A coffee filter actually works way better than a paper towel for cleaning off thermal paste because it doesn't leave behind any fibers. Just a piece of advice someone shot my way once that I thought I'd pass on.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Thanks for this 👍

[@screen-protector]

that depends on the quality of the kitchen tower as well. I use from Costco and I'm happy with the quality here in the UK. But, if I buy the cheapest at Asda/Wallmart - no way Jose I'd use it on a daily basis.

[@ThoughTMusic]

@@screen-protector I loves me some Costco, but the perk with coffee filters is that they don't leave behind any fibers or residue by design (no one wants floaters in their coffee), so even the cheapest pack of filters generally will beat out paper towel for removing thermal paste. That said, if you have a go to method that works, then the more power to ya. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :)

Don’t know if anyone has let you know this yet: pre tin the gpu flex then apply flux and reflow to install. 10 million times easier

[@Arthzil]

I'm 99% sure that this comment saved my Switch :) My soldering iron had huge issues melting tin properly, rotated through several heads I got with it before I found the right one. Having pre-tinned pads meant I just had to jab few times so the tin made contacts so felt much safer than applying soder directly on the Switch...

[@jahredking4934]

whats pre tin mean?

[@falconmick]

@@jahredking4934 it means that before you install the component you apply solder to the pads. By doing this when you solder the joint there is a good amount of solder on the pads, which makes it much easier to achieve a good weld

[@SToad]

@@falconmickAnd what does reflow mean, like as in, re-heating the solder on the pads when soldering it to the board?

[@falconmick]

@@SToad I could be using the wired reflow wrong, but what I meant was basically after pre timing, once the part is in place, re-melting the solder I applied so that it melts and makes the weld I was aiming for

this is an hwfly rp2040 based clone, similar to the picofly modchips. this install is by far the easiest out of all chips and all switches because all necessary points come through the nand header. oleds and lites are WAY harder, do not underestimate the switch.

thanks to this video i was able to install a modchip thank you (i had the v2 it was basicallt the same exceot smaller points which took me a long tjme to finish (first time soldering)) also i ended up just having the memory part of the chip hanging out through the fan part instead of cutting out the metal section (thanks to some comments) and then put kapton tapw under it and a like 3 small strips across the top to secure it in place i think it depends on the model maybe its only possible on the v2 also anothee thing is i ddint put all the kapton tape on the ram part or whatever i just did an x just to secure it in place i think thays kind of better so it can still transfer heat but idk

[@nodev1]

Oddly relaxing to watch.

[@Penfold8]

Those are chips, those are SMD Capacitors. You should have used a little more flux on when soldering to the capacitors. It would have made it a little easier instead of trying to drag the solder to the pad. Also, your method can create a cold solder joint. Please clean your tip regularly. I would also get a small file and file down those edges after you cut them to give them a smooth finish. Double stick tape would have been easier to use than all of that Kapton tape you put down. Also, you would want to dissipate that heat so putting tape on top in my humble opinion defeats this purpose.

[@purenatural5736]

I have one of these on the way. Kinda wondering if it will still fit without cutting the shield. Install seems easy enough. Cutting the shield is probably more of a pain in the ass tbh lol (i need to buy a dremel one day 🤣) Thoughts?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

I tried to fit it without cutting but it doesn't fit, probably wouldn't advice leaving the shield off either.

[@jackbauer2698]

Before cutting try routing that part thru the fan opening and laying it on top of the shield (with some protection from shorts in between them ofc - tape etc.) Looks like the black flex cable is far out enough to clear the opening and the indentation in the shield is just the right shape too.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Bit of practice beforehand and you should be ok, the caps are small but if you can zoom in with a camera it really is pretty simple!

[@falconmick]

I had no idea this mod was so easy.. I never looked into anything other than oled and lite and those (especially the lite) are super gnarly compared to this!! This mod is pretty easy the only warning I can give you is if you mess up the soldering on the capacitors under the GPU you sometimes Can get away without the little 0201 cap and the switch will keep working, you’ve just gotta do some stability testing after so if you do knock one of the caps off and loose it OR don’t have a fine tip soldering iron/heat station you might be able to just solder without the cap in

​@@kawasaki_vt4225 this is the exact one i used and it's as easy to apply as it gets since you literally work with a needle. It does take it's time to cure, around 10 hours in room temperature, but you save yourself the hassle of accidentally burning the cpu/gpu and it becomes really hard after curing. I left mine curing for 24h since i time and i didn't want to rush it. For the small surface as the connection between the mod chip and the cpu/gpu is, it really shouldn't move a bit unless you smash your Switch all over the place. But in that case something else would break on the Switch before the contact that is very well protected... i hope, if you use this, that it will provide a very good and safe solution as it did to me...

Some people talk about boot speeds etc but in my experience its seconds so now I use these as they are cheap and most importantly easy to do!

[@ErzTubeHD]

What tin did you use? It seemed to flow really bad… was it like 99,5sn 0,5 cu?

what does it mean if there is a red led on my modchip?

[@Bari2000]

Which Chip I must used to Jailbreak my V2 Switch my serialnumber is XKJ

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

This one does v1/v2

[@Subbmerged]

Is there a chance that the HWfly chip is dead upon arrival and if so what are the chances?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Possibly, I have read it happens, buying from China there is always a risk

[@Subbmerged]

@@fixingmoddingbuilding Is there anyway I can check if the chip is bricked before soldering?

[@arbelbaquirin5109]

Can i Just pre solder the chips so that it would just need to heat them

What is the transparent liquid you use before soldering?

Flux

Can you give a link to the same product you used u can’t find it

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

The links keep getting taken down so just search ali for rp2040

[@yury358]

Will this work on any switch? And do you have to specifically use kapton tape, or can it be any type of tape?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

This works on v1/v2, there is a lite and oled version, I have an oled video due soon. The tape is to secure against shorts, other electrical tape could work but might be thicker?

[@senpaishanix]

One question. Is it still possible to connect your modded nintendo switch after a modchip?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Yes but you need to set up emunand to cut the risk of a ban

[@claudioaverna]

can you confirm if for the nintendo switch oled model are the same soldering point or is more complex? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Yer they keep taking them down, I have bought from different sellers now a few times, all fine just occasionally they do not come flashed.

[@dimitriousdrake]

Preparing to do this soon, do you reckon the "HANDSKIT Soldering Iron" would be alright? It's 60W, and has a temperature knob. Also come with a 0.2mm tip.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

If you are competent then yes, I've only just a bought "decent" soldering iron, always used cheap ones off amazon

[@nickname7966]

Is the normal hwfly (not rp2040) the same soldering procedure?

[@ahb12000]

Hi. In the bag there are 2 cable V1 and V2, What is the difference? Is it for V1 and V2 switch?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Yes, the chips have a different orientation either horizontal or vertical

[@Verrattinho]

is it necessary to use tin with lead?

[@adeebhumayun3229]

This is really convenient, Although is the same available for Oled version??

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Yes but the oled has a little more to it!

[@adeebhumayun3229]

@@fixingmoddingbuilding I went through all of the videos, OLED is a pain. I'll have to look for v1 itself.

Can we use Lite pico2040 modchip in v1 model?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

I think there's work arounds running cables but I don't know how

[@MrNostalgic85]

I have a v1 switch that need an IC repair I believe it turns on it I keep plugged in. The battery is new and charges 100% but if I unplug it it turns off completely with in 3 seconds sometimes immediately. Is there a way to get that repaired?
