Hardware Hacking Switch OLED 256gb NAND upgrade

[binkinator]

Still no success.
The guy at the store didn't know how to solder correctly, and after 3 attempts, he gave up and gave me back the two emmcs (the 256GB and the original 64GB) and the empty motherboard

I ended up having to buy a heat gun and try the soldering myself.

After many soldering attempts, I ended up getting it working for a day, but the next day the emmc died. the cause of this may have been the excessive attempts I made (the heat may have deteriorated the IC).

I ended up buying a second emmc but it should still arrive next week

Sorry to hear my friend. I hope you have better luck with the second one!

Thanks, I hope yours works too.

the summary is: not wort the effort, a bigger SD works as fast as MMC, easy to put in and riskless

I’m in…

I buied my two chips from this same store

The SD is sightly slower, but for majority of persons it doesn't matter.....

.....I'm not part of this majority

I think I saw your 5 star review on the 16th. ;-)

I do remember the days of the wii wasabi chips, you have to sacrifice half of the drive speed to run burned disks.

USB loader GX happily solved this problem

for me was WiiFlow Still using it. but the first years was burned disks.

i think i should make a video how i reball an emmc.
@binkinator
I have yet to answer your question in the other thread. I'm very busy and I'm trying these days.

That would be awesome!

I intend to do one as well and will do my best, but it’s going to be my first time reballing anything so I expect a lot of “constructive” feedback on my yet to be determined “technique”.

(no expectations on responses to anything…it’s just the Internet, man. It can wait.)

shipt

…will let you know how long it takes to arrive in Texas.

What the value os this resistor on sx core?

I'm very tempted to get a 2nd emmc board for my v2 just to try my hand at soldering the emmc. I've seen it done but haven't given it a go yet. Then again I had never reflowed any 0201 smd components before modding my v2 either.

If I can reliably do it with the v2 I'd probably give the OLED a try.

I discovered: it's 240 ohm

Is it the same as it’s neighbors? (Just curious And thanks for sharing)

Same! I’m just a tech tourist. There’s really no need for this. I just want to add a skill and see if I can do it.

I’m over here getting all jacked up on YouTube reballing vids and Mountain Dew!

Yes

My second emmc arrived
Someone have soldering/reballing tips to me?
