Hi, im posting about my oled switch I modded with a hwfly v4 . I had to fix it after it stopped booting from a drop that dislodged the dat0 connector. After fixing it and reassembling it, the modchip glitches and boots perfectly, from flashing fast purple, to instant slowish flashing purple, to a solid green, and then the light goes off, but the screen stays black. Ive tried reseting it via putty and the two pins on the board itself, it trains like normal and then tries to boot like normal, but still no screen. Ive updated the hwfly as well. My diode values are normal at between .7v-.75v for 3.3v, A, C, and D, but B says 1.28v instead of 2v-3v. Did i brick my switch without knowing it? The screen is fresh and works perfect with another motherboard I have.

I followed this video but installed the FPCB before the description was updated to say to avoid it.

After it glitches connect the Switch to a PC via USB and see if an APX device shows up.

I had a very similar problem. The console was fine at first but it slowly deteriorated over time where false positive glitches would become more and more common. I sent it to my friend who identified the issue but to fix it he had to replace the whole chip (There may be a way to do it without replacing the chip but that's the most straight forward).

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
