Shell swapped my chipped OLED. Now I’m having “failure to init SD Card” error. What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was very careful and followed step by step instructions while doing the swap. All cables and seatings look good to me. Anyone see what could be the issue?

[Recent update] SwitchOS can detect AtmostphereOS, is it true?

Hi and good day everyone, I am a newbie who has never own a switch but I have done some research on it. I am looking to buy a secondhand modded switch and the seller tell me it is not recommended to boot switchOS, use genuine catridge and play online because Nintendo can detect it and will get me ban. Is this true? If yes, does that mean I can only play offline in the Atmosphere and never online if I buy the switch from the seller?

Note: The seller claim it is picofly modchip. I am not sure if I need to ask anything else to confirm haha

Trying to mod an oled switch. But getting a purple screen.

For diode values

C point 0.649

A point 0.456

D point 0.619

B is 0.893

The chip glitches the switch to picofly page no sd. Its only when i try to bypass using power + vol -/+ it will go to purple screen when trying to load ofw.

I checked online about point a if its dislodge or broken. Thats when I do forward bais i get 0.456 and when I try to see if one side is short only one side goes to the ground other side does not short to ground. I tried to ohm it and the value is about 1.098 M ohms. When i Googled this type of troubleshooting it says 4.7kohms but I did not remove for accurate measurement...

Im looking for suggestions... coz other oled I've modded didn't end up like this. I do not think the emmc is the issue coz when I remove the modchip it loads to ofw.

Please confirm: suspecting MAX77812

Did the kamikaze, dat0 is reading correctly all the points too (A,D,B,3.3V) no shorts. The problem is I forgot to disconnect the battery while grinding the board. The picofly is giving (*==) error. But when I remove the dat0 the error becomes (=*) [dat0 missing], that's why I'm sure it's not severed dat0. I'm suspecting the MAX77812 CHIP needs to be replaced? Kindly confirm it.( All red circles are short, using a multimeter diode mode continuity )

Modded Switch is super slow + SD card testing ~4 MiB/s (fake/failing?)

I bought a modded Switch Lite off Facebook Marketplace and I’m trying to figure out what’s causing it to be so slow. System menus load slow, games take like 1–3+ minutes to load (it gets past the switch loading screen fast, but takes a long time to get to the title screen of the game/load into gameplay), Luigi’s Mansion elevator transitions can take a couple minutes, and occasional random lag/stutters in games.

I ran an SD card benchmark on hekate and it shows like 3–4 MiB/s, and chatgpt told me its insanely low.

I tried testing with H2testw and it could only test on 78gb of my ~400gb used space. I aborted it immediately and the .h2w test file kept coming back after i deleted it when i clicked out of the sd card drive.

Windows shows 476GB usable (its a 512gb card so idk if thats normal) and only one normal partition though.

It came with a SanDisk Ultra 512GB, formatted as exFAT, and it’s running Atmosphere. it says the version is 1.0 | AMS 1.7.1_lsp | E ,but i have no idea what _lsp means and if thats okay. I'm the third owner of this console now, so idk whats been done to it. all the games and everything were there when i bought it

Not sure if this is a dying SD card, a fake card, or something wrong with the mod setup (emuMMC etc.)

Lmk what you guys think is the problem, if theres any tests I should run because right now i'm troubleshooting with chatgpt, and recommendations for the best sd card to get next if that's the issue. Thanks in advance!

Is this the new version of PicoFly?

This looks different from the previous version before. How do you install this in V2? I cant find the older style of Picofly anywhere anymore.

Here's the link

Looking to mod a switch oled soon dose anyone know someone or a place that can install a mod chip?

I am looking to upgrade my Nintendo switch soon with a oled and was hoping I could mod it but the game/repair store in my area no longer does it because it is too time consuming. Got any suggestions?

Looking for a fresh USB capture of the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller (full enumeration + initialization)

Hi everyone,

I'm working with a friend on an STM32-based USB adapter that I'm trying to make enumerate as a genuine Nintendo Switch Pro Controller instead of a generic HID device.

The old GBAtemp thread has been incredibly helpful, especially the switch-pro-wired.pcap capture:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/reverse-engineering-the-switch-pro-controller-wired-mode.475226/

However, I think that capture starts after the initial USB enumeration/handshake. The interrupt traffic is there, but I can't find the complete connection sequence, and that's exactly where I'm currently stuck.

At the moment:

  • Steam recognizes my STM32 device as a Switch Pro Controller and everything works correctly.
  • If I emulate the HORI Pokkén Controller, the Switch 2 detects it immediately (as expected), but as Generic USB Controller.
  • But when I try to emulate an official Switch Pro Controller, the Switch 2 refuses to recognize it.

Since the original capture is almost 10 years old, I'm also wondering if Nintendo changed anything in the USB initialization sequence over time.

Would anyone with a Switch 1 with last FW or Switch 2 be willing to capture a new USB trace? Ideally, the capture would begin before plugging in the controller, so it includes the complete enumeration and initialization process.

If anyone has the hardware to do this (USBPcap, Beagle, Linux usbmon, etc.), it would be a huge help. Even confirming that the initialization sequence is still identical would be valuable.

Thanks!

My freshly modded Switch Lite

Just wanna show you my newly modded one: OLED screen, full aluminum housing, TMR sticks, extended battery, mod chip, and a 512 GB microSD card.
Everything was done by myself. Very happy with how it turned out. One of the coolest handhelds for long-distance travel. ❤️‍🩹

Worth modding my switch if I don't have a backup console?

I want to mod my switch 1. I'm worried that since I only have the 1 switch I might lose stuff / lose out on stuff, since I don't have a backup switch or NS2. Am I risking anything by not having my real account associated with a console? Or by using my console with homebrew? IDK what would happen to all my save data.

Sorry for flooding the main page, I couldn't find a low-effort / quick questions thread!

Switch lite boots into OFW after modding

The error code says RST, but even after resoldering every point, it doesn't change. Could it be a faulty mod chip? If I remove the chip and leave the flex cables in, will it work regularly?

Blinking blue led

After some weeks of working rp2040, now it just blinks..

Can't find why this happened

Thanks for your help

Edit : I have ~400mv on all points with the diode mode of the multimeter, but only 0.6v on CLK when turned ON.

Another kamikaze, who else agrees?

I’m at a point now where I no longer care for bragging rights on how the hole looks. Accuracy is cool! Don’t get me wrong. But functional kamikaze methods are what matters. At first I was into the whole “OH LOOK HOW SMALL MY KAMIKAZE WAS!” Now I’m like, “eh. Who cares” it gets covered anyway with solder mask after the wire is attached. And likely never to be seen again. Am I the only one? First pic is when I was really trying hard to make the smallest possible. Second is one I did today. Both successful, both completely cover in mask after. Thoughts? Do you think it matters? Or is it purely bragging rights.
