Oh yea, even with soldering experience I paid to have someone do it for me. It was pricey, but far less costly than ruining my switch with my dollar store iron. People need to respect the expertise, and their equipment, as well as time.

I was hoping you would revisit this with waveshare's new RPi 2040 tiny development board. It drops the USB and buttons, reducing your work load. It appears that it may have resistors already in place too. Edit: I was mistaken about the resistors on 27, 28, and 29, but it should still be an easier process

Was just wondering if picofly is better than hwfly. Your timing is brilliant 😂❤

[@Xorthis]

In function, it's reported as faster at glitching than HWfly so it is better. It's also much much cheaper (The RP2040-zero board is about $10 and hwfly close to $100). The disadvantage is it is harder to install since you need to solder the resistors to the RP2040 and also remove the switches and USB port (if you don't remove them the switch won't close up again).

[@antonwestin5464]

@@Xorthis I don't think glitching time is very important. You don't exactly reboot a switch very often. The picofly has automatic glitch timing adjustment and reset on failure though, which is much more interesting for longevity without having to unscrew and/or tinker with the switch.

[@Xorthis]

@@antonwestin5464 I never said it was important, I just pointed out a difference. And yep, the autoreset on failure is another advantage. It will be even better once the hwfly creators release their RP2040 based revisions which will be easier to install and much cheaper.

Hello, this is my case, I spent 3 days reading and I can't find additional information, we installed this chip in a 100% new OLED, the machine worked about 5 times until I reached the joycon configuration menu, then it gave the error in the photographs When I opened it, the chip just turned on blue and I did not enter hetake anymore, the chip was removed, all the points were checked, I changed the resistance that everyone mentions in different cases and nothing, 2 times it gave purple screen but now it does not turn on everything, what else can we do? Was the chip that damaged a 100% new machine? We have installed the old chips and no problem, now we don't know what to do if we install these chips? How can we try to repair this machine?

Wanted to ask when you use those small wires for the modchips from point to point, does it matter that they are touching each other, or criss-cross against each other. I.e. electric or data. As its seems it doesn't, as I saw 2 video's and you leave them touching each other

[@DXJG]

@@Xorthis here in this country the soldiers does not recommend use that mod chip in oled. They use the recent one.

[@Xorthis]

@@DXJG Of course they would, since to install picofly you need to prep the RP2040 itself by removing components and soldering the resistors. It's more work. At the end of the day the work you do on the console is pretty much the same. You still need to either reflow the EMMC or use a bridge, you still have to scratch the CLK point and you still need to solder MOSFETS on the APU. The chip itself is not going to brick the console any more than HWFly (As I said before, hwfly now uses RP2040 chips too, that is the latest version)

[@DragonEdge10]

Reflow isn't exactly safe either since it can lead to the bga cracking. Unless you're reballing and doing a direct solder onto dat0, it makes more sense to friction mount since realigning the adapter is way easier than reballing the emmc if something goes wrong.

Great work. Can I get a link for your chisel soldering tip?

Nice video! I noticed your diode reading on the CPU is a lot lower than mine. The value on mine is a lot closer to the value of the RST point. So around 1.1-1.2 but your CPU measurement was around 0.450. Any idea why this is? I have no problems with my install and to be honest I never noted the values on the first few installs I just used diode mode to check for shorts. I used a HWFLY CPU cable for a Switch Lite and I soldered to the third pin counting from the one with the white triangle the same as you in this video. Any idea why my value would be so different even though it works fine?

[@Xorthis]

The diode value reading isn't important. As long as it's showing a connection with no short it's good to go. You should expect to see between 400-800 on the multi, 1.1 is still good too.

Teflon is actually a little easier to work with as you can simply melt the teflon off the wire ends when soldering. Enamel can be a bit tougher to strip and tin with heat. As you can see he pretinned the wires to avoid holding the iron on the components while waiting for the enamel to strip.
