Switch OLED teardown V1/V2

This is correct.

i reckon its gonna be a while before we get them. so far the people who installed them dont want to share anything.

I'm sure soon as its always the 1st thing that gets done when new(ish) hardware drops.

one thing is people seem to think its impossible to get a chip but i can see them all over ali express.

Yes anyone can buy them on ali and there are cheaper places as well. The real ones are also out there if you know people.

ok so say person x finds the nand points.


what would be the installation process

HWFLY already have Space-Craft Nx
Originals your choice if you want to flash Space-Craft Nx or not
Solder flex cable to tegra and plug into chip
Solder nand points from mobo to chip

Power on boot.dat if TX
Power on space craft nx if not TX

Setup accordingly

what would the differences be between core installation and lite installation

Orientation to line up with cable/Lite I guess and where you solder to on the lite.

im interested to see which chip is better suited.

Most likely the core since that is what they used. It has a smaller form factor and easier to fit.

interesting, would one require more soldering/direct cabling than the other do you think

I got my OLED and bought a very expensive HWFLY Core off AliExpress...which will take a month to arrive. Given so much has developed in less than a week, I'm hoping we have some guides in a month! That'll make me a happy camper, as long as I don't botch the very difficult installation.

oh just looked its changed but for me it would arrive around end of october

It's ok I don't mind waiting for it, also waiting for the community to share really good instructions if they can. This is crucial and we can easily waste ~500USD if we screw up the motherboard and/or the modchip

how much did you pay for the chip

Eh? Anyone thats a novice in boardwork can figure out what the new NAND points are if they have a Switch Lite and a OLED. You just hot air the NAND chips off the boards of both consoles. Run a continuity test between each of the SX Lite's solder points on the Switch Lite and find which ballpoint on the NAND each solder point corresponds to. You'll have 4-5 pins, and probably a ground and a 3.3v power from elsewhere. The NAND pins for both systems should be identical. Then run a continuity test on the OLED's ball points to random spots on the motherboard and find where they come out. Those are the new solder points. Reball the NAND chips back to the Switches. You're done.

This is not hard and it's not like someone is hiding secret information that only some master hackers can decipher.

 

[Horizoncrosser]

does the core and lite chip need to a direct cable to a little power supply?

 

[Horizoncrosser]

Nothing helpful but I don't understand why they all post about how they get Atmosphere to run but when people ask questions they disappear.

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.

All you have to do is lift the EMMC chip and pin it out. Then install SX / HWFLY chip manually by using something like enamel coated wire etc etc
