Nintendo switch OLED alt point for modchip install

[sean222]

There is a D0 flex pcb now to avoid reballing.

I saw this, it's crazy expensive with shipping! But could potentially save you a few hundred...

Where? A pcb file or ready made?

Where? A pcb file or ready made?

On pcbway. You need to upload the schematics file to their site and it gives you a quote. It was a minimum 5 piece order and around $80 USD with express shipping. But as mentioned, it was taken down.

 

[leerz]

i ordered it and uploaded the gerber with the correct spec, the engineer said the design is problematic despite having all configuration correct

 

[de9ed]

it's been taken down
on pcbway

do you mind sharing the design?

Trying to fit in an hwfly lite. Switch still boots after NAND reball, but while reassembling I've knocked off two 0201's here, and retrieved only one (a 10k). Would anyone with an opened up OLED be so kind to measure them?

 

[kerelenko]

It Lite better than Core for the OLED model?

 

[doom95]

It's a little smaller and since it's mostly going to be about running wires the smaller one is a little easier to fit inside.

lite fit easier. I remember seeing people flipping sx core around to fit within the OLED.

Does anyone want to group buy for the PCBWAY Dat0 breakout? If there is interest In North America. I can purchase it and split it.

or if anyone has extra can split me a few. Thanks

Dirtypcbs has 10x10cm with 10pcs about 85€. That's a lot of adapters, like 1000pcs. That divided, it's about 8,5cnt per piece.
It is 0,4mm thickness, and i see on the pcbway description says 0,1mm.
I don't have the new switch but i don't think it needs to be that thin. I can measure it with some other device with same memory and see.

 

[kerelenko]

Would be interested to do group by. But I am not sure if pcbway can manufacture it.

anyway i am going to order a bunch off pcbway

I measured, and 0,19mm - 0,20mm is absolute maximum that can fit under the chip.
But who made that design to the pcbway?
Doesn't look like it's been thought throught. It doesn't have anything that holds it against the D0 ball. I would expect the pcb to be little longer so it can hold against the RF shield wall to give some pressure to the connection.

 

[leerz]

i hope they approve of the designs this time. an engineer is evaluating it.

I think friction then Reflow the chip

 

[Rodel]

this is the method it works to my oled no need to remove the chip

You'll have to end up securing the flat yourself.
After you measure it and it's working I small drop of UV mask both sides should do the trick!

This = perfect. Loving the creativity from all of you!

That's what makes GBATemp the perfect place!
