Hacking Question Messed up Sx Core

[DeadNatsu]

Hey guys

Ready for a laugher?

I messed the installation up. Somehow I killed the v2 piece which get soldered to the transistors of the CPU. I can't believe that this piece will work the way it should.

I gave up and build the switch back together and it still works (lucky me I guess)

Anyhow does anybody know where I can get this piece? I really don't want to buy a complete new sx core set...

Maybe somebody who installed v1 on his switch and has the v2 in a drawer.

If anybody can help me out, you are my hero of the day!!

Seeing your picture, I suppose that the switch gets bricked at the next attempt...

That's really not what I wanted to read, but I think you are probably right..

I assume you applied way too much heat (maybe wrong temperature, solder attempt is too long and/or too often
Maybe do some solder attempts on old hardware, infront of your next try... The two caps come off easily.

Take a look here in this thread:

@Modificatorul posted there some videos from his repairs. You have to use a good amount of flux.

Take it to someone who installs, no offence but i can see blobs of solder

I can replace the caps on your console and install a flex if your willing to pay for the repair. I won't install the chip thats up for your to finalise.
