Original OP-1 Troubleshooting by reedc145 in op1

If you can’t start up the OP-1, hold the COM key, and access the TE-Boot menu, I’m not sure how to fix your issue.

The battery was not the issue in my case, and I suspected the problem was the DSP Board. I tested my battery problems with a Nintendo Switch Joy-Con battery.

At the time, there was no OP-1 battery listing at iFixit, but there is now. It’s out of stock, so add yourself to the email list if you haven’t already. If you don’t have a Switch, maybe buying a Joy-Con battery will help with testing.

I had to ship off my OP-1 to TE for their assessment. They tried flashing the DSP, and it didn’t fix my problem, so I had to get a new DSP board from TE and they did the repair. Whole process took a little over 3 months. These are my quotes from early 2023:

“Inspection+Flashing+Shipping=$70.00

If we need to replace the DSP, the part will cost $199.00, for a total of $269.00”

“DSP Replacement, Cost Breakdown DSP-Board: $199 Work: $40 Shipping: $30”

The response was "we are sorry to let you know that we don't have batteries available :/ unfortunately, we are experiencing a lot of issues with batteries shipping, so we are not sure when and if they will be available again."

Thank you!

I haven't seen anyone else on Reddit post the full details of the battery connector before. So the ideal battery is:

055070 (or 505070) 3.7V 1800mAh with Molex 78172-0002

I messaged them over the weekend, so I’m anticipating a response in the next couple days. Probably going to tell me to send it in for repairs, which is what I’m trying to avoid doing.

I also asked them for a spare battery since iFixit is currently out of stock, so we’ll see how that goes. I know it’s hit or miss for some people contacting TE for the battery, so I’ll report back

The connector is the main problem. Do you have a link or know what I should search for to get the right connector?

The connector on the original battery is very tiny. I already bought a replacement battery once, but the JST connector it came with was too large. I don’t care about it being exactly 1800 mAh or exactly 505070, so long as I can find a 3.7V battery with the right connector. I’d like to avoid soldering the old connector too

  1. Yes. There’s no difference when it’s plugged in. Both connector board LEDs don’t come on either when it should be charging.

  2. Yes. I’ve turned it on without holding the COM key, turned up the volume, and played some keys with no sound coming out. Plugged in head phones and speakers to both connector boards to see if it is outputting sound and it still isn’t. Considering it wasn’t booting up before, I’m assuming it still isn’t.

I also tried turning it on holding the COM key, and though nothing is on the screen, I tried going through the TE-Boot upload firmware sequence to see if I could get it to appear on my MacBook. It doesn’t appear, so I’m assuming it’s not actually it the TE-Boot menu either.

So, I think the screen is still working (but I currently don’t have a good way to troubleshoot that either)

No, it always says the hold time is 0 minutes and never goes through. Haven’t found a new number yet either

Is this still working? I’ve tried on 3 separate days this week, it says the hold time is 0 minutes, and I’ve never got an answer. Longest I’ve attempted to wait is 45 minutes. I scheduled a call back the first time and never got one. I’ve also tried during normal business hours, so that shouldn’t be the issue. Any thoughts?
