Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

[mvmiranda]

What were the PCB specs you used on the cart checkout? I know there are a few specs in the project description, but there looks to be more/different options in the cart. Sorry, but never ordered these before.

Exactly the one proposed by the creator.
He changed the gerber a third time and acknowledged we can use 0.5oz Cu (18um).
That's the one I selected this time.

What's is the cost of the PCB adaptor including shipping?

What's is the cost of the PCB adaptor including shipping?

I am in the US and with shipping it was around $100. I only need 1 or 2, but the price was the same if I entered 5 or 500.
If anyone in the US is looking to do a group buy or will have a few extra, lmk.

I'm in Brazil and the shipping was 12 USD.

Is the minimum quantity 5?
I cant seem to select fewer

I think so. Play around with the quantity to see if the cost changes much.

i'm in brazil too, sao paulo.

i am currently waiting for a microscope, solder paste and hwfly lite to arrive. i've purchased those just to install the modchip on my oled.

would you sell me a unit of the qsb you ordered?

Sure!
Where did you get your OLED?
I'll open a conversation with you

While both chips Lite and Core work, which fits better and which is the “easier” install?

also...

How does one actually install that Adaptor? Do you slot the adaptor under the chip and heat the chip? Do you tin the little contact sticking out of the adaptor?

Well, IMO using a Lite leaves a cleaner install because of the chip profile, which is smaller them a Core.

Yes! You slide it under the chip. Although tinning it would not be needed I think it would be better to and then do a small reflow just to make sure there's a solid connection between the ball and the adapter.
Of course you'd measure it first, after sliding it in, just to make sure everything is OK before reflowing the eMMC.

This is how I'd do it, of course!

Cheers!

If you consider the modchip clones only, there are reports of some Hwfly core incompatibility, requiring DAT0 disconnection/reconnection when installed on a Switch OLED

So Hwfly lite would be the recommended one currently.

There's that, as well. LOL

Sx lite, and yup, my method was easier, but I don't think it is waaay easier than using an adapter like the pcbway one.

I just didn't want to wait until you guys decide if it is 0.1 or 0.13mm with how many copper micrometers. I was losing it. And then having it shipped here would take until 2022

Will you share with us how you've done it? Or atleast where did you get the infomation?

There was a guy told that he could mod the Oled without removing emmc nor using pcb adapter.

So I think there must be a source that we may have missed.

Sthetix, a Youtuber, posted on his Twitter how he modded his OLED.
He used a SATA connector pin cut to length.
He even showed a small video and picture of his installation.
Soon he'll upload a new video, I believe.

If anyone from the UK (or maybe Europe) is buying a batch of those adapters, let me know how much it'd be for one.

DAT0 ball is on the intersection of two “imaginary lines”: one aligned to the right border of the capacitor found on the bottom of this pic, another aligned to the border of the pad found on the right

I got the info from myself. I did use an adapter, didn't search for an alt point, just didn't use the pcbway one.
