I've hit a gold mine! I work at the technology center at which the Switch preview tour was held. My boss had a technician unlock the Switch display case to correct hardware issues. Afterwards, the keys were returned to my boss. With a watchful eye and a bit of snooping around, I finally obtained the keys! I was able to convince my boss to let me 'work late,' and unlocked the display case. I hastily unplugged the peripherals, but no damage was done. I can't believe how easy it was to take, but I'm attempting to avoid legal trouble. I've now reconnected the proper peripherals and currently the console's display and cpu is functioning properly. However, I can only play certain games for set intervals. How can I modify the console to function normally (e.g. a normal Switch)? If anyone could help, I'd be grateful, as a physical copy of the demo was written to a dummy disk which doesn't work when inserted into the Switch's optical drive. I am confident it would work if I was able to convert this to a normal Switch. Thanks for the support!
Note: There's no legal precedent, as it was broken, but my boss told me to ask him before doing this stuff. He doesn't know that it's functioning properly, fortunately.

My boss is perfectly fine with this. He said he 'knew it wouldn't work' and wished 'I would stop trying, it was a futile effort.'
Also: the external odd does not work, but I knew it was a long shot.

I'm confused. Did you take the display unit, or somehow make a copy of the software it was running? Your post is one big run on sentence and it's hard to follow.

I also call troll, but in case this is a serious thread.

Burn it. Burn any cameras that saw you take it. Copy the keys and melt the originals.
And break a few doors or windows.
And you'll probably still go to prison.

    That must be rough. Productive I'm sure but hard to balance with daily life

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Man, that's beyond my brain :rofl: I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.
  • Maximumbeans @ Maximumbeans:
    Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.
