[@Notpoop906]

it doesn't really matter, but it's a lot easier and less likely to cause damage by wiggling it left and right if you just use a sewing needle to lever the little latches on the APU shield outwards. Then the shield comes off extremely easily without the need to wiggle it and bend it.

[@sasuke65743]

True, i did that while i was figuring a way to not damage stuff since i got a hard time to open it and i didn't want to bend it ike crazy from 1 angle.

Hi mate. Looking to get the same thing done. What did you need to setup on the sd card before you gave it to him. And how did you do it before the switch had the modchip installed. Did you use the same sd card from a v1?

[@Essjaythegreat]

@@MrPCEnthusiast I bought a sandisk ultra and just left it inserted it into the switch. He needs the sd card for hekate and atmosphere files once the mod chip is installed. Don’t buy anything other than a sandisk ultra or a Samsung evo as they have ideal read write speeds for the switch, anythin less and you might run into problems... a sd card that runs at faster speeds is a waste of money as the switch can only read speeds of up 100mbs Hope all goes well 👍🏾

[@OtakuSanel]

as someone who installed the hwfly into an oled switch, this process is not for the faint of heart. it is soo easy to totally destroy the switch. though i will say you did a very poor job trimming that shield, in fact with some vibration i suspect the sharp edges you left will cut through the ribbon cable. Need to get some better diagonal cutter and file down those cut edges. Also at least for the hwfly you can solder extra connections to update it through the switche's usb port and i guess you either didn't do it or that chip doesn't come with that option. Also you don't need to re-flow the mmc it just introduced a risk you break something even more. Not sure it'll work with that adapter but you can put them under spring tension for just as good of a connection.

That copper wire you're using, I assume it has a thin layer of insulation? Does that melt away when you solder it to a point like you do? I figure it must have some insulation considering the wires are all crossing & touching each other.

[@DoRC]

Yes this is typically called magnet wire and it has a thin coating of insulation that melts off as it's soldered. It's the same stuff that's used for the windings on electric motors.

Thank you for this clear explanation. I will try to make it myself. But which wire do you use exactly?

[@REALfreaky]

Most people use very tiny insulated wires known as "magnet wire". The insulation melts off at high heat so it makes a fine connection when soldered.

[@NICKLASFARFAR]

Are those copper wires insulated? I don't see you scraping off any insulation, so I presume it melts away when soldering?

Ye, I think they're enamel wires so it most likely just melts away with the solder iron

[@tonyleonx]

[@Aprilia75000]

Hello, I have two questions, why don't you use the other flexible cable? And what is the heat for soldering?

[@FexiSponge]

I can't speak for him but I usually use 600f to solder and 700f to desolder. You don't use the flex cables because it can cause interference with sysnand which is the official one. Though the newer ones are finding ways to use flex cables while not interfering. Lastly I wanna mention that they also are starting to not recommend reflowing the dat0 adapter. Apparently the chip can be damaged a bit after heating up, even if going slowly which has a higher failure rate than using friction

[@af6727]

I've watched all your OLED installation videos. Learning something new everytime! The USB meter tip was great. Do you change the tip only for point D? and What's the name of tips you use? My last question is how much do you set your soldering iron station? 350C? Thanks for sharing.

[@tvpartsworld806]

I change the tip for JBC C245-001 only for point D and A. Normally I use JBC C245-102. My soldering station is cheap AIFEN-A9 PRO with JBC handles. I use original JBC tips. I've ordered AIFEN A902 dual soldering station as swapping the tips is annoying. Soldering station is set up for 350C

Only way to tell is to remove the board and read the print on the chip. Doesn't really matter tho.

Hi friend! I installed hwfly with oled v6 kit but the console starts only in stock mode and the chip led is white The strange thing is having 450 on all points and 382 on B Those are a bit low…

Best for me is't NOT instinct, but 4.2 WHFLY product or now is Pico 2040, becarefully. Thx.

[@douglascalixto9086]

Hwfly 4.2 is very stable in oled or lite. I like it too.

[@Deltax5]

wouldn't mod any switch. I just think Nintendo will break it with there updates or something. What does this chip offer? Hey if it doesn't break when Nintendo updates there firmware. All good. Playing online is a big concern for me. Big reason. I hope emulation gets that much better.

[@skiez7430]

when a update breaks any software mods. They will be updated. And no, a update cannot break the modchip
