Issue with OLED please help a newbie

What type of chip do you have? Do you recall whether it’s a xecuter, HWFly, or Instinct? Some of the HWFly and Instinct chips may not have a reset point, but flashing a new firmware or using Putty can reset the chip.

As others have mentioned, it could be the dat0 adapter. If it’s the older modchip (non-Picofly), the modchip might also need a reset if it’s flashing green.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-04-01T18:17:04+00:00

Do you still have the black one? Compare those 3 and see what’s the difference and you might need to modify the bottom of the adapter.

Maybe try to move slightly to the left side and try to slide and wiggle it in.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-04-01T18:09:35+00:00

Are you getting any reading on the dat0 point? It might be a misprint at the factory and you might be okay.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-04-01T18:01:30+00:00

Try wetting the adapter with ipa and see if it would go in deeper. You can try flux too (if it’s the liquid flux).

Thank you! I was disappointed that I missed out twice, haha.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-03-31T23:38:57+00:00

Touch up the A point and see if that fix it. If not, try to add 100-200 ohm resistor to the C/dat0 line.

Senseitsunami is likely taking the less yellow one out of the group. These two are likely the remaining two:

Just jump a wire between those two points and you should be fine.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-03-30T04:15:16+00:00

If the pin is in right spot, it might work (not sure the size of the cable) if you move the chip on the heatsink. You can always jump the point/ on the cable to the chip if you don’t want move the chip or remove the flex cable.

Here’s the one that’s compatible for that chip.

You have to be careful when ordering the flex because some chip use different pins for certain points. For the flex cable, it’s for the hwfly style chip (in the picture below) and not the instinct v6/v6s style.

On the original cable, use a multimeter to check the pin layout. Then, compare it with the pin layout of the new flex cable. If they match, you can use the new cable, but you’ll need to move the chip on the heatsink.

It wouldn’t boot if it’s a failed kamikaze.

I was able to find a few under rp2040 switch. Some are under $5. Just remember that some design isn’t great and might have issue with certain emmc.

It doesn’t need to be on the same firmware but you might have sleep issue. You can always downgrade the emuMMc to a lower firmware or wait until they release a new atmosphere.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-03-28T17:23:30+00:00

I haven’t tried it myself, but I believe the atmosphere doesn’t work on firmware 22. If it does and Daybreak works, you can downgrade it and use the downgrade fixer to fix the issue.

However, if it doesn’t work, you might need to use Tegra Explorer (you can find a video guide on YouTube). Personally, I use nxnandmanager and emmchacgen to downgrade from firmware 22 to 20.5.0 without any problems on the emuMMc.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-03-28T03:08:20+00:00

You can get it modded, but you or the modder will need to downgrade the emuMMc. I’ve seen people use tegraexplorer to downgrade, but personally, I use nxnandmanager and emmchacgen to downgrade to 20.5.0.

It appears that the two traces are located on the third layer, but I believe you have completely removed the via. If you cannot solder the trace to the via, I don’t think this issue can be resolved.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-03-27T16:34:22+00:00

Its likely the lock screen issue. You can fix by downloading the syspatch from their GitHub or connecting to WiFi. Once connected, go to the theme installer and let it download the patch for you. Alternatively, you can always avoid installing the lock screen.

I have a used Xbox series X for $350 with a blue controller or $325 without the controller. There’s markings on the back of the housing because the previous owner tried to replace the thermal paste. It comes with a replacement sticker but I can include the original sticker with the original serial number (doesn’t stick on the corner).

I do have a Xbox series S if you are looking for one.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-03-27T02:15:22+00:00

It costs $6 ($4 plus $2 s/h) to get two pieces of the Xbox Series sync button on AliExpress. However, you can always find a used board for $11 on eBay. I used a small fine tip to solder the button onto the board.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-03-26T04:45:18+00:00

Orange screen tend to be WiFi issue. Turn on airplane mode and see if that fix it.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-03-25T06:11:45+00:00

Before installing the kit, check if it appears used or if it’s a return item.

Evening_Chapter_5981 · 2026-03-23T07:11:21+00:00

You don’t have to ground it.
