    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. When you said you couldn't find anything about this error, I took that literally and was just trying to be helpful. In fact, I owe you a big favor: it was because of this thread you started that I was able to pick up a broken WiiU and get it working perfectly...

    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    Well, there is some info: gamepad isn't synced according to that message. Maybe an issue with the wireless module not being properly inserted after reassembly? https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7222/~/error-code%3A-165-3423 A suggestion from Reddit: "Turn off the...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    My hacked Lite is on 2.73 on a Waveshare RP2040-Zero. I have seen people reporting problems when upgrading to 2.75, but it sounded like the real problem was with clone boards and not the upgrade process itself. Is upgrading to 2.75 considered safe for genuine Waveshare boards? It sounds like...

    Hardware Absolute fix to 160-1400 error

    Another success story! I did this on a Wii U that was being sold cheap for parts because the drive didn't work. Tested the paths before the repair and three out of four were open circuit. Didn't seem to make sense replacing old burned out parts with the exact same thing that would burn out in...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    @vulp_vibes already posted his diagram showing how he connected it. I'll just chime in to say that your approach to connecting to the rp2040 LED DO didn't work because Rehius's software assumes only one LED. These LEDs are actually serially addressable in a chain: the way you added the LED...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    To add to this, power is often distributed on planes rather than individual traces and the TDP is spread across different voltages. This is the picture I found doing a quick search on the Tegra X1 and it is probably the reference platform layout. One more thing... the average TDP of the 210...

    No. 2.74 was pulled. See below.

    "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". The rp2040 is only running at maximum clock speeds when glitching. When the glitch is finished, Rehius' code puts the chip into a very low power mode to save switch battery life where the chip itself isn't doing much work at all. I wouldn't worry about it...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    I wish I knew! Are people getting these things really hot??? As I said before, I'm not an expert in this area, but it would seem to be that a lot of other components would be much more sensitive to a non-ESD safe soldering iron than a resistor.

    The MOSFET gate is very high impedance, meaning the wire connected to it carries very little current. It is no surprise that the thicker wire made no difference for this connection.

    I'm not an expert in this particular area, but resistors are generally very robust. That 1/20W rating is the rating it can take all day long and at rated temps (like 70C). I'm sure it could briefly dissipate much higher power surges for a short period of time. It would seem to me that other...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Looks like around 50 mW. In this circuit, P=I^2 * R = (0.0007) ^ 2 * 4700 = 2 mW. No problem. They wouldn't have used such a tiny resistor if they were at all worried about power rating in a circuit in the range of 1.8V - 3.3V. The resistor value guarantees a safe design.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    So your theory is the 4k7 pullup is burning out because of whatever the pico puts out? This can't be it if so. The most the rp2040 can put out is 3.3V and the minimum 0V. Let's say that somehow a full 3.3V shows up across that 4k7 resistor. Basic Ohms Law says no more than 0.7 mA (3.3V /...

    Solder mask is applied to the board to prevent solder from sticking during manufacturing where they don't want it to stick. If there is solder mask on any test pads or whatever you want to solder to, you need to carefully scrape it away first. Here is somebody doing it on an old Atari 2600...

    I would also attribute a decent percentage of issues to bad components like the infamous three anchor "OAT0" adapter, but agree that the substantial majority is still installation issues. Have you scraped away the green solder mask from those points before applying the flux and attempting to...

    Yes, that was very confusing. There was an "old" 2.72 and a "new" 2.72. Not sure why it wasn't bumped to 2.73 after the fix.

    I wouldn't recommend this kit. The screws inside the switch are JIS-type as noted below. The PH screwdrivers in this kit could potentially strip the screws. The size is JIS 000 as noted in this iFixit guide. I have the iFixit screwdriver set that includes JIS-type ends and they work really...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    A note of caution here. If anyone is measuring these resistors in circuit, the values may not be accurate because the meter is measuring not just the resistor but all possible circuit paths between the two probes. The value measured in circuit will be the same or (potentially much) lower than...

    Can someone tell me if it is safe to briefly power on the Switch to test the hack without the heatsink and APU shield put back on? I'd like to quickly test the hack before reapplying the solder paste. At least as far as the PicoFly "No SD card" screen. All the way to Hekate would be a bonus.
