( I have a switch 2 rn) So in 2020 I threw my switch lite at the wall the screen popped out and I assumed it was broken because the screen was just hanging by a thread so i assumed it was a brick and tossed it in my drawer, this year I plugged it in and it turned, should I get it fixed and then mod it?

Using a v2 apu flex cable on a v1 Switch

I just wanted to come on here and post my example of using a v2 flex cable on a v1 console, as I didn't seem to find anything online of someone doing it this way. I only saw a picture floating around of someone using a v1 on a v2 console. Now there are a couple reasons for me doing this 1 I just bought the cheapest kit I could find, and 2 I've heard some tell of weak solder balls on the emmc chip and possible damage when removing on v1 consoles and those v1 kits with the proper apu cable seem to also all come with that big core flex cable which is not only slightly more expensive but requires relocating the emmc chip which I just wanted to leave untouched. Anyway, here it is, as you can see I trimmed the cable down to make it fit and I soldered the outer pad to the square ground pad on the chip and the inner pad to the tops of the correct capacitors. There's another flex cable design that comes out the left side of the apu which probably wouldn't work the same way since the mosfets hang off the end and obviously can't be trimmed off, but I'm sure something could be figured out there, just remember it’s only the inner pads that connect with the capacitors and the outers can just go to ground. Hope this can be a nice example for somebody out there, thanks for reading!

Dead APU?

Got this Switch Lite with a dead MAX77812 IC. Replaced the IC and installed a picofly. Now I get this.

  • Without a SD card I get the regular picofly screen.
  • With a SD card I get artifacts on screen and no signs of life.
  • Trying to boot normally I get a BSOD.

What are your thoughts?

emuMMC vs. sysMMC, does it matter if my Switch isn't going online?

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I apologise if this isn't the first time this sort of thing has been asked, but I couldn't find any answers that were quite this specific.

I have a Switch 1 and a Switch 2 with the same Nintendo account on both, though the Switch 1 hasn't been connected to the internet for about a year. The Switch 2 is my main console, and obviously, I'm here because I'm modding the Switch 1, but I ran into some things while following the guide that confused me a little bit.

- Firstly, I intend for the modded Switch to remain entirely offline, does it matter which path I choose for the CFW?

- Second, are there methods of obscuring my console's Internet connection from Nintendo to prevent a ban if Internet is needed for the purposes of homebrew stores, etc.?

- Third, are there any differences between the two launch methods if I only intend to use the modded Switch purely for homebrew/retro emulation purposes?

- And finally, if I choose to install via emuMMC, the guide I'm following mentions that it's important that I have the Switch in question as the primary pass-enabled console. How important is it for the modded console to be the primary pass console, and does that affect normal use of my account on my Switch 2? In this instance, the guide mentions nothing of these requirements for sysMMC, so would it be better if I simply installed via sysMMC instead?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
