    Can other Switch models be modded with a "Lite" variation of modchip?

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have a few extra V4 chips and was wondering if they can be wired into other units. I'm wanting to use them up before buying some Picos, haha. I just don't want to waste the time if people know they won't work on Non-Mariko chips.

    Can other Switch models be modded with a "Lite" variation of modchip?

    This is assuming you wire it yourself, I guess I'm asking if the chips are all the same and the ribbons/accessories are the only difference between variations? IIRC, I have seen that they can be used on OLED but OLED would have Mariko, right? I wouldn't be surprised by that but can they also be...

    Hey, Everyone. Been a LONG time since I touched a Switch and the modding game has changed a bit. My last modchip install was SX, haha. Anyway, a quick question about a Lite and an hwfly chip: Once installed (assuming it's a good chip), I do the typical with Hekate. I remember all of that with...

    Does anyone know which ICs and/or mosfet handle joycon on the Switch board itself?

    Hello, all. I have found some posts about this and none seem very certain. I'm not looking for parts in the Joycon board but the actual Switch Motherboard. Which ICs and/or mosfets are used to work with the joycons when inserted? Be it data or charging. I'm wondering because I have a working...

    Can I use any eMMC board to rebuild a NAND?

    Ok, thank you so much for the reply! I wasn't sure if the ones I bought from China were wiped and/or by necessity. Given that I have working donors from unfixable Switch tablets, I could hopefully save myself the time and money.

    Hacking Strange Switch behavior (Never modded, AutoRCM on dead eMMC, etc)

    Oh, ok. I never knew that so I appreciate the reply and information! Much appreciated. So there is nothing strange at all here, haha. Just a Switch with a bad eMMC/NAND. I guess I'll just rebuild the NAND on another board (if reballing it doesn't help) and use/sell it as an offline Switch...

    Hacking Strange Switch behavior (Never modded, AutoRCM on dead eMMC, etc)

    Hi all. A strange situation I hope someone can explain to me: My coworker knows I fix tech and brings me his "broken" Switch. He claims he didn't use for almost a year because during his last use it basically crashed and refused to turn back on. He says if I can fix it he'll pay me and if not I...

    Can I use any eMMC board to rebuild a NAND?

    Hi, all. Can I use any working Switch eMMC board on a Switch it did not ship with IF my plan is to rebuild the NAND with the keys of the new Switch? Put simply, "Switch A" is broken but the eMMC board is still good. "Switch B" works fine in every way except it has a bad EMMC board. If "Switch...

    Tutorial How to skip the "Connect Joycons" system init screen

    This is just to skip the prompt you get after a factory reset (or very first boot) of the Switch to insert joycons. It will not let you proceed without them and many don't have them at all. AFAIK, this only patches that check so we can bypass it without having joycons. Someone please correct...

    Hardware Can I Replace Emmc with a new one without nand backup?

    Thanks for the reply! I may have made a mistake, let me clarify. The broken Switch in question has an EMMC that is bad and not fixable. It's not a question of NAND backup as it wouldn't let me back up when obtained. Yet, it was initially in good enough shape for a full key dump. So I have...

    Hardware Can I Replace Emmc with a new one without nand backup?

    Hello. I'm in the same situation as OP here but I do have all the keys from the broken Switch. So, I obtained a Switch with a bad NAND. It's fried. No backup. The usual method of rebuilding a NAND isn't working for this unit, unlike a unit I posted about fixing here in the recent past. Yet, I...

    Hardware Ps4 Slim Error ce-30391-6

    Not on 7.55, sadly. On 505 users can do the kernel clock method above but I haven't seen anything work on another FW where the problem is the kernel clock-battery. Only an update and PSN log-in will fix it.

    Hacking SWITCH NOOB PARADISE - Ask questions here

    Such a noob question but I have a mental disconnect on this one thing: Ok, so people can install new NAND (eMMC) modules. It's been done, either 32GB up to 128GB. Yet, if I have a working module from "Switch A" I cannot do anything to use it in "Switch B". Not even with keys and rebuilding...

    Hi. Yeah, there are a few online that have basic steps and such but I used this video tutorial off off YouTube: FYI, I was on an earlier FW than his is in the video so I just rebuilt with the same FW that was installed already. The unit came with 10.1.0 and so I downloaded and rebuilt with...

    Yes, I also came to that conclusion given the folder. Before that I had also read that it was a common fault specifically with BOTW but I never asked the seller if they owned that game.

    EDIT: Solved my problem and going to share in case anyone else has this issue: Ok, the unit was purchased as broken with the 2002-4373 error. Those are listed (barely anywhere and not specifically even on Ninties site) as basically NAND corruption. The unit boots directly to the error screen...
