What's the best way to move forward? It boots into hekate and loads payloads just fine but will obviously not boot into stock os. Any advice? Am I supposed to buy a wiped eMMC and flash a "back up" (I think I can just download...

    Hardware Switch Pulling 0.33A @ 4.98V / Weird "Shorts" around MAX77621 and BQ Only When Battery Is Connected

    This switch was pulling, I believe 0.33A at 4.98V and wouldn't turn on. Opened it up to investigate. When the battery is connected to the board "shorts" appears around the caps. Now I'm not sure if they're exactly ground shorts because in diode mode they give off "-568V". Again, the caps are...

    Hardware Hacking SXCORE Installation: Using V1 Flex Connector On V2 Switch?

    Can I use the V1 flex cable on the V2 switch APU? The caps are horizontal and the V1 flex is accommodated for vertical caps I believe. Can I use jumper wires and just solder the caps to their respective solder points?

    Hacking Need Guidance On Rebuilding EMMC

    I've got a switch that has a bad emmc and no backup for said emmc. The switch itself runs payloads fine (lockpick, hekate, prodinfo, etc) and i've got other working EMMCs from donor switch boards, so what do I need to do to setup the emmc on this switch? I know it's possible as I was reading...

    Hardware Different OEM switch chargers?

    Hopefully it’s not too hard to see in the pictures but there are pins “missing” in one OEM charger compared to another. Does anybody know why this might be? The reason I’m wondering is because the charger with the “full” set of pins is continuously frying the M9 ic on a particular switch I have...

    Hey there, I’ve got a switch with a shorted cap in between BQ and the coil next to it. With the coil, BQ ic, and the cap itself removed the short is still present.

    Hardware New M9T36 Replacements Shorting, Any Ideas?

    After replacing M9 for the second time (I took my time on this attempt making sure everything was good to go) the switch actually charged and worked for a while. At the end of the day I assumed all was well so I decided to factory reset so I can run CFW but upon taking the switch out of the dock...

    Hardware Is this an SOC issue or something else?

    Hey there, I replaced the charging port and M9 chip on this switch and it seemingly charges fine and boots but as you can see from the video it seems that the switch doesn’t display video. I’ve checked known working screen and it’s not the screen so it’s something to do with the motherboard. The...
