[QUOTE="randy_w, post: 9775602, member: 552844"] Greetings! Just received my mod chip today and immediately installed it on my OLED switch, and it booted up instantly. Long story short I ordered the OLED special chip (without USB header, locked) by mistake, and was a bit worried about it being unstable. Turns out it's way better than I expected. It glitches and boots instantly every single time (purple LED flashes 3-5 times and it's done). My only complaint is the QSB for point A and D are a bit off, doesn't align properly so I had to solder jumper wires to these points (see photo for details). It would be great if they also expose point A, C and D on pcb so you can solder to them directly. This is the OLED special chip I ordered: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/TDi0hLj.png[/IMG] I noticed some sellers are including a newer variant of the QSB, not sure if that fixes the misalignment issue. My installation picture: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Lae55qF.jpg[/IMG] As you can see I used some jumper wire to solder to those pads on QSB, also the part extends to 3.3v and gnd points is a bit too long and arches up. I ended up throwing away the metal shield for soc and ram chips cause I wrapped it so bad during teardown and I can't even flatten it. Besides I think direct contact from heatpipe to the die also helps cooling. If anyone know how to remove the EMI shield please let me know. I still have another oled switch waiting to be modded lol. And success! Instant boot baby. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/4xz3Zoz.jpg[/IMG] So some final thoughts: Flashable oled chip is the best option since you can update its firmware. The oled special chip isn't that bad if you have one, just hoping they could improve the QSB in the future or expose all points on PCB so you can solder to them directly. Btw is it normal that hekate feels a bit laggy and joycons don't work on oled model? On original unpatched switch everything's smooth. [/QUOTE]
