You are doing great work, just take your time. Most people have no issue waiting on products/videos if it is to make sure they are good quality. Most people also did not expect to ever see a switch lite oled mod in general so we appreciate you anyways!
@@DavidLealSoto Absolutely, its the OLED Touch with HDMI out I'm most intersted in. The Ultimate in portability and the ability to also output to HDMI when desired.
Any chance you'd consider some kind of daughter board that allows you to use this with a raspberry pi 5? I feel like it's very slim pickings for pi based projects (in terms of color and/or responsiveness).
Can't wait until this comes back in stock in February. Looking forward to picking one up. Missed the first round just with all the gift buying for family and friends this time of year.
I notice you skip over the part where you're putting the new metal plate on when wrapping up the installation--perhaps to gloss over the fact that it covers up the top GPIO button? I know multiple people who have the excellent non-touch kits have pointed this out, but I don't think I've heard a response on this. Wasn't the point of having the buttons oriented horizontally, as in pre-production revisions of the kit, supposed to be that the GPIO buttons would be easily accessible if we decided we wanted to change profiles? What happened there? And should we be worried about the plate pressing that top GPIO button?
The point of the buttons being horizontal was never so they could be pressed without taking off the shell. They were horizontal (and the cutout was horizontal) so they could fit in the shell with the plate on. For your last question, no.
@@TakiUdon2The kits are fantastic overall--I'm very happy with mine. My Switch Lite finally gets play--and serious play--for the first time since the Switch OLED came out. That said, you did say in the previous install video (the non-touch version) that the buttons were situated the way they were for easy access. Appreciate your reply!
I heavily regretted returning my OLED Switch for the Switch Lite. But I preferred the shape of the lite. I eagerly await this kit coming in. You made my dream come true Taki! Merry Christmas!
couple video back he announced oled mods for the original switch, ds lite, 3ds and psp. on his twitter i think the original switch oled mod was called super7 oled
A very interesting mod, but I think that the star of the video is that atomic purple case, it looks so awesome, it’s a color that Nintendo would release every single time as a signature device
For us Mega Kit preorders does this give a general idea of how the install process will go for that? Disconnect everything and move it to the new shell, while maybe swapping out some components in the process? And the HDMI mod at the same time, I guess.
Mega Kit is easier than what I did here because the screen is already installed into a second shell with a metal frame and a battery. You just swap buttons and the PCB.
I ordered my OLED touch - mega kit yesterday. I will use a black metal shell and white buttons aiming for a blakc&white design. If the display comes already assembled into the replacment shell, I hope I can remove it without problems. Since it isn't mentioned on the product page I still hope it will be delivered as seperate pieces. After looking at the tutorials I think I will cut a hole in the metal shielding plate to avoid pressure of the 10pin FPC connector on the battery.
Just wanted to thank you for your effort, and I will definitely get the Switch 2, 8 inches OLED mod when it comes out. (Kinda disappointed in Nintendo going back to LCD, dammit)
I just preordered the touch version of the super5 oled. I hope this company is legit and continues to restore my favorite consioles with modern tasteful mods! I'll update in Jan-Feb of 2025 on my experience for others to see.
I hope this means the mega kits are going to finally ship soon. The website got rid of the ships November line sometime in December. I can't wait for mine to finally arrive.
@@jackipiegg There's no way around it without cutting holes in the case. You can't run arbitrary code on the switch to detect button presses, for example. Although, maybe in a future update since it's already involving a shell swap...
I have installed many hwFly's on switch lite's, and they defiantly don't need that metal shield, and it wont affect thermal performance to just not use it. Visually, I think the clear shells also look better without it.
I can't understand how it'll work without jailbreaking the firmware. Surely the Nintendo Switch Lite is omitted from TV out mode, not just by hardware, but at the OS level too?
@@StaticNebula26 I guess that could technically work. But there will still be limitations. The Switch screen resolution is 720p in portable mode, which is lower than the 1080p resolution when docked. Furthermore, some games may run at a lower frame rate or with reduced graphical settings in that portable mode. Mind you, I suppose it would be better than nothing.
Yeah also the battery can get fucked maybe the mod kit should add more capacity battery and thermal paste as it seems to be required to make a final mod
Taki i commented on twitter. At about half beightness on my non touch super 5 on black scenes i have light bleed on the bottom. When i up yhe beoghtness it goes away but eas just wondering what the issue might be?
Can’t wait to get this mod when it comes back into stock. I do have one question about it though. How do we do the hdmi mod? I can’t seem to find a tutorial about it
@TakiII When you do the OLED screen upgrade for the og Switch can you make it look exactly the same size as a Nintendo Switch OLED & add the OLED kickstand ?
Wow never realized a lite screen swap was so involved. My lite has a SX lite chip and I sent it out for that. I want the super 5 plus HDMI mod but I am afraid I might disturb the mod chip install during this process. I also love my yellow lite shell and am not really interested in shell swap but the aluminum shells are very tempting. I got a full aluminum shell fir my V1 and I am waiting for the super 7 to put that on. Maybe I would get ametal gild shell of they have one that looks like the zelda shell only in gild anodized aluminum.
So after following the instructions carefully (alternating with the non-touch video since I was not replacing the shell) I ended up to the point where I am supposed to turn on the Switch to check the screen works. And then, nothing. Not just no output, nothing at all. Fan not even running. If I press the power button long enough, I get a popping sound from the speakers, and that’s it. I tried re-seating every cable. No luck. Now I’ve entirely dismantled the Switch again and it looks like I accidentally tore off the fan cable… ordering another fan but I am not optimistic and hope I have not fried my Switch Lite…
Are there any plans for a vendor in Japan selling these? I'd love to preorder a megakit in Feb. but the terrible usd-yen exchange rate + international shipping basically doubles the price for jp customers😅 I've been watching your videos for quite some time. Congrats on the success of such an awesome project. And Thanks for your time and hard work! 🙏
16:51 What are the 4 White Balance modes? I’m trying to see what are the differences as I don’t see any aside from the Low Brightness and Version Control.
When is the Super HDMI mod video coming out? I don't want to miss the Febuary drop. Also was there ever an OLED mod for the original switch? The HAC-001 model.
Hey Taki absolutely love this mod! My only concerns are is there any PWM Flicker from this like what the oled has? The oled switch gives me some crazy headaches all because nintendo cheaped out, I'm wondering if this could be a good alternative for my lite.
This might help someone: My oled lite did change the profile by just tapping around the battery for some reason. I put some tape over the connector that sits over the battery and under the metal shield and the problem was gone. Weirdly enough I only had the problem after opening the system up a second time to change some buttons I didnt quite like. First time nothing was wrong at all.
Can anyone tell me if the touch version has glass panel or plastic panel? Can we install tempered glass protector on top of the display without interfering the touch sensor? I’m pre ordering the touch mega kit version and thinking do I need to buy tempered glass as well.
Hello! Patiently awaiting my OLED Touch + HDMI version. Do I have to use that new silver back plate for the install? I customized mine with awesome metal silver stickers and don’t really want to replace it lol
I don’t understand the profile buttons being stuck under the shell. Instead of let’s say a key combo like hold + and up. Also won’t they get pressed by the back shell?
@@TakiUdon2 How about not using physical buttons but touch ribbons instead? Like the touch ribbons companies use for Game Boy Advance display replacements to controls color profiles and brightness. Touch ribbons are solderless as well. You could position touch ribbons somewhere under the back of the shell or under the top. This would allow you to change color profiles and brightness by touching the correct spots on the shell. No opening of the shell needed.
Great work! Some quick questions1. will future versions of the kit include some kapton tape (maybe 2-3 cm)? could future versions have the lower-right section of the shields reshaped to avoid the edge interference of the lower shell, or perforated to make that section safer/easier to remove if needed? And final question, are there any possible use cases for the original screens after they are replaced (ie. could they be easily used with 3rd party devices such as Raspberry Pis, other portable gaming consoles, are there markets for resale or could they be donated to electronics repair shops? I would hope that they wouldn't have to sit forever in the pelican case collecting dust.. What do you do with them?
Yes, I added Kapton stickers to the BOM, but I am not sure if they will be in the upcoming orders. For your next question, the right section of the metal shield doesn't exist on the next revision of the metal plate to allow more room for a bigger battery. The plate I am using in this video was only ever meant for the non-touch SKU. Your last question is going to bum me out because RR is not supposed to make e-waste....

If your Switch Lite is old, yes. The sticks in the unit I used for this video were beaten up. You can replace them with cheap standard Switch Lite joysticks or hall effect joysticks from many vendors. I'm using the TMR sticks that are in the Mega Kit.
@@TakiUdon2 In that case, the mobo and the daughter board should come out, then you should remove the old screen using the suction cup and finally you can install the new display? Could I follow a video about replacing the screen and digitizer to also see how it's done?
