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.

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?
@@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 👍🏾
@@Essjaythegreat That's great, so he installs atmosphere for you, the sd card was just as it came. Yes I've heard that about the speeds, I'm going to go with the ultra over the extreme in that case. Thanks for the reply 👊
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.
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.
I did hear that reflowing the dat0 adapter did result in a higher failure rate. Have you found something that says otherwise? I have a chip and I'm fairly sure I can do this but I want to make sure I'm doing everything right
you dont' need to re-flow it (as you stated it introduces another failure point) but then you do need to give it a bit of spring tension so it keeps connection with the pin
What would be the difference between the instinct chip and the others? Congratulations on the video, it teaches you step by step how to install the chip
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.
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
Hello. I soldered all the points and tested the diode readings. However when i try to plug a charger , the Led won't blink at all. Do I need to use a switch charger? I just used some generic usbc phone chargers
Because I’ve got many cases that this method is not good. Instead of using that ribbon tape I directly solder the jumper wires to the specific points. My time is money and I can’t make mistakes.
can i also put capton tape on the copper wire or do i need to put hot glue on there if soo would you mind linking that glue gun? kind of new to switch modding i used to do xbox 360s and so on

no, it means a very specific thing. soc is system on chip which includes everything from the cpu, io functions, ram, etc... in other words you dont' need any other supporting chips for a system to work it can do everything it needs by itself. in amd's case apu is for cpu+gpu (notice how it's missing the RAM?)

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.
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
Can you make a tutorial how to repaste modded oled ? Since the chip is located above the metal shield between the soc and heatsink. Idk how to safely repaste it.
I have the hwfly for lite, when i install firmaré uf2 by Usb C, the window closed and then in the rp2040 one light blue blinked on the Led, after that green color flash two times continous, it turned off and returned to flash green color for two times more. It is normal?
is it how your camera behave or you do that video cuts yourself? it is annoying when one can see you doing something and then it immediately cuts to the next part like a second or two later.

i have a question if in point 3.3 did get my .940 is it ok ? thank you.
I'm having issues with my install as well. It'll work for a while, then randomly stop working. After several reboots it comes up working again.
My C point keeps going bad, it'll be good, I'll close it up, a week later it gets grounded. How do I stop this?
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.
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

is it how your camera behave or you do that video cuts yourself? it is annoying when one can see you doing something and then it immediately cuts to the next part like a second or two later.
