Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

[HollowGrams]

ok but the only thing that worried me was how i would navigate around the sx menu to boot the hekate payload cus im assuming touch screen wouldnt work on the sx menu .

Should work with both chips
Will most likely need spacecraft-nx
Direct wire method



We need the final magic touch.

just saw on the chinese video it took him 6 hours to get the chip set up

That's cause hes a noob, nothing wrong with that. Shouldnt be more than 6-8 wires if that. We also have to consider where to cut the alumi heat plate to make this all fit. SInce in the video the fan was not present. Either way it all looks pretty straight forward.

I reckon if the lite chip is used we could move the main board of the SX chip to make space for the heat plate. But I'm not too sure since he seems to have done it quite messy.

Yeah, one chip will def fit better than the other. Guess we have to wait and see or get the hardware ourselves and test.

I have an installer they just need instructions on soldering points etc.

 

[Horizoncrosser]

That's what we're planning to do next week

Are you still planning on trying it out . If so what chip are you trying the core or lite

Ohh my god!

Ohh my god!

We need someone who will actually share what they did to attempt it now. As good as it is seeing all these people installing we need some information from them.

Looks like someone did try to install the Oled in a regular V1/V2 switch, but the connections are different :'(

Well he didn't have a clue by attempt you mean tried to just plug and play yeah.
Like I said before he had no clue literally was bamboozled by the fact the oled had no power ribbon for back-light.
Well yeah it's oled the pixels individually light up.

The lcd would work if there was a ribbon adapter but touch would be the main issue due to support.
Like how v2 digitizers wouldn't work on v1 boards.


Also the core in oled model would fit fine just remove the efi shielding it provides no real purpose other than being an fcc requirement.

Sorry could you explain what do you mean by this?

I swapped by V1 board in a V2 animal crossing switch, seems to be working fine so far.

Not all are compatible but you can fix that in Hekate.

Ahh i see, guess i got lucky

So what information do we need to be able to attempt a SX chip install. Is just the solder points

 

[lenselijer]

Yes, The V2 Flex cable fits apparently, we just need to find the 4 nand points on the motherboard and on the sx core, so we can connect them. This is because the nand chip is soldered now, just like on the switch lite, so we cannot use the connector on the sx core anymore.

I'm hoping I can use a lite chip

dont we already know the points on the sx core/lite so isnt it just the matter of finding the nand points on the oled.

This is correct.
