In sthetix youtube, he cut it to avoid shortcut.

Weird, I just apply kapton tape on top of it.

there were people complaining yellow looks like there is an error.
so white should be more distinguishable. it is a very minor thing, I have no idea why people bring so much attention there. once the case is closed nobody really checks the LED

It is hoped that even if the box is closed, the state of the LED can still be seen through the heat dissipation hole, so as to judge the contact of the lead from the outside. No doubt, it has something to do with the designer.

Did anyone tried these mosfets or have knowledge about whether they would work or not?

1. EMMU function failure or damage
2. DAT0 DAT1 short circuit
3.EMMC DAT damage, normal installation + Picofly can enter third-party system

At 7:36 the trace is cut, to avoid shortcut with the adapter.

Never cut that traces and so far so good

Please, please, please for the love of all things that are good and nice, please do not cut your traces. You could just insulate them off

Will keep that in mind. What I keep learning from you guys is that going minimally invasive is always best.

I might have asked this before but I'm still making a mess of doing it, that is, cutting the shield before closing the switch. The sessions and knife I use are no clean way of doing it. I have a complete mini drill tools with all kinds of bits. Tried a few but were no good. Could someone point out the best bit for this kind of job for me?

So meny Repair mens use nipper tool. To cut oled mmc shell cpu shell.

I'd like to take a moment to thank this great community, Namely, @rehius @Dee87 @lightninjay and @deeps.
This is a great time to be around the Switch modding scene. Great stuff everyday. I can't get used to the euphoric feeling when I successfully glitch a Switch, it's just amazing.

This is my record:

Failed Glitches:
Five OLEDs
Two Lites
One V1

Successful Glitches:
Ten OLEDS
Four Normal (two V1s, two V2s)
One Lite

Loving it.

How are you getting any fails?
Every install should work.
To be honest it will be down to soldering if you have any fails.

I use a small set of scissors.
You can see them in this video...

I wondered that too. 33% failure rate on OLED installs is extremely high. So every 1/3 OLEDs he works on gets bricked? That's not good odds and yeah sounds like a skill issue. Not trying to be a dick just I wouldn't be happy with that failure rate.

Do not buy from this seller, scammed me with the dangerous dat0 adaptors.
Advertise the good ones but ship the dangerous ones.
Be carefull

Hello world, I have a v2 that is in hekate and suddenly it starts in stock mode, without me having selected something, what can I do?

Stating a fact is not you being a dick, it’s just stating facts. The reason for that many failed consoles is blue screen of death. I killed many APUs because I grined the GND point on the APU. So that failure rate is very much well-deserved for not following Standards .

Ever since I figured it out and started using the shield as ground I have not had any failures. I’m well into my 6th console with straight success.

Too may posts in this tread, there won't be many ppl see this warning. It's better to give the seller a bad review, put the warning in the review. It will help both seller and buyers to avoid that adaptor.
