HOW TO EXPOSE THE DAT0 POINT USING THE KAMIKAZE METHOD ON THE OLED

[@rapiqui]

Top class execution as always from Sthetix. Reminds me the old days of the 360 with Mediatek DVD controller for key extraction 😊

[@sthetixofficial]

Thanks again!

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Lots of confidence to do this! :)

[@sthetixofficial]

Definitely!

Glad you like it!

[@prmzngph]

brother you have made it look simple amazing work , now we wait for the newbies to try it. i could anticipate dead switches in the coming months.

[@sthetixofficial]

sure.. this guide is not for newbies 😁

[@Reparatuswitch]

In my opinion, it is not better than fighting with dat0, I already have a video about it

[@prmzngph]

@@Reparatuswitch really depends on what the customer wants if it's presented as an option. anchors without reflow for basic installation will be sufficient.

[@NorthCamZ]

@@prmzngphI had a corner dat0 adapter that came with a hwfly chip I bought ages ago and used that with my instinct v6, been flawless for about 6 months and I’ve dropped it several times 😂

@@cabeopaulo soon at my channel, first try not too clean but works

[@imamalox]

This is honestly genius. To me this doesn't seem THAT dangerous, as long as you don't scratch out the trace below it. I'm guessing the perimeter is so large to give a clear distinction between the layers? Also, are there any traces next to it below the first layer?

[@sthetixofficial]

Yes you are correct. There are other tracks beside it. you can get the scans from x.com/PhenomMod/status/1511571104783077379?s=20

[@imamalox]

Awesome, thanks! Just curious, is this your new go-to method or are you sticking to the dat0 adapters? How much longer does this take you than installing a dat0 adapter?@@sthetixofficial

[@sthetixofficial]

I prefer the less hassle less risk method which is using the dat0 adapter. because the failure rate is low.. I believe different person has different result.

[@Reparatuswitch]

@@sthetixofficial

[@Reparatuswitch]

@@sthetixofficial Doing the second test I cut the two lines, but it is not difficult to reconstruct them, the console was perfect

[@wpwentzell]

Hi! It would be nice if you could show a proper install using this method so we can see how it works with the ribbon adapter for point A.

[@sthetixofficial]

do not use ribbon cable - i found it generates interference so you cannot boot to the OFW. Use individual wires instead.

[@카베-c9h]

This is insane method thx for sharing

[@sthetixofficial]

Any time

[@JuanCarlos-pk8rg]

It is the best kamikaze I have seen, in the forums people exaggerated saying that it was very deep to reach the third layer that you could go through the other side of the card 🤣 I already see the Chinese making a square-shaped adapter and based on the green line, sthetix will soon be contracted by NASA

[@sthetixofficial]

hahaha :)

[@antoniomoraavalos9120]

Me parece interesante este metodo, lo intentare pronto... Tengo una oled con instinct v6 pero en algunas ocasiones se me ha apagado y el dat0 se mueve y tengo que abrirla para colocarlo biej y volver a entrar a la magia. Asi que intentare este metodo ya que usar calor si me da miedo.

[@RolaDsigns]

this is an amazing mod !, it reminds me the kamikaze mod for some dvd drives back in the x360 days , and tbh doesnt seem that hard, probably some sticker guides and could be easily located like the guide jigs for drilling the x360 drives XD

[@sthetixofficial]

it is exactly 1mm from the A point : x.com/sthetixofficial/status/1730725655665631239?s=20

[@ItalianRetroGuy]

I only use this method

[@chasefournier]

I stopped by this video because I just had to see it done. Bro I could never do this lol

[@AkumaKumaa]

True, the only reliable solution. Those DAT0 adapter never works for long run no matter how much soldering point it have designed to stable it, it always slipped off after long run. But with this method. Have done it on >10 devices and none of them got any problems after a year.

[@JDSSMan]

Hi. This method solves the DATA0 problem of the DATA0 adapter? My switch have to return to assistence every 3 to 4 months to resolder the points.

[@bitelaserkhalif]

I think so, since it has stronger bond, unlike the dat0 adapter that doesn't solder the EMMC BGA

[@Rartillo]

Good work! Its better than dat0 adapter

[@nickwaters2802]

I reball the entire nand onto a non-flex breakout pcb. The benefit is that it also gives you easy access to the D A C points without having to grind anything on OLED keeping the board in perfect condition for long term. But if you kill the nand with all that heat, it's over. (I haven't seen you film this method. Video idea?) but this is the first time i've seen something else that looks just as reliable, maybe even faster! In my opinion the flimsy dat0 flex under the chip is not good enough and will always eventually disconnect. How does the kapton tape help you find the zone to grind? What are you aligning it to? It seems judging the position in relation to the cap might be easier. Thanks for the video!

[@John-oo9xu]

I have a launch model with a Dat0 adapter working for 2+ years now. There is no doubt it stays working if the adapter is properly installed. It all comes to experience and the right technique. Just as reliable as the corona postfix adapter.

[@nickwaters2802]

Glad to hear

[@sthetixofficial]

I agree!

[@sthetixofficial]

This guide will help you x.com/sthetixofficial/status/1730729354454581424?s=20

[@bitelaserkhalif]

The other method that involves adapter seems to be easier but unreliable (fail to boot). The reason IMO, because it doesn't grip solder balls on EMMC BGA. Alternative method involves interposer board for EMMC. The drawback for that? Reball failures.

[@sthetixofficial]

do not alter the emummc solder pads or even remove it, as it is not stable too,.. at some point, the solder will crack.

[@GamersCharisma]

Would it be possible to grind down through the layers with some other manual tool? I'm thinking it may be easier/safer to attempt to go a more "slow and steady" type of approach, but unsure if that would actually be feasible and what tools could be considered for that

[@sthetixofficial]

i think drilling/grinding is the best.

[@myriadtechrepair1191]

Gotta give this a try. Doesn't seem all that bad.

[@Meowtional]

which solder paste is recommended cause i saw one of your video's where you put solder paste onto the kamikaze point mind sharing a link of the one you use maybe from amazon? gonna attempt this soon already ordered everything i need i just need the solder paste still

[@sthetixofficial]

any solder paste is fine, but choose the one that is not lead free so the melting temperature is 180c or less.

[@snooooop1]

I have also tried this Method unfortunately I did not quite well. I grinded to deep and removed the DAT0 connector and the one next to it without noticing it. Since I still can se a small portion of the DAT0 can I still use it to make my connection? Have I maybe break something while grinding... I´m currently at layer 4.... I see the layer/coper below DAT0...

[@sthetixofficial]

as long as you can fix it, then the console will start again.

[@snooooop1]

​@sthetixofficial 😅 yes your right, can you tell me is the trace enough that I have left to continue? Is there anything else connected to the actual dat0 pont in this method? If nothing else connected than I think I'm good right?

[@sthetixofficial]

you need to learn from this schematic files.zzattack.org/index.php?dir=img%2Fconsole%2Fswitch

what grinder/drill bit is this? I know you mentioned 0.2mm, but what shape is it? a drill? a round diamond ball? if you could share a link of the picture that would be great!

[@QuentinMatthysBoeckmansYJ]

Sounds like a Sthetix only Mod !!! XD

[@michaelburns4020]

Is there a similar technique to expose clk? My very first attempt, I destroyed the via at the D point. I still have that switch, but no hot air rework station. If I could fly a jumper from the clk trace to the emmc, perhaps that switch could live...

[@sthetixofficial]

it is harder than exposing the CLK point.

[@superbading1997]

I'd like to see a video of the grinding in normal speed

[@sthetixofficial]

i have the video of it - will upload it later.

[@user-bw5hk5nb3k]

Hello, which speed should I choose from 1-5, would I choose between 1-2? Does it take a long time to drill through layer 2? I would like to try this giant because the dat0 adapters are simply disgusting

[@sthetixofficial]

1 is enough. it took me about 5 - 10 minutes to get to the C point.

[@amirudinsahri7978]

I see the resistor miss at your video,..does the resistor that was pulled out need to be replaced... or is there no problem if not replaced

[@sthetixofficial]

i did not replace or alter the resistor.

[@John-oo9xu]

The adapter works fine, but nice work though. Gives me flashbacks to the Wii drive mobo.. no desire to go back lol

[@morganragland5568]

Hi! I’m having a problem and I would love your help. I have an OLED switch with an HW FLY mod chip that I “kinda” installed. I purchased a modded motherboard from AliExpress and I’m having trouble with it I can get into hekate but if I try to boot into sys or emu or bone stock I get no where. Stock will stop at the switch logo (not Nintendo logo) and the CFW will stop after the black and white atmosphere logo. It won’t be responsive until I hold the power button for 10-15 seconds, then start over. I tried your level 1 unbrick so far but that didn’t change anything. Where should I start? Thank you so much!!!

[@sthetixofficial]

i dont know what the problem is BUT, maybe you need to remove the chip wires and see if the console can boot to the OFW.

[@skylogmalaysia]

I always had problem with flux seeping under dat0 and disturbing the signal and boot failure after a while. And now choosing not to use flux anymore for dat0. Can u recommend me a good no clean non conductive flux

[@sthetixofficial]

If you are using flux, please flush it with IPA before closing the eMMC cover. even the best flux (no clean flux) is corrosive. FYI, i use the original v3 flux from amtechdirect.

[@nickyandreawan26]

Mas tanya, dat0 pake adapter tu emang gabisa 100% beres kah? Atau teknisi di kotaku yg skill nya blom top? 😂 Aku 2x kali benerin kayak gini, ga tahan lama mesti balik lagi biru, kuning kedip 2 kali 3 kali, bablas ofw Tiap abis maen di outdoor, atau abis panas kayak gitu Kronologi 1 tiba tiba gagal masuk hekate, di ganti dat0, bisa Next udah seminggu abis maen outdoor gitu lagi, ternyata kable flex nya.
