The magsafe charger is dumb. If you take the wireless out of a wireless charger, you're just left with a regular charger.
Yes. They're stupidly easy to install in almost any device honestly. I add them to my DMG Gameboys.
Of course it isn't, it's a supersimple solder job with a prefab component. It's still cool to see people do these things, the more people that get exposed to simple electronics the better, there's still a quite common presumption that projects like these are difficult.
I did this about two weeks ago, and it eventually caused issues with charging if the console was fully dead, as in the example picture below.
It wouldn't accept charging from a USB cable at all in this state; I was forced to charge it wirelessly to get it to boot to the HOME Menu. I checked and no pins were bridged.
Sorry, I'm not very fond of those "life hack" video where you can archive something in the most convoluted way possible.
I already removed the wireless charging module for peace of mind. I don't care enough to use it often, let alone fix it.
I severely am missing the point of your issue; I don't see why streamlining useful functionality is a bad thing now. Is this is a life hack video all of a sudden?
Archive what?
Not if you keep it face down. But admittedly, the design of the switch lite is less ideal for this than literally any other handheld, due to the analog sticks. Hell if the analog sticks were at least on the same row, then they would act as a stand. As it is, the system will wobble while face down unless you rest it on something. Incidentally, a wireless charger might actually be good for this purpose even though it won't actually charge the console.
This. My experience with wireless charging across two different phones is that it isn't worth the hassle. I can't tell you how many times I pick up the phone and found that it hasn't been charging, or is unnecessarily hot, or both. Or when the phone goes to 0% and refuses to charge unless I take the cable out of the Qi pad and into the phone directly, which defeats the point. (The ease of doing this is perhaps the only good defense of wireless charging. You're never forced to commit to one method or the other, provided that the charger and the phone use the same type of..... oh crap, imagine using a micro USB charging stand with a type-C phone. LOL. Saaaaaaad.) I'm using one of those two phones I've mentioned to write this message as we speak, so there was nothing wrong with the phone itself. And it was years ago so I'd say it's a damn good quality phone.
