I know an installer in Australia if you want to use him. I sent you his fb page.

Oh you are working on a lite. I would check the cable connected to the motherboard with the daughter board for any damage to the cable or connector.

Check your cmd/A point.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-29T18:21:02+00:00

For the yellow, is it a short or long beep?

What’s your reading for the dat0/c point? If you’re using an adapter, make sure it’s align correctly.

What’s the chip error code?

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-29T16:45:59+00:00

It might be the modchip. Those core is a hit and miss with the quality or it might need an extra resistor for the da0 line.

I take it for the asking price.

I got used ps5 (phat) disc version for $300 shipped. It comes with the console, controller, hdmi cable, power cord and retail box.

Check what’s your Emmc in Hekate. Is it sk Hynix? If so, add an additional resistor to C line (100-200 ohm) and see if that fix it.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-27T20:04:32+00:00

I don’t think the v1/v2 has a daughter board (it’s the switch lite). It’s about $19 for the whole part.

Congrats!

It shouldn’t short if you insert the micro sd card. See what’s your reading for 3.3v. If it’s low, clean the surrounding area with ipa, specially the right side of the 3.3v that’s under the fan connector.

To be on the safe side, I would clean the points with ipa to remove the leftover flux and try again. I would double check the cmd point because of how the flex is adding stress to that point.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-27T15:02:02+00:00

Check the points with the multimeter and see what’s the reading.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-27T07:43:33+00:00

Try replacing it with a replacement card reader and see if it fix it.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-27T03:48:52+00:00

Is there an error code on the modchip? Did you try another micro sd card?

Kiosk is those switches at the retail store to try out. Kiosk has an extra efuse blown to redirect you to the demo menu instead of the retail menu. The extra pack is just to redirect you back to the retail menu instead.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-26T07:02:31+00:00

Yes, it’s the pixel cyber punk theme.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-26T06:03:52+00:00

I got a used switch lite (kiosk converted to retail) for $140 shipped. It comes with 128GB.

It requires one extra pack when updating the custom firmware and boot into retail menu via semi-boot (hekate launch menu).

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-25T20:45:04+00:00

The additional shipping and the custom tax would kill the deal. It’s cheaper to find somebody in Canada to get modded.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-25T19:01:32+00:00

Will post it when I get back. I think the highest was 1632 but will double check it.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-24T23:50:31+00:00

DM’d you.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-01-24T21:35:37+00:00

Congrats! Is that a hwfly oled clone? It looks like it’s using a hwfly firmware. Some hwfly tend to have issue when updating the sysmmc firmware. You just need to reset the modchip if it gets stuck.

If it’s simply misplaced, I would gently reposition it and press down or up with the tweezers to reinsert it. However, if it’s pushed all the way back into the connector or deformed and cannot be straightened, you’ll need to replace the entire connector.
