That is, simply, awesome!Just in case anyone wants to see the status led of the modchip: cut and strip a small piece of an optical cable and redirect the light from the led.
At my place, lots of seller/modder use core/clone core for their modding oled service. It ran without any issue.So, what about that bespoken DAT0 issue with HWFLY Core chips and the OLED. Is is true? I mean, do we need to disconnect DAT0 every time (or eventually) when booting the console?
Can anyone confirm or deny it? Is is an "urban legend"? LOL
I'm asking because my Lite stash is done and I've some Core laying around here and I still have 2 OLEDs to do.
Also, I've seen someone posting how we should install Core.
Does anyone have this pic at hand?
Thanks!
How does the core mod chip fit in the OLED, is there room to close the metal back panel?At my place, lots of seller/modder use core/clone core for their modding oled service. It ran without any issue.
I say the person told us about dat0 connect issue with clone core, is bad luck. Maybe his clone was on bad batch production. Maybe his was v1 v2, not v3, even bad v3, the odd like 1%, I don't know.
I don't know how they fit it in, they never show. But lite chip fits perfect.How does the core mod chip fit in the OLED, is there room to close the metal back panel?
this is really nice mod very usefullJust in case anyone wants to see the status led of the modchip: cut and strip a small piece of an optical cable and redirect the light from the led.
yes like I told earlier I also use hwfly and as long as I exprienced it boots faster and also never failedAt my place, lots of seller/modder use core/clone core for their modding oled service. It ran without any issue.

Cores are almost same size if not smaller footprint. Im sure you can fit either in there nice and snuggly. No need to cut the chip honestly. In fact cut the alumi heat plate to acommadate the Core.I was considering cutting the Core "excess". Like so:

What do you guys think?
Of course the chip would be ruined, but at least I think it'd fit better.

I have an SX core laying around and was thinking it would be better to use that and be able to flash/upgrade Spacecraft. If you do try this, let us know your results. I am interestedRight!
At least, if your OLED dies, god forbid or if, for whatever reason you need to removed the chip to use in a V1 or V2, you'd still have a working one.
Someone posted this picture here in this thread some pages ago (I don't remember).

I'll try fitting the Cores like so.
wow niceI finally did it guys...couldn't have done it with the help of @sthetix on Twitter. His diagrams and videos were great. I don't have the tools to properly reflow the eMMC so I bought the DAT0 adapter off PCBWay. Originally got the SX Core and realized it was too big, possible, but was too much of a headache...so I threw that SX Core in my original V1 Switch just for fun. Picked up a HWFLY Lite for this. Fits beautfully. Got the red light on boot many times, had to completely disassemble and check all points with a mulitimeter and reflow/rewire a few points. Definitely the most difficult, time consuming, and expensive mod I've ever done, but it was worth it...fun, educational, and hella stressful
Edit: If anyone in Canada needs the DAT0 adapter (only shipping within Canada, pay me via Paypal) then PM me.
Where did you get it from? And without reballing it, how is the alignment wire attaching to the point under the Emmc? Just direct pressure?Got my align me flex pcbs. Now waiting for the hwfly to arrive. Here's a size comparison with my thumb.
wow nice
Did you use a microscope?
Do you have much expereience with soldering/micro soldering before?
How hard was it to do the micro soldering?
I have soldering a few things here and there, no real experience with micro solder though.
