    Hardware Can Anyone help identify these Lite components?

    Ok. That makes more sense to me. Thanks for patiently answering all my noob questions 😊 1713202238 For the IC.. this is what I was left with after desoldering the old chip. ie two pads connected. The PDF pin configuration diagram shows that B1 & B2 (LX1 & LX2) are connected together. Am I...

    Hardware Can Anyone help identify these Lite components?

    Thanks! Now I need to just figure out how to read this.. 1713201104 Thanks for your answers! I appreciate it very much! Two follow up questions: So when I powered up, the coil “A” started smoking. I had not placed a capacitor for “B”. Does this outcome make sense? Are the last two capacitors...

    Hardware Can Anyone help identify these Lite components?

    Messed up a repair and fried "A". Sneezed while handling "B" and it disappeared into the 6th dimension. "C" might not be lying flat after re-soldering. Can anyone help me identify them, or point me in the the right direction so I can do so myself? Also, which of these would likely to have...

    Does this look right? BGA pads

    I struggled to remove the damaged BGA only to find the pads like this. Did I damage them? Are they meant to be connected like that? The second pic shows the location on the switch lite board.

    Green paint on board. Is this a problem.

    So just to make 100% I understand you, I can safely solder the two caps as in this pic, correct? I’m ordering the MAX8969 step-up converter in the meanwhile. I don’t have an oscilloscope to check if the chipped one still functions properly. As far as correct orientation, since it’s a 9 bga, do...

    Thanks for that! You’re right!.. I’ll need to sort that out..

    Green paint on board. Is this a problem.

    So I knocked off two caps while trying to remove a stubborn screw. After a horrible attempt to install them, I was left with an area where the green paint was removed. The second pic is how they’re supposed to look. Can I just install them in place, or do I need to do something about the green...

    Grinding Fan. Don’t replace!

    After swopping out the case and screen I turned on my switch lite to hear a grinding noise from the fan. It was worse when holding the unit screen up, and improved as it was tilted down and disappeared when the screen faced down. Searches basically suggested replacing the fan. This is what...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    I just installed an HWFly Lite.. now I’m getting this led sequence while the switch boots to stock menu. Any idea what it means? I don’t know how to read the online error code legend… ☹️ The color looks like Blue (an attempted glitch?) and then yellow (or white?) sequence of three ==*.

    Yup. Both the same. I've never updated firmware. Thanks.. I've resorted to building up my saves again via Swiss Army Knife. Not ideal, but I've managed to get most of what I really needed thus far.. Users and saves are a bit of a tangled mess though. Anyhow. I shouldv'e learnt all about...

    My emuNAND had over 30 games with saves and 4 users on it but doesn't boot up. My sysNAND boots fine, and I can create a fresh emuNAND that works fine (I have backups of both my sysNAND and emuNAND). My question is, can I restore my user partition alone, over the fresh emuNAND? When i tried...
