I really enjoy your editing style.

Thanks

[@JoaoRyanPlim]

Me too 🎉

[@Cheesepizza222]

Awesome video. By any chance can you drop a link for the tools and wires used?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

@@Cheesepizza222 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYiynoZ4dr12sK8si=DpYbZYudIn5gP6FJ I did this video with a few of the things I use, changed my microscope a few times since then though!

[@Thiendao97]

where to get firmware file?

[@cloudedmemory000]

What wire did you use on this project? I'm about to attempt, but the only thing i don't know is the wire gauge and type..

[@takeya52]

What is have read so far is always 34 or 36 AWG wire

[@RedragonKid]

Heads up for beginners, the point where you scratch is the hardest of all.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

There is many parts that are hard, if you do it, slow and steady, its one of my least favourite mod chips to install!

[@RedragonKid]

@@fixingmoddingbuilding Yea, i wish i got a normal v2 switch.

[@nateavis5686]

What soldering iron are you using in this video? Is it the TS101 you showed in your equipment video? I am using a cheap one from Amazon. I was thinking of upgrading.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Yes I use the ts101, really good, good choice of tips. Before that I just used a cheap non branded one, did the job just sometimes hard to get the tips to get hot enough to solder well

[@nateavis5686]

@@fixingmoddingbuilding Thank you

[@andreamitchell4758]

looks like this microscope doesn't have as much magnification as others price is pretty good I wonder if it can be placed on an articulable arm and if you can update the optics? i am really having a hard decision as beginner who wants to get into installing these chips or at least installing an RCM X86 on my extra V1 erista. also can you tell us which iron and tip you used and recommend solder and flux?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

I feel like it zooms in as good as the others I've used, plus it has a digital zoom in it too. I could have gone closer but was happy with the distance. Like all of them I think they would fit on a boom arm if needed.

[@andreamitchell4758]

@@fixingmoddingbuilding yeah I am really having a hard time deciding what about hose ones that are just advertised as 4k camera sensors microscopes with a boom arm don't those allow you to look closer and with more room to work height wise? the ones I have been look at are like $80-100 on aliexpress but then there are ones that look like scope in the video on boom arm but they are expensive, ad like $240 I am a vine member and have passed on few of the scopes with bases because of tax reasons and because they looked to not zoom enough but I am really not sure how to read specs and I just don't trust the advertising because like a lot of this Chinese stuff it can be very misleading sometimes. I see some advertised as "coin microscopes"' and I though the difference is that the coin ones need to have the scope up close to the works area where as ones with better optics (and sensors?) for soldering can be positioned high above and still achieve good magnification. I am looking for the best price to performance ratio for my needs as a beginner. I hear people say the boom arm camera ones feel awkward because of having to look to the side

[@ahb12000]

Hi thank you for the video, how to know if my chip has the firmware? or should i flash it any way? also Could you please share the kink for the firmware? thank you

Your EMMC is skyhinix64, my skyhinix was hate mod chip. Yellow fpc is in good condition . my bought yellow was all bad and brack was better.

[@IG-lobhunter]

Im not getting any reading on the multimeter. What am i doing wrong?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Either its not push in correctly/enough to make a contact with the pin so does not read or you haven't set your multimeter correct?

[@mincraftgimer]

What is your soldering iron temp?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

360c

[@kermtendo5592]

How long did it take to install this?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

This was the second one I did so was a bit quicker, maybe under an hour? Need to go slow with this as there is a lot that can go wrong!

[@kermtendo5592]

@fixingmoddingbuilding I was asking because I recently sent my switch to be modded, and I just wonder how long it normally takes

[@TimHuggett]

Which modchip is this one? It looks exactly like the one I just had installed in my OLED switch and I'm curious to know what it is exactly (PICOFLY, HWFLY, generic RP2040, etc).

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Rp2040

[@moninox5698]

​@@fixingmoddingbuilding Thanks for the video!. I found a lot variant of rp2040. Could you share the link you are using?

[@HeavyShark127]

What tool do you use to uncover point D?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

I scrape with a sharp knife, my older video here shows me doing it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5XHdIuAr82feKc

[@rickyz4115]

Finished the install. The chip lights up. But it boots straight into normal OS. "No SD Card" didn't show up. Can you please tell me why? Thanks

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

One of your solder points will be at fault, if all perfect check there is software on the chip itself?

[@rickyz4115]

@@fixingmoddingbuilding Resolder C Point. Everything works now. Thanks again!

[@Blue-eu5qn]

Is this the only way to do the OLED mod?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Yes, or a mig switch card?

No hot air on the dat0 ? Isn't that gonna be dodgy ?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Most people say don't do hot air as more chance solder balls cracking in the future. Kamikaze is the best option followed by this. If this is soldered secure not much chance of it moving

[@JohnnyB64]

How much you charged it to do this

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

I only do as a hobby

[@Soadkirua]

What happened if i have more than 800 in my reads on diodo mode?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

It normally means its not making the correct contact so could have booting issues?

[@Soadkirua]

​@@fixingmoddingbuildingyeah i have this issues, how can i fixed it?

[@ventrue6516]

Don't cover the buttons on the chip. You can tear them off easily if you need to reflash the firmware.

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

The kapton tape I know and use is not like gorilla tape, I think they will be fine
