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).
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?
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
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.
@@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...
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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?
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.
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’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
@ no, I was given a tracking number that was delivered to some other address on 11/12/24 then called ups and emailed them about it and was told my order hadn’t shipped yet then contacted them again and told I’d be provided a tracking number when mine does. So, what email are you referencing? I’m fine to wait but haven’t been given any explanation.
@@Pit0fDespair Hello, You are receiving this e-mail because you have a current SUPER5 OLED preorder with a listed November shipping date. Please read the following e-mail for a status update on your order. SUPER5 OLED Touch Creating a custom glass touch panel for the Switch Lite has been an extremely challenging journey. When SUPER5 went on sale at the end of September, we had two independent companies working on a touchscreen solution. The first company had a working plastic touchscreen, while the second only had failed glass panels that did not support continuous touch. Based on the time it takes to produce prototype revisions, I set a November delivery date to give us enough time to create at least three further revisions. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough. Company A Let's start with Company A since they were originally the main hope that we had to meet the November shipping date. This company had a working touchscreen from day one because they worked with a company that produces clone digitizers for the Switch Lite. This company can do color-matched digitizers, but I limited the options they needed to produce to white and black. That is why those were the only colors available at launch. As I stated, this company had a working plastic digitizer before we started to sell SUPER5 in September. Since they have a working plastic digitizer (touch film glued to a plastic front plate), they should be able to just glue the touch film to a glass panel and call it a day, right? I wish it were that simple. Capacitive digitizers are incredibly annoying, and anything that you put in front of them changes the way they work. If you take a film that has all of the correct values from a plastic frame and put it on glass, all of the values change and the screen will no longer work. It will either have zones with no input, or it will not support continuous input (IE, you can't drag your finger across the screen). To date, this company produced two working plastic touch panels, and two failed glass touch panels. Company B That brings us to Company B. This company is the one that I used to color-match all of the stock Switch Lite screens. If they could make a working glass digitizer, that would mean we could offer replacement touch displays in the 8 original colors. The problem is they had no idea how to make a working digitizer for the Switch Lite. When SUPER5 went on sale in September, this company had two revisions under their belt and neither of them worked. Out of 720 possible lines for touch input, their first two screens could only register input on 1-3 lines. On September 28th, the company gave us the 3rd and 4th iteration. These screens supported continuous input, but only 90% of the screen was functional. The problem is that they didn't know why the other 10% didn't work, and they initially didn't seem motivated to fix it (I was asked if 90% was acceptable for mass production and I refused). We had a big meeting on October 10th with their engineers to try and get to the root of the problem. Using their debug tools, we were able to determine why their first four screens didn't work, as well as what they would need to do to create a working screen. I was very optimistic after leaving that meeting because even if they couldn't create a working screen, I could at least explain to another provider exactly how to do it. From October 10th to now, it has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs with Company B. Here's an overview: October 17th - Versions 5-9 are created, and they have dead input on the left and right sides. Several do not support continuous input, and they also have grounding issues. October 28th - Versions 11 & 12 are created. Version 11 passes my tests and fully works. I request OCA samples for final verification before mass production. November 16th - 4 OCA verification samples arrive. All four fail to support continuous input and can only work when they are manually grounded on each reboot. Debug data shows a 5% increase in capacitance value over version 11. November 25th - Versions 13-16 arrive. All four work.
part 2 SUPER5 HDMI Like SUPER5 OLED Touch, SUPER5 HDMI has been a challenge to finish. When SUPER5 HDMI went on preorder, we had our first prototype revision made. I originally did not plan to preorder SUPER5 HDMI at all, but we had a lot of requests from potential customers to allow them to preorder this SKU during the main launch. SUPER5 HDMI was supposed to ship 30 days after the non-touch SUPER5 OLED screens, and that would give us a little over a month and a half to iron out issues before shipment. It would also give us enough time to do at least one further hardware revision in a worst-case scenario. We are now beyond the worst-case scenario. We have done ~3 SUPER5 HDMI revisions since September. The first two failed either due to manufacturing complexity or signal integrity issues. Three days ago, we finished work on the 3rd revision. Unlike the previous two, the HDMI side of this revision fully works, and it is amazing to see it in person. The problem is that the OLED half of this solution doesn't work due to signal integrity issues. Unlike SUPER5 OLED Touch where I can estimate the shipment date with a margin of error of two weeks or so, SUPER5 HDMI has too many unknowns. What I do know is that we need at least one further revision to fix the OLED signal issues. That revision is happening right now. Depending on the complexity of this revision, it can take up to 20 days to get a prototype back. That prototype then needs to be debugged to see if there are any further issues. If there are no further issues, we are looking at an additional 20-25 days to get back a mass-production version. Again, all of this assumes that the next revision is the final revision. If it is not, you can see how things can get out of control.

this is most definitely the case yes. it will be different because of the hdmi board obviously but the process should be similar.
@@chosen3033I don’t think so. It’s advertised as just needing a simple motherboard swap. The screen is already installed in the replacement shell.
Will you do a tutorial that will have the TV out upgrade?
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?
@skycloud4802 my thought was since it's a new screen, they just hijack the screen signal and convert it to a signal that can be sent to the TV

Hey Taki do you recommend swapping out the analogue sticks since you have the console opened up? And which sticks would you recommend?
This looks great! As there is estimate on when ordering will be available again?
I believe February
@@ptrix Thanks
I miss your retro handheld reviews, and your musk.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Will that case and screen allow room to swap out for better hall sensor sticks? I absolutely hate the Nintendo Switch sticks.
This screen mod is definitely worth the wait and delays
Do you ship to the Philippines? Planning to order the mega kit when it comes back in February.
Is there an estimate for when the first pre orders of these will ship?
When the mega kit video uploaded and shipped?

Yes need this for real let's goooo !!!!!!!
So, can you install it like the non touch one? I like my shell and don't want to replace it.
Can we not swap the Super5 Touch screen like you did on the other video you posted? I don't plan on doing a shell swap.
i wish you would make v1/2 switch oled mod
is capton tape something I have to source myself?
most likely
