Switch boot.dat error help

[impeeza]

Has anyone figured out what to do about this if your sd card slot is broken? Right now, I'm sitting with a bricked switch.

The only solution is to repair the sd card reader.

Yeah, I figured as much. Unfortunately, I bought a replacement, only to find out when I opened it that it's not the slot itself, but it's connection to the mobo. I carefully tried to remove the ribbon cable so I could possibly try ro touch up the solder joints, but doing so completely removed the ribbon connector from the board. I have all the parts, but I don't have a microscope capable of allowing me to do thw micro soldering to fix something this small and can find no one local or anywhere to do it. I've resorted to knowing it'll likely be bricked forever. I was just hoping someone maybe found a way around it by now.

This is very helpful, and I believe I have it somewhere, but I still need a microscope to even be able to see it. I'll be picking one up next week, and I suppose some new tips for my iron to be able to do work this incredibly small. Thanks.

yeah, I even with microscope have hard time, my eyes are no the same than 20 years ago.

I did buy

is cheap but good enough for the hobbyist, obviously if you are pro and work on that type of welding daily, invest on a 1000K+ one

Definitely bot a pro lol. If you say that one's good, I'll give it a go. I've looked at many of the cheapest ones and have been super reluctant due to the reviews. I may give it a try, seems like my only option at this point unfortunately.

for me work just fine, is no the best but for the small price you receive a ok product. the quality is not bad.

Well I just ordered it, so we shall see. Looks nice enough, especially for the $35 it's on sale for right now.

It looks great. While we're at it, do you have any tips you'd recommend? Heck, maybe even the iron used? Not sure mine is up to the task lol.

Buddy, I am only a fan I just make some small welding every now and then. I use a cheap welding station

A guide I did use for my first repair was:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/my-expe...ssfully-as-a-beginner-a-guide-of-sorts.648439

use a selectable temp iron and the lowest temp for your solder
