Marshall says this last batch of kits suffered the same lack of solder in the hdmi connector mount holes as the last batch, but he’s going through them one at a time and fixing them. They will likely ship to me in a week or 2…

Kevtris says china has started shipping the next batch of 500 kits to him!
I will share info as it comes in!
The kits from last pre order are done and with Marshall, he will start on programming and testing soon!
No word on when next pre order will happen, hopefully soon as well, i’ll let you know when!
In regard to the last pre order (Feb 16th – 20th)
Fab is finishing up the board production now and is expecting
completion on the flex around May 5.
I told the fab about the hdmi connector solder problem and they should correct it on the next batch. It didn’t seem to a be a big thing at first – I test all the plugs by bending the HDMI cable on them and did rework about 30% myself but the rest were fine. It seems the people who aren’t cutting out the HDMI slot opening correctly are going to definitely see problems since that will fail to provide strain relief. But it’s better to avoid that altogether.
Won’t be an issue on these next boards.
IT’S NOT FOR SALE YET! BUT SOON!!!!!
This is only to see approx how many ppl want one!

#HiDefNES update: Kevtris informed me that another batch of 500 hi-def nes kits are already on order! The fab has been paid and are acquiring components now!
As of 4-6-2018 the 500 kits are sold out, in less than 2 weeks! WOW!
Watch this area or my twitter feed for info on the next sale.
#HiDefNES corrections:
I forgot that the AC adapter will not work on the av fami without a polarity reverser cable or internal mod. Will make a note and try to change the shop variables to keep this combo from being ordered or adjust price to add the reverser or extra mod.
Also, you will receive 2 long ribbon cables in your front loader kit order, this is due to a shortage of 6″ cables!
I added a note in the install guide.
#HiDefNES update: All orders up through 4365 are shipped.
It’s a much slower process than ultrahdmi so I get less orders done per day.
There are way more parts and complication with this kit so BE PATIENT, you will get an email with track info when I ship.
#UltraHDMI update: Marshall says the fab has started gathering parts and also started making pcbs!
