Hey Guys,

I accidentally swapped two board but now the customer says its a fake oled board because it has 12.0.2 FW. The customer is totally freaked out...
Could OLED come out with this version? I know it is, but my customer not. Is there anything written about this?

Thanks

It's so odd that someone thinks there are "fake" switch motherboards that function exactly like the real thing, people can't clone game cartridges but they can clone an entire motherboard...ok.

But to answer you, the 12.0.2 fw came out May 2021, the OLED model released October 2021 so it natively shouldn't be possible to have that firmware on an oled model switch unless the boards were fully flashed around May. I don't have an oled so dunno if this would even work, but is it possible that you swapped the nand chip with one from a regular switch or did you not work on them when you did the board swap?

That's probably what the customer is worried about because if they just looked up the dates and assumed the system would be installed the day of release (which it obviously isn't), they'd expect oled switches to come with fw 14.1.2 since that was the latest fw before the oled release date.

Either way you should switch it back though, it's not their board and if something goes wrong later down the line you'll be held responsible for it because they'd probably suspect you swapped the boards "for a reason". That and if they ever took it to repair, even to another shop and not nintendo, it's possible they'd refuse to help the customer once they see the serials don't match.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
