"The flex PCB up top is just garbage...takes ALOT of time to get it right, I even cut off part of it and manually wired 3.3v and ground.
TLDR: This new OLED model is poorly designed, but works. Be prepared to put in extra time to install it properly."
Yea... think I'll stick with the one in the video I posted (but not with the dat0 adapter that it comes with)...
The dat0 adapter that comes with it is fine better than the switch lites one with a 3.3v solder point.
And yeah too bad about the price they raised it like 50 dollars
I've seen people report EMMC problems with those small corner adapters though. Even after checking with a meter both before and after getting it in place. A different installer (other than sthetix) specifically mentions this and uses the other adapter in his own install video.
Just go back in this thread. The link has been posted before, although the seller doesn’t have a pic of it, just an icon of the shop, because the page lets you choose between 3 different models…
Edit: here. $120 when you select OLED. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.1.670855e0aHFKse

Had a similar problem except the diagram I was using showed the yellow circle as the 3.3v line to solder to. Got instant red light. Saw an older diagram where the 3.3v was on a cap to the right of the emmc, so soldered there and everything works.
I have a spare original sx core that I never got around to installing. Was wondering if it would work on an OLED switch. I know there have been a few issues and it would be best to just get the latest oled chips and it would probably be easier to solder but I would like to know if its possible and what possible issues I may have.
So far I've read that :
1) there is a wire that I may need to disconnect/reconnect when booting the oled switch
2) flashing the sx core chip with spacecraft (not sure which version is the best)
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks all!

I believe to reduce the transfer speed of dat0 or it would not be able to detect if using SX core.
Remember I told you that my OLED keeps turning red when I reboot? Stethix told me it should be the dat0 adapter and it needs to be changed to the new one, anchored to the ground and if possible EMMC reflowed. He says the flashing purple then red during boot is the symptom and is quite common since the dat0 adapter is just held down by friction.
Hi! I have seen a few videos where they bridge the two tops and two bottoms on your red circle. I have a feeling that is wrong. Should I be bridging or should I just be taking the 3.2-3.3 from the bottom right in the red circle?It's really easy to "mess up" when we're too focused on "fixing it"
Sometimes we need to take 2 steps back to see the bigger picture!
I'm glad you found the issue!
Way to go, mate!
