Leave it outside in the sun for a few minutes on a sunny day

btw is it possible use v1 flex on lite???

lite?

 

[nico77]

lite?

yep lite

 

[SQc04]

yep lite

lite must use V2

is there a way mod flex v1 for lite?

so i manage to solder mosfet to wire (its crazy hard)
basicly, i make their legs....
cuz i dont wanted the wire came off, im gonna use uv mask....

but...
how to use this uv mask ???
i never try use them ?
should i use brush or toothpick ?
how to dry them fast ? without uv light ? ( idont have uv light)

I apply mine with the head of a wooden toothpick with a decent point, but something else I do is use a purple laser pointer that ultimately emits UV light. It cures my UV resin in literal seconds, you can get one off Amazon for about 10 dollars US

I use the point on my precision tweezers, and I bought a UV lamp from AliExpress that turns off automatically after the a certain amount of time

Yes, but the other cap shouldn't show continuity

I removed the second capacitor and the short went away, so that was the problem, now I have to put at least one of the capacitors, or does the console work without them?

Solder points are different from the v2 flex. If you want it to mod you need to use a jumper for the cap but it is very hard to solder a joint to a cap.

yes, there are someone have already done that in this thread

hello, I had an accident and that capacitor is no longer there, also the other capacitor where the mosfet is connected shows continuity on both sides, I suppose it is because this capacitor is no longer there, any advice?

switch can work normally without this cap. you should get continuity if you have already connect the mosfet to capacitor

i have some images from someone post , mod his flex.. but i forgot who he was... , he cut the flex someway and still use>solder the caps, but he only use 2 point solder... but idk is he using lite or not...

the current situation is that the cpu does not have any of the capacitors where the mosfets are connected, does the console work the same without the 2 capacitors? or should I put at least one?

v2. lite, oled use the same flex cable, so if he modded for v2, it also works on lite

wonder who post this image?

View attachment 365913I guess it should work. afaik the capacitors do nothing in this setup.

Idk. You can trace the line to 2 upper point which the capacitors connected to, make sure not cut the line. you must connect 2 anchor point to the frame (it connects to GND and source of the mosfet) due to 2 lower point has been cut off.

FPGA can latch the signal value by the clock edge, rp2040 has to sniff the line in a software way. As already said, 3v3 / 1v8 issue (could be resolved by custom boards with level shifters)


could you please share hekate eMMC and DRAM information? soldering photos also may help. I still don't know the reason of that remaining issue

my friend's v2 using samsung emmc and samsung dram

Lite using toshiba emmc and skhynix dram

Switch revived from the dead!

For any newbies, take this picture as proof that even the most horrible looking solder job can work just fine.

Thank you very much for help me ^-^! Can I solder the wire in the left pad to the left part of this instead?

I have reconnected the trace, checked the connection but the switch lite still won't turn on. It still powered on before I damaged the pads, repair it but still not working Does anyone know what is the cause, what should i check?
