noromamaiPrepared (read: copied files from zip) SD card last night for my daughter's yellow Switch Lite. Will attempt to mod it tonight. Only modded a og Switch once before and ended up going to a friend for help (turned out soldering was ok, but ribbon cable connector pin got bent). #switch #picofly
Removed back. Metal shielding and heat spreader. Cleaned up the goopy paste. Keeping the screws in their original locations so I can't forget. Although I have proven I can still forget even if I do this. #switch #modding #picofly
Soldered the ribbon cables. Used crap solder on the CPU cable as you can see. But then when I wanted to test the power button did nothing because the clip of the ribbon cable next to the battery connector came off...
It took me an hour to get it back on. Very frustrating.... In the end I saw the video below. Bent the metal parts on the side and then it went on in 5 minutes of trying. Big thanks to @neotil1 on YouTube for that.
Tested it and working. Takes some time before it's glitched, but it works. So put it all back together again and voila! Friend explained that picofly will adjust it's timing and after a few times glitching it will become faster.
All working now. Would not boot into anything, because I updated the Switch before modding and it is on 21.0.0 now. Lucky me a new HATS package was released today for 21.0.0. Installed, created emuMMC with Hekate and now boots into emuMMC.
Not all is well. Nintendo updated the kernel and changed more stuff, so a lot of homebrew is no longer working in 21.0.0, including DBI. After trying to get it working for 20 minutes, I gave up and installed Awoo Installer and managed to put Animal Crossing on it. Mission accomplished.
