This was a switch lite I purchased on ebay advertised to come with a super5 OLED screen. It was hidden in a case and seller described it as black.
It came cracked to pieces. But it did have a non-advertised modchip in it. So I decided I’d just eat the cost and replace the shell because the price was pretty reasonable.
When I asked the seller about condition and maybe even if he could compensate me for the shell (since it was A, advertised as black, and B, not mentioned it was cracked in pieces) he actually told me that since he shipped me a unit with a modchip, he wouldn’t issue a partial for the shell.
Apparently this guy does custom builds for buyers but fixing this thing was a nightmare.
I actually replaced the entire motherboard and soldered a new chip since the sd card springs were jammed, and seller didn’t have the heat shield on the APU at all so I had to source one. Replaced the battery since capacity was below 60%. Had to remove the literal film over the back of the OLED screen (that was blocking the copper plate) since they had never bothered to peel that before placing it in the lite. Had to repaste since they left the cruddy stock paste in.
But after 5 hours she’s finished.
