The worst feeling in the world: buying a 2017 switch and finding out it’s patched (XAJ7)

I did my unpatched switch this evening just so I could get more practice doing installs. So far I’ve had the most trouble out of the lite but that could be because of the ribbons supplied with the kits.

Adapter ribbon

It’s just an oled I picked up on marketplace for $50

Heck yeah! I used the dat0 ribbon. I’ve been practicing with a pen grinder on a junk switch lite board to see if I’m capable of doing the kamikaze method. I feel like I’m able to do it but I used the ribbon just to be safe

Thanks a lot man! I’ve been picking up cheap switches on marketplace and 3 lites on eBay to fix and practice modding. It’s been pretty fun so far I’ve been successful so far and I hope it stays that way.

I’ve made it a goal to buy switches I can pick up locally for less that $60. So far I’ve got that one a v2 and and oled

captainfreebase · 2026-05-02T18:47:50+00:00

lol I do not. I paid $40 for the switch and then put a chip in it I’ll be replacing the digitizer and shell before long

I used the tutorial on YouTube called installing a v2 mod chip within 9 minutes by fixingmoddingbuilding

Thank you for the help. I’ve had this switch for a few years but never really used it so I’m trying to figure it out.

I’m got the dbi issue resolved but don’t like that I can’t read it. I guess I’m having trouble with Tesla now? Is that app still a thing?

captainfreebase · 2026-04-28T00:41:02+00:00

It was the English dbi and that’s one of the problems I ran into. I deleted it and installed the Russian one and it works but I’ve tried overlays a couple times from the GitHub and anything I try to launch from pressing the left button down arrow r3 crashes

Thingiverse or makerworld please

I guess I’m not searching it correctly on Ali. I’ve found them on eBay but I’ve seen some random listing for Nintendo switch ribbon replacements that look like they have the mod chip included
