@marsandbars 4 күн бұрын

A few kinds of flux that are worth having: a) a quality rosin flux pen, which is usually good for quick solder jobs where you want better joints, and b) a non-expired tacky flux, which is actually better in a lot of cases in my experience and definitely should be your choice for SMD work. I use NC191, and even though it's no-clean, that stuff is shockingly good for use with copper braid and even general THT soldering.

@Cerber_crypto 6 күн бұрын

thank you very much for the video I have not found others as accurate as yours, I wanted to ask you 2 questions, is this chip just soldered immediately functional or is it necessary to flash before installation? the second question is is there a written guide so as to understand how the initial preparation of the console is, that is, which cables are to be disconnected before the process and avoid short circuits and see in detail with images the pins to be soldered? ps: is it possible to change the usbc connector of the lite and put a usbc that has the possibility of video output, it would be fantastic so as to make a lite like a normal switch!

@fixingmoddingbuilding 6 күн бұрын

Thanks. Some chips come with software installed, others need it adding, I have a video in the top description showing how to do this. I dont have a written guide, the main thing to remember is unplug the battery asap, this will stop any shorts if you drop something/short something. I dont think the Switch lite has a video output so I dont think its possible to easily output like a regular Switch.

@Cerber_crypto 5 күн бұрын

@fixingmoddingbuilding yes the lite does not have video output, the question was if it was possible to remove it and put a card that reads the video output so as to show the games on the tv? or at least find a way to do it

Man, I guess my flex cable was bad or something. I redid everything and it just kept booting into ofw with there being 2 pulses on the chip. I just uninstalled everything and at least the switch boots fine. I'm gonna try with the other flex cable and see if it works better, otherwise I need to try direct wire install.
