Still promoting the super7 on his discord in the super5 channel whilst people are posting non stop issues with the super5. No shame Taki. Focus on delivering one product and get the super5 finished first - you owe that to the people who paid in September 2024 in good faith. You’re already months late.
don't get me wrong i think he has been relatively transparent recently regarding the hdmi delay, (at least compared to prelaunch) but the echo chamber on discord also don't help. it's CRAZY how you get called out just for having a functioning brain instead of glazing a literal for-profit company (i do understand if it was a FOSS project)
While I appreciate Taki's transparency, it's just really disappointing. I just got a refund. A Switch Light screen replacement isn't worth half a year's wait imo.
I was told I put too much pressure on the touch cable and broke the driver chip, which is absolutely not true. I was even more careful than Taki in this video. I'm 99999.999% certain i received a faulty screen. I installed one in a nother lite with no issue, the second one shows a rgb snow show. Sucks.
@@bmwmd110 You’re not the only one with a variety of issues. This product was/is being rushed out due to it not being ready. You guys are basically beta testers who’ve been charged to beta test.
This is not acceptable, Taki did not mention those failure points in the last tutorial video. And customer service just threw all the responsibility to people who followed the tutorial.
@@utc8356 Yea i like Taki and appreciate him working on the screen mod. I would have been happy to beta test and donate to the cause. I reached out to support for advice more than for a replacement but when they immediately blamed me my whole mindset changed.
@@utc8356 Taki will just ignore comments like this. The new video is in direct response to 100’s of people with the same issues/broken screens because he rushed out the last install video and rushed out the screens. He’s been critical in the past of other companies doing far less than he is doing now. I’m super disappointed with the whole experience and there’s no end in sight for us who ordered the mega kits yet. No touch, less colors, no combined OLED and HDMI and more install videos all tell a story. I get new products have issues but people have had to basically tell him to tell us all WTF is going on at every step of this “launch”. He was forced into a shipping dashboard that never gets updated lol and forced into uploading a new tutorial because the last one sucked. I feel sorry for the people who have paid to be beta testers for this.
Taki mentioned many failure points only in this video, not in the last video. So what are people gonna do if they follow the last tutorial and break their screen?
Hey Taki, thanks for the video. I know this isn't the right place and I had also already e-mailed the sales team but I had pre-ordered this screen mod back in September and still haven't received mine yet. This is taking a bit too long. Thanks!
Will the Mega Kit with the Super5 OLED Touch + HDMI restock then? Would it only be available for the Black Mega Kit, or will Atomic Purple or Clear Blue be available to get as well with the Touch + HDMI version one last time, or would I need to order an additional screen separately if I want Blue or Purple?
A day after I did mine 😭 thank you for the guide, though! My omly issue is that the right side of the screen doesn't sit flat. Even after taking it apart again, all I could see was that the black tape on the connector was getting in the way. Edit: I see now the issue I'm having. Let's hope I can fix it
Yes I had the same issue with mine. I installed mine a week ago and the right side of my screen doesn’t sit completely flat. It’s slightly annoying but doesn’t affect playing. I don’t think I’ll take mine apart again and just go with it. I should have waited for the official install video lol
I managed to mostly fix it! I took it apart one last time and managed to peel the cable up just enough to get it to slide in place properly! Now there's just a tiny bit of a bulge in the bottom right that seemed to pop up right at the end. Maybe the heat sink? And the touch screen is a bit iffy on the sides. But much better than it was before, so I think I'll live!
This is a common issue that 100’s of people have reported on his discord. Lots of people have totally wrecked their screens trying to rectify it. So either have the bulging screen or risk breaking the whole thing and wait months for an opportunity to buy another and get it delivered mid 2025? He will have to give a lot of replacement screens for free to 100’s of people to even begin to make this mess right.
Taki, do these super 5 oled screens have flicker and use Pulsed Width Modulation technology like the nintendo oled? Id like to buy one but have not seen details about this. Thank you.
I got my Super5 OLED kit last week and I installed in my Diamond/Pearl Switch lite, and the screen is gorgeous! Question though, is it running in 720P or 1080P? Because the OLED quality is outstanding, games look brand new.
@@rentoptional1524 hasn’t even got the first batch out to us who purchased them in September. Waiting for nearly 1000$ worth of them with no shipping date confirmed yet.
was lucky to get one before it got sold out again recently! best purchase for the price ive had my gf installed it for me and its crisp and beautiful! i do have one question what battery would you recommend me getting? i installed one from amazon a 5080mAh but it seems to last not as long as id hope for…
@@TakiUdon2 we've been continuously asking for the HDMI oled version video, but you keep uploading videos with the super5 oled. It doesn't even make any sense, you even completely ignore questions about the hdmi mod.
@@aceorionyep, this whole experience has left a lasting negative impression. Got an email inviting me as a valued customer to buy a super station last week whilst still waiting for 1000$ worth of product with no delivery date. 😂😂😂
The whole thing has been a disaster. This video should’ve been done prior to anyone receiving a screen but Taki is off doing other projects like the Super Station, Super7 OLED and even some crap on IPods 😂😂😂 his Discord is full of people with broken screens who’ve followed his original install video. You can’t mention any constructive criticism on his Discord though or you’ll be met with hostility of his group of Taki meat riders.
@niccolobernardo2946 I didn't know about any of that. I'm not on the discord. All I know is, I have a few friends wanting OLED switch lites, now I'm stuck holding almost $1,000 in pre-orders I thought id have last fall (sep-nov) And on top of all that, I keep getting sent more invoices for "increased shipping costs" which I have paid twice already
yes a lot of delays and long winded explanations why - still no date for our products. Lots of people have also had to pay extra for shipping, I think the website calculated the wrong shipping at the time you ordered (more issues) Taki isn’t ever going to offer the same products moving forward with reduced colors available in future so that should be a huge sign that he knows it’s been a shitshow. Not getting an in-depth tutorial out prior to loads of people breaking their screens which they’ve waited for way longer than initially promised isn’t great. Taki could’ve done this video before being all over social media promoting other products. I won’t ever purchase anything off Retro Remake again. Im still not confident we will see the mega kits until the middle of this year or worse, ever. Taki is constantly planting seeds to manage expectations of us who are waiting for products still. I can see him ending up offering money back or take a reduced mega kit. February now and still no further forward.
Just thumbing through bc i miss your proper handheld reviews but in a tutorial for switch owners you should probably refrain from using pointed tweezers to pull up pcbs.. fastest route to blowing a trace for a noobie tech

Any dates for the HDMI mod?
When are they going to be restocked?
OLED within 2 months, OLED Touch HDMI after that.
@@TakiUdon2 Will Oled Touch or any other Super5 mod be compatible with modchips?
@@TakiUdon2is there any sort of thingy that we can sign up for to get a notification as soon as they age back in stock?
@@TakiUdon2 thank you! Do you know where you will announce the restock?

are there going to be more screen/kits available in the future to purchase ?

yesss finally
Will the HDMI mod be available to order separately, or would I have to order the whole kit in order for it to work properly?
It will be available separately.
@@TakiUdon2 OK, thank you so much!
@@TakiUdon2 Also, once I'm able to get one, I will probably do a review for it, since it's such a cool mod! I look forward to it!
@@TakiUdon2 Will you do an installation guide on the HDMI version? Nevermind you said it in the video.
I'm ok with dremeling part of that frame if it means not putting any stress on the screen and tightening screws.
Would that be possible?
restock when
Wow. What a cool mod, I totally want one of these screens for my... ...and it's out of stock.
And most likely being discontinued after this batch
did this last night and had a issue where the screen came no but buttons didnt work

Will you restock the mega touch kits again?

Estou ansioso pelo SUPERHDMI 🎉
And still no HDMI :(
I just installed mine right before this video is uploaded
which version, touch, or non-touch? If the touch version how did the install go?
Will this restock?
Need this for the golden zelda lite. And OLED touch for v1
Waiting eagerly for the V1 OLED mod!
@@jierenzheng7670 pointless lol doing any hardware mods on a V1 is a waste of time due to how weak a system it is. At least get a V2.
this!!!

He’s shipping a pair of those tweezers with every mega kit he’s sold 💀💀💀 thanks for the heads up
Why does he keep saying “backlight”? It’s an OLED, the whole point is that the pixels self illuminate.
Because that connector and wire are still for a backlight. They still serve the same purpose.
@@TakiUdon2 Got ya. 👍
I can't wait to see the HDMI version of this kit. Seeing as how things can easily be damaged I might mail in my Switch Lite for the install
