So, this Lite popped up on Facebook market.
Curious as I am, I contacted the owner and offered him a "no fix, no fee" service.

An attempt has been made to modify the device with RP2040-Lite(?) using the supplied flexcable.
The soldering of the flexcable was subpar + I got a short between B (RST) and 3.3V (IIRC).

I´ve removed the flexcable and cleaned up all the soldering, the only cable remaining is the APU-flex.
I deem it OK, reading about 0~/14 ohm on the caps (between ground and connection on flexcable) + soldering looks decent under the microscope.

Symptoms: No boot, home-button lights up (according to the owner).
Owner removed M92T36 after measuring around M92~ for shorts.
I get a 1.5 ohm reading on one of the caps with the IC removed. The owner did also (on the same cap).
The larger caps behind the APU measure from 11 ohms and upwards.

The cap showing 1.5 ohm-reading, isn't this the infamous "APU-cap"?
Should 1.5 ohms be considered a dead short to ground (aka. APU is dead)?

Edit: Forgot to mention that the owner soldered the cables with the battery plugged in.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    @BigOnYa i was legitimately trying to scratch my leg, this is reminding me of that cylinder post
  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
