My advice for those new to soldering is when soldering to those SMD caps, do one side and let it cool for a bit so you don't over heat it and knock it off. If you knock off those caps it's a bear trying to solder them back in place.
@Speck046 ай бұрын
thank you, way easier than it looks tbh, had a little trouble soldering those 2 capacitors but i did it
@scilor8 ай бұрын
No need to bend open the locks, use a plastic tool for that. Using a needle may damage the PCB. Use kapton tape to secure the other caps, so you won't solder them by chance.

Hello, I just ordered a picofly modchip for my switch and also some additional tools (flux, smaller tips for my soldering iron) Is there a specific solder temperature you recommend for the install?
@fixingmoddingbuilding2 ай бұрын
You want to keep it low, but too low and the solder won't flow easily. 320/340c. Keep the flux on it, also don't keep the iron on anything too long as this will loosen the chips. Try and practice before doing the real thing

Bro! Your video is the best for those who are trying it for the first time.

When I turn on my Nintendo the screen turns on but it doesn't show anything. Do you think that if I remove the cable and put in the correct one it will work?
