Nice install! The important thing is to never rush it. I did this a few months ago without a microscope and broke the capacitor/data lines for the wireless module when taking off the CPU plate on the left side (14:00). I'm liking that microscope so, I think it may be time to fix it!

❤Love it❤#6 is in the books, count it so you connected the drain and gate to sp1 and sp2 (inside bigger solder points the gate and by inside i mean its closer to the rest of the caps in the center)then grounded the Mosfet below each point AFTERWARDS because you could always connect ground to shielding with wire if it didn't align . Is there a reason not to cover the solder points in Kevlon ? I can't think of why the tape would effect the thermal paste but maybe green mask would be more sensible since the caps will be coated . Just out of an abundance of caution . Dont want anything shorting .

@DNAMobileGaming8 күн бұрын
Take your time, make sure to use my trick of covering the other capacitors with kapton tape. I use that method all the time now for this. When you get one side soldered nicely take a breather even if it means going outside or getting a drink. It's really not a scarey task when you succeed but if you haven't done anything like this for a while it will be intimidating at first I'll say. I made the mistake of not having a micro scope for my very first Switch Lite. I messed it up all to heck plus I had bad solder without resin inside and didn't use enough heat. 450c is what I set my temp to. I have Discord and wish you luck I'd hate to see it fail as it really isn't that hard to do just time consuming. I can do a switch now in 20 ish minutes. Lite takes about half hour because it has more solder points. I'm still not a PRO but my kids that use these consoles daily which means they've been dropped or traveled with still have no issues knock on wood.

The emmc chip was most likely manufactured by HyJinx but there are some Samsungs and they are vendor specific it is located under the smaller of the 2 heat shields that had to be pried out at various pin holes . The lite uses BGA solder points located under the chip and therefore require flux, tweezers, and a heat gun to remove . Before going that route, I would like to know more about the mod chip you installed, is it still in the device ? Can you see it ? Is there an LED on it ? Is it blinking ? What color ? Listen closely as soon as you power the device on, is the mod chip beeping ? If so please describe the number of beeps and if they are short and/or long beeps (it's very important to correctly note these as they indicate specifically what connection has failed) Did you enable Auto-RCM in Hekate ? Did you use a mod chip with pre-built flex cables ? Were they for the Lite ? Transistors ? What Ohm and which manufacturer made your emmc chip ?

@@DNAMobileGaming Absolutely, there was residual. But not enough in the needed locations to assist the solder in flowing where you want it. Look at 24:36 as an example. Above SP1 is what (technically too much) solder looks like when it has good assist from flux. Above SP2 (again has to much) the solder is both 'stringy, and not even clinging to the pad above the S.. lower tiny bit of the pad is exposed still, and again, that 'stringy' solder above the 2. Will this work? Sure, potentially. Im willing to bet that the left-most pad of SP1 isn't even attached. Its just friction that's maintaining the minimal current needed. At 37:11 you can kinda see what appears to be a crack, or line, between the 2 parts. Could just be lighting. At 35:37 there is a distinct split as well, but you re-heated after that. So some problems you are having... 1... dirty work environment. You really need to get all of that old thermal past out of there! Its doing absolutely zero good in transferring heat and making it terribly hard for the solder to properly adhere. Thermal past is almost all silicon based, and even extremely good flux will struggle eating it all. Remove all you can with a spudger or dry swab. Then scrub with a clean toothbrush and 90% Isopropyl. 70%, as you can see in your video, leaves droplets in the poorly cleaned chip 2 ... Wipe away wet alcohol wit ha lint-free tool. You can see all over the place where threads from your cotton swabs are left behind. They contaminate the solder, stick in uncleaned thermal paste (creating absolutely HUGE gaps between the chip and the heatpipe!) Anddo nothing positive for you. 3 ... Set your temp iron temp WAY cooler! Youre temp should be only a little hotter than the melting point of your chosen solder. And the tip you use should be based on how muce of that heat has to be transferred into the part. In this project... a copper dot on a ribbon cable and a tiny SMD. You cald almost use a needle point and succeed; 4 ... Apply new flux to every new connection, and as soon as you see that its burned. But clean away the old before applying new. This rids the area of contaminents. In several places around where you referenced above you can see how burned that flux it that you're mentioning. This is because its contaminated from being used too long, and at WAY to high a heat. Look at the soldering tip at 28:48. Its not tinned and its baked to hell and back. Shortly after you clean it, fail to use flux, and add a blob of solder. That solder is going to jump off as soon as it has a place to go. It should flow on the tip just as smoothly and even as a perfectly soldered join on a $1200 motherboard. And absolutely most of all... Im not trying to be a dick! Just trying to help. Soldering can be a PITA! But it seems that most people do really well after they get over this imaginary hump in the middle of the learning curve. Just trying to help ya get there

Ha awesome, this is the easiest of the 3 devices the Switch Lite being the second hardest only because of the orange cable but it's actually not that bad.

Sweet I've done only 7 myself and can do the V1/2 in about 20 minutes as well the reason this is slower is because it's filmed for teaching how it can be done.

I need the install files not on your description
@DNAMobileGamingАй бұрын
There isn't any files in this video to install this is to install the chip. Check my SD card guide for this.

@@DNAMobileGaming I believe he's asking about the files to flash the pico that you mentioned would be in the description or "somewhere else"

the fact you dont recommend the use of a microscope tells me all i need to know

I use a microscope for this installation and recommend it a lot actually not sure where you got that assumption. I even have the microscope I used in the description 🤣.
