Hacking Just got my Sky3DS ! Pic inside

Simply lead isn't there for a random reason.... it's the best thing they found to reduce the melting point.
Lead-free solder tries to replace lead with other metals, and that of course affects the quality.

Lead-free solder has a higher Young's modulus than lead-based solder, making it more susceptible when deforming applied. When the PCB on which the electronic components are mounted is subject to bending stress due to warping, the solder joint deteriorates and fractures can appear. This effect is called solder cracking.[12] Another fault is Kirkendall voids which are microscopic cavities in solder. When two different types of metal that are in contact are heated, dispersion occurs (see also Kirkendall effect). Repeated thermal cycling cause the formation of voids which tends to cause solder cracks. Lead-free solder can cause short life cycles of products, as well as planned obsolescence.[12]

Plz, can we just talk about Sky3DS ?

.....lol it was your review on the MT card that led to excessive talks about its solder quality wasn't it maybe you should start doing reviews on solder types and soldering methods

anyways have you tried any pressure on the card in various places to see if you can get the card to read, and also did you test it before you cracked the case open?

Yeah, let's talk about the things your non functional card can do.

 

[RomAnOCrY]

lol Exact !

Both of my contact (shop and sky3DS Team) said to me the flashcard is working before shipping !

So , maybe it's my 3DS...

But isn't lead free solder made of alloys that melt at different temperatures?

it also relies heavily on fluxes to melt. Yes back to the topic at hand

Did you try sticking a few layers of adhesive tape to the lower back of the board (behind the contacts)?
It helped my GW Blue Card.

Yes i try it last night. Very hard to remove the card after plug it...but nothing.

 

[RomAnOCrY]

IT'S WORKING !!!!!!!!!!!!!

But doesn't your 3DS read your MT-Card?

IT'S WORKING !!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHOA

 

[Deleted-355425]

IT'S WORKING !!!!!!!!!!!!!

what source of black magic did you use to get it working

 

[RomAnOCrY]

But doesn't your 3DS read your MT-Card?

Yes, my 3DS read it perfectly !

It seams to be a defective contact. But i thinks it's my 3DS, not the sky3DS.

 

[gamesquest1]

guess you won't need to open that replacement 3ds then

better cancel your order before they ship

 

[RomAnOCrY]

Oh no, i don't want to update mine, so i'll try on 4.5 AND 9.2.0

 

[Vengenceonu]

try the emunand again.

 

[Queno138]

in classic mode

 

[milerwan]

EmuNAND on MT-Card is limited to 7.x system.
RomAnOCrY doesn't have Gateway card to access to 9.x firmware...

 

[RomAnOCrY]

I'll try on 7.x EmuNand classic mode.
edit:

So,
-EmuNAND Classic Mode (MT-CARD), it's work like i was in 4.5 .
-EmuNAND for launching MT-CARD --> no working.


Can i Use an EmuNAND 9.2.0 (Gateway launcher.dat) ?

Aw man, I do hope its not your own device, that'd be a pain.
Anyhow - looking forward to your findings and review!
