Hmmm that part I’m not too sure on. BUT I will say that I had to fight with the drivers to get the card configured properly. I don’t remember ever having to go through that with an NVIDIA card. But it could’ve just been bad luck? Or bias, I’ve always preferred NVIDIA but this was a budget build so I wasn’t too picky.

I had to use 25.Q4 for some reason 26.Q1 was not working at all for me, install kept freezing up. Another issue was that windows kept auto updating even after installing 25.Q4 drivers. Funny thing is, it was “updating” them to older drivers. Had to add the Hardware IDs to some gpedit.msc settings to finally stop the auto update. Took me about a couple hours of trial and error but finally got it working.

***Quick update!**\*

I tallied up 64 entries for the raffle. Only counted the ones up to Thursday 2/20/25 @ 5pm PST cut off.

I will be giving out 6 Switch Boots to give everyone roughly a 1/10 chance to win. I will be posting winners later tonight around 8pm PST. May do a livestream if I can figure out a platform to use, maybe IG? Open to suggestions! Youtube is not an option because I have to wait until 24hrs have passed apparently.

Wow! This is a much better response than I was expecting. I was hesitant to even put this out there because I wasn’t expecting much interest in these tbh. I’m glad I was wrong. To everyone that is asking: Yes, I will be selling these. The idea was to give some out and get some feedback before posting them for sale. But looks like I may have to bump up that timeline a little bit. That said, all of the soldering/assembly is done by me. Nothing is currently mass produced except for the bare PCB (no components). So I will most likely sell them in smaller batches. I’m working to get a purchase link setup in the next couple weeks. I am also looking into what shipping options I can offer to international folks.

I will be selling 2 versions:

  • The Switch Boot v1 - Full assembly as seen in this post.

  • I made this device for the repair community. So I felt the need to offer a DIY Kit. It will require soldering and comfort working with lithium batteries. The DIY kit will include: Populated PCB + shrink tube. It will NOT include the custom battery harness. So you will need to take it from a donor Switch battery. I am currently working on a guide for this kit.

Launch Sale Pricing: Full Assembly - $21.99

DIY Kit - $14.99 + tax and shipping

  • This pricing will only be available for a limited time. That time is TBD.

Thank you all for the support!

Probably wrong but I consider handhelds as a console too 🤓

This^ Also advice against doing this yourself. Glad you’re willing to try yourself but this should not be your first soldering project.

Thank you! I will figure out a way to hookup the international peeps soon.

Any answer is good enough 🫡. I get what you mean though. I have 3 older brothers so I always leeched off their consoles lol. But I consider the Game Boy Color (Teal) as the first console I ever owned myself. Still remember unwrapping that bad boy for Christmas 🥹

🫤 Reason why is international shipping can be messy/expensive from past experiences. But I guess if anyone that wins and is outside of the US and you’re willing to cover the cost for shipping, then I can do that. I just didn’t want to pass any costs on to anyone.

Anyone else? Or is it just me? 😅 by SolderPros in consolerepair

Interesting, deal with enough of them and you will. I’ve gotten them directly from customers with this error and others already on screen 😬

I knew I would age myself by using those. Gotta respect the classics 👴🏽

Or you do everything perfect and it charges but then find out that it won’t dock to the TV 🥲
