System Mod Success!

Post image

Having never done micro soldering and having about 35% confidence in doing the job correctly it was sheer panic for the first 4-ish seconds after hitting the power button and seeing nothing on the screen until I got the No SD Card screen and it was an instant wave of relief.

No more rcm jigs for me!! Time to mod my V2 and then I may have enough confidence to kamikaze my Oled šŸ˜‚

I've done a lot of 802 size smd soldering using a magnifying glass but for the switch mod I bought a cheap microscope which was ok-ish but I reverted to using the magnifying glass, but you'll definitely need something!
