    Picofly issues on Switch Lite

    Yes, I have. It was about the cables I soldered. Look at the pic. Somehow the end of these two (CMD & CLK) were touching; As soon as I got that fixed, I then managed to get to write data and the "your emmc is initialized in slower mode" error message was no more. Here's how it was before: And...

    Is my SD corrupted? Getting Error 2123-0011

    Hi, I just wanted to share my experience here, which I believe could lead us to a more concrete conclusion. I've been struggling to install 10GB+ games (take Rocket League as an example) using Awoo, it's too unstable. Switched to DBI. Now the base game, which is less than 4GB installs just fine...

    Picofly issues on Switch Lite

    I soldered a Picofly (RP-2040) onto my Switch Lite board. When the process was done, I was excited to power on the device and see the "No sd" screen, which didn't happen and my Switch Lite was booting straight to OFW instead. I then tested both ends from every single cable for continuity. I...

    Hardware No backlight Switch Lite (no 17v)

    Assuming the backlight IC has an enabler pin, so that this chip wakes up and switches the inductor in order to boost voltage to ~17V, what enables it? Is it the APU? If it is, would you happen to know which pin is it and how many volts does it get to enable?

    Hardware Problem with Nintendo Switch after replacing M92T36

    I guess the same goes for this one then?

    Hardware Problem with Nintendo Switch after replacing M92T36

    Interesting. I was comparing this with another picture that I found (I believe it was here on GBATemp). There's a mismatch on one of those resistors surrounding the M92 chip. Which one is correct?

    Hardware Problem with Nintendo Switch after replacing M92T36

    From your attachment, there's a resistor (maybe 402) at the bottom left of the picture. Would you happen to know its resistance value? Or is that a cap?

    Hardware Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite Diode Measurements !

    Could you share the link from this picture? I need to know more about the 805 MLCC capacitor (voltage and capacitance).

    Hardware Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite Diode Measurements !

    Thanks for replying. As for the diode I mentioned, it belongs to Switch LITE boards only, which explains why you haven't seen them on regular Switch boards. However, aren't diodes supposed to keep the current from coming back to the source and damage a chip? Isn't it the case for the diode I...

    Hardware Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite Diode Measurements !

    I'm sorry for posting here and 'resurrecting' this thread, but since it's already here.. My board has some missing components, most of them are placed around BQ24193 IC (Switch LITE). Here's a picture highlighting them: I was told to have a look at the BQ24193 documentation from Texas...

    Hardware Switch Lite Coil Whine (Not related to the plug)

    Thank you for that. It seems my Switch Lite might have bigger issues than I anticipated. This diode is beeping from both pads (back of handheld): Still on the back, those caps (highlighted in red) around MAX77620HEWJ power management IC are shorting to ground: And on the front, under the...

    Hardware Switch Lite Coil Whine (Not related to the plug)

    Thank you for replying. I'm trying to track it down to its root and found that the interconnect cable might be the culprit. So I tried to remove the original one and solder down a replacement. As you can see from this picture, there are two components right next to the pads of said connector...

    Hardware Switch Lite Coil Whine (Not related to the plug)

    Upon further testing, I've come to the conclusion that whenever "coil whine" happens, it is not to tell me that a component is working - rather, it's from the potentiometer saying something is wrong. That's why screen brightness goes all the way up to 100% and will be stuck at that during coil...

    Hardware Switch Lite Coil Whine (Not related to the plug)

    Here's a video to better illustrate what's going on: I need some help with this, what could be the cause to make that happen sometimes upon wake up? Would that have to do with any sort of short? Is that an indication that something's about to blow up?

    Hardware Switch Lite Coil Whine (Not related to the plug)

    My Switch Lite whines when it's booting, but that only happens during the Nintendo logo screen. Right after that, screen goes to black and then when the Switch logo appears, the whine is gone. After entering sleep state, if I attempt to wake up the handheld soon after that, (5 to 8 minutes after...

    That Dell data breach is worse than people probably realize....
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I worked for Dell we had access to data about military contracts and addresses for high ranking people.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I personally handled a call from the second highest person at Raytheon. That call bothered me a lot... The guy was nice and smart what bothered me was the way management basically just blew him off instead of going the extra mile to help him.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    In the end that call ended up costing Dell millions in lost contracts with Raytheon, and really the issue could have been solved for like 450 bucks lol

    sometimes I wonder why anyone would ever buy mega man x legacy collection 2
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I always thought that capcom shuffled the games in these collection, but apparently they are all in chronological order, which makes legacy collection 2 worthless
