DSI USB C to C Modding Process

[@Johntriger]

Hardest part is taking the port off, make sure to get all pads as liquid as possible to not pull them off the mobo. Take your time and do not pry hard at all, light pressure is all that is required.

are you open to giving any consulting over discord or anything like that by any chance? im trying to learn all this on my own from scratch and would be willing to pay for some one-on-one lessons

[@Johntriger]

@@AP1million send me a DM Alpha=.05 Can't promise one on one lessons or you paying me for helping but message me with questions and I'll get back to you when I can. Love to help people willing to learn. It's not too difficult to replace ports, hardest part is getting over the fear of messing up.

Same process for the XL? Kinda hard to see where the resistors are soldered to.

[@Johntriger]

Yeah the middle two pins have to both have 5.1kohm resistors soldered to ground which is on the left when looking at the port with the dsi open. Same port on dsi and dsi xl

@@Johntriger Still waiting on my dsi xl to arrive so ill be able to come back here :).

@@Johntriger And the positive is wired just as normal?

[@Johntriger]

Yeah if you are looking at the motherboard the positive is on the right and goes directly to a fuse the left side is ground shares the same plane as the mounting pins. I tie the two middle cc1 and cc2 pins to ground using 5.1kohm resistors one connected to each. This will enable c2c if you dont care about that then just solder the positive and negative pins. The fuse should read 000 on continuity mode on your multimeter, check it if charging doesn't work.

[@Soul94255]

Are the resistors necessary for usb-c to usb-a charging?

[@Johntriger]

Nope just for c to c you simply have to connect one power pin and one ground. I choose the power pin on the right since it lines up with the board and just bend the left one till it snaps off. Have fun modding!
