Yeah put of pictures if you want help - or send it to repair.Ok, and it means that is nothing else to do? Or there are somenthing to unbrick it

Is this the new "new" version with the C-shaped flex cable and taps directly to the CLK point? I thought this would be the better version TBH.New OLED specific chip from AliExpress installed successfully. Not recommended for quick and easy installs. The flex PCB for the CPU bends too much, puts a bit of pressure on the CPU resistors in my opinion, but it's strong enough to hold, I'm not worried. The flex PCB up top is just garbage...takes ALOT of time to get it right, I even cut off part of it and manually wired 3.3v and ground.
TLDR: This new OLED model is poorly designed, but works. Be prepared to put in extra time to install it properly.
Hopefully this helps you out if you get this revision

to be fair though, if done correctly, this new chip and cables are much cleaner. I believe, also re-programmable. (?)Why anyone would choose this over the 6 wire one is beyond me.
Sure hope it's re-programmable with all the sd card incompatibilities with this chip i've been hearing about.to be fair though, if done correctly, this new chip and cables are much cleaner. I believe, also re-programmable. (?)
The SD compatibility issue is because of the spacecraft v0.2 firmware I believe.Sure hope it's re-programmable with all the sd card incompatibilities with this chip i've been hearing about.
I believe you're right, I'm just glad it's not an issue on v0.1 or we would be seeing a lot more OLEDs frying from the 5v being sent to them.The SD compatibility issue is because of the spacecraft v0.2 firmware I believe.
It's this one. I cut off part of the flex PCB (the U shaped one) because it goes over a chip to reach the 3.3v/ground, thus it goes up in the air. After I cut it, that PCB flex piece lays FLAT Much more secure. If you don't let it lay flat, then you don't have to manually wire 3.3v and ground, as it will go through that flex pcb and plug into the top of the chip.Is this the new "new" version with the C-shaped flex cable and taps directly to the CLK point?

Without the USB debug port it's not easily flashable. You'll probably have to solder wires to the chip pins to flash it...to be fair though, if done correctly, this new chip and cables are much cleaner. I believe, also re-programmable. (?)
The 6 wire one is also able to be flashed (I flashed mine so I know it is) and is half the price.to be fair though, if done correctly, this new chip and cables are much cleaner. I believe, also re-programmable. (?)
Is it safe to do a first chip boot (for testing) without using the heatsink?New OLED specific chip from AliExpress installed successfully. Not recommended for quick and easy installs.

If you're testing boot to Hekate only, that's fine. CPU isn't doing much (like a game) so it doesn't get hot at all.Is it safe to do a first chip boot (for testing) without using the heatsink?
Nice and clean install. Good job! I like this version better than mine...but I was impatient and I couldn't find your version for sale on Ali.My 2 cents here… I got a different OLED modchip variant than sean222’s.
Mine has the USB port and comes with a different set of ribbon cables and EMMC adapter.
This adapter is smaller than the other versions, but it’s anchor point fixes it very well. It’s easy to insert under the EMMC and doesn’t require frame cutting.
It comes flashed with Spacecraft 0.2 from factory.
It’s not perfect - sometimes mine takes some seconds to glitch successfully - but it’s good enough.
Thanks, I was impressed by your installation, the cable management, all details are very, very nice. Congrats!Nice and clean install. Good job! I like this version better than mine...but I was impatient and I couldn't find your version for sale on Ali.
