@@PrimoAngelo Good new, was able to get this done. It wasn't too hard but you definitely need the right equipment like a microscope camera and small soldering iron. Thanks for the video helped a lot!
The simplest optical microscope at 20x, a soldering iron with the thinnest tip (I prefer only copper), absolutely any flux, but not acidic (although you still need to wash it off with isopropyl alcohol later) and not rosin, the solder needs to be 60% lead. But if you want to achieve a truly factory result, you can use soldering paste (it contains both flux and solder at the same time). I used it myself, it's just beautiful (inexpensive Mechanic). The downside is that you need to thoroughly clean the soldering area.
Un lavoro eccezionale. Io non so quasi nulla di saldature, però ho visto tantissimi video nell'ultimo mese per cercare di imparare; e devo dire che queste saldature sono proprio belle!!! Io, armato di kit da saldatura da 20€ + fotocamera Macro del telefono mi sono buttato nell'installazione del chip... ho fatto un macello ma stranamente ha funzionato >_
@@mohandmohand2047Yes, every time you solder something near the cpu die (on the caps), you have to cut a bit of the metal shield to let the wires or the cable go out into the main chip. Otherwise you risk the metal shield cutting or damaging or shorting the flex cable/wires.
Damn! I've watched quite a few videos on the soldering process. Those HAVE to be the most beautiful solder joints I have ever seen. Impressive skills. If you don't mind me asking, what is the solder iron temperature you recommend to get perfect solder points, like yours?
Thank you very much! This was the first switch lite chip installation so I went a little bit slow. The temperature I use for these jobs is between 315°C (for small spots) and 330°C (for large spots that dissipate heat quickly like ground shields). But in my opinion the soldering are also good at different temperatures if you use a good flux. If the flux is bad, the soldering are bad. I only use original NC-559-V2-TF AMTECH FLUX.
@@PrimoAngelowhich iron dobyou recommend and it looks really easy actually do you think someone you never micro solderd without a microskope can make it?
@@OG-ShortsYT I use a soldering station JC AIXUN T3B 96W T115/210. It seems very easy because everything is magnified 20-40 times. I strongly advise against trying if it is the first time with such small jobs and without the use of a microscope.
Hello There Friend. Can you tell me what Microscope/Camera/lens/lights are you using ? The image looks so clear. I am browsing to see which one to buy. Thanks
Hi! Did you isolate bottom of the modchip by kapton tape? I mean the main part with the chip seen at 11:38. I think they have metal cover under and I was wondering is the additional electrical insulation is needed. Did you glue the flex ribbon/modchip or it is holding purely by solder joints and screws? Congratulations of success, risky stuff imo :)
Hi! Thank you for your comment! No, I didn't insulate the part underneath the chip because this hwfly "clone" already had the underneath part protected in "plastic". Each chip variant is different, if you have a metal bottom, it should still be groung, with a multimeter measurement you can see if there is continuity between the GND point of the top chip and the part below. If you have continuity there is no need to isolate it because it rests on the ground. But you can do it for your peace of mind. No need to glue it down, only the 3 screws (game card slot, speaker, heat sink leg) are there to hold it very securely in place (You can consult the official hwfly lite manual by Team Xecuter searching on the web). It is in fact recommended to fix the chip with the 3 screws before doing the soldering and connecting the cables to avoid damage to the soldering. In reverse if you want to remove the chip, first disconnect the cables and desolder the 3.3V underneath and only at the end remove the 3 screws to free the chip. The new PicoFly variants (the only one currently in production) do not have the 3 screw fixings, so on those it is important to put a good double-sided tape under the chip to prevent it from moving. However, it is VERY important to cover the metal part above the chip with Kapton tape (console back cover/metal shield), as this could cause short circuits if it touches the top part of the chip.

Hi i bought cheap one from aliexpress looks like pico but it only says rp2040 should i update my console past 17.0.0 on ofm before soldering or it doesnt matter? im on 16.0.1
It doesn't matter, but starting with the latest firmware is recommended that way the game card reader is also updated and you have fewer problems on emunand when playing cartridge games.
is there a reason to use that much flux? Others that I watched only uses a drop for each solder. Im asking because I'm thinking of chipping my Lite as well.
It seems a lot but in reality it is very little, we are under the microscope, when you try to install yourself you will realize that a single drop seems like a lot but in reality it is not. However, it is always better to abound with flux to have shinier welds.
Ciao grazie per i video! Potrei sapere come si chiama quellattrezzo appuntito con il manico rosso che ci controlli la saldatura? A cosa serve? Per vedere se hai saldato bene?
Grazie a te per il commento! Quello è il puntale del tester/multimetro ed in modalità diodo controllo che i punti di saldatura siano ok. Con un puntale sul ground ed uno dei vari punti saldati deve risultare un numero che non sia zero o uno (quindi niente circuito aperto o cortocircuito con la terra) a parte ovviamente i vari punti di ancoraggio dei cavi flat.
@@PrimoAngelo grazie per la spiegazione, potrei chiederti di fare un video short per vedere come imposti il tester e anche mentre lo usi ? To ringrazio!
Ciao! Complimenti davvero per il tuo lavoro. Vorrei farlo anche io (ho appena acquistato un chip hwfly su aliexpress, andrà bene? ) ma ho tanta paura di combinare un casino!
Ciao, se hai esperienza pregressa con microsaldature al microscopio potresti provare, se non hai mai saldato nulla e/o non hai il microscopio/saldatore per componenti microscopici lascerei perdere sinceramente e lo farei fare a qualcuno con già esperienza, il rischio di rovinarla altrimenti è molto alto. E poi il prezzo per fare sistemare un eventuale casino e moddarla sarebbe poi molto più elevato rispetto a farla chippare direttamente, sempre che poi si possa riparare! Il video è fatto al microscopio e lo zoom spinto potrebbe far sembrare facile a prima vista il lavoro, ma serve mano ferma ed almeno un po' di esperienza oltre che le attrezzature adatte.
Flussante originale Amtech NC-559-v2-tf comprato direttamente dall'America. Attenzione ai fake su ebay/amazon e AliExpress che non sono nemmeno paragonabili e tutti lo imitano o falsificano. Costa molto ma è tra i migliori esistenti.
can u tell me what that cap or fuse goes right above that micro SD? Got everything down and tested but somehow I lost that cap and I currently get no lights on my modchip. The console powers up no issues but the modchip doesn't, Suspect that is the issue as maybe that's the 3.3V? not a lot of specific info on this
I think it's a 4.7uF 10v Capacitor, 0402 size. Yes, if you do not provide 3,3v to the chip, it will not work. You have to buy it or take from a donor console and resolder the component back in place and after resolder the flex cable on top of it.
@@PrimoAngelo thank you so much! I ordered it and hoping I can install it ok. Ordered several just in case. Do you know if it's best to use a solder iron or hot air station to install this?
@@magnificenttaco4234 With a soldering iron the board will have less thermal stress, i prefer this way. With hot air you should cover the components around with kapton or aluminum tape or silicone pads to avoid melting or damaging connectors or plastic parts.
The chip seller should provide the firmware pre-installed inside the device and you should not update if you do not have problems. But based on the chip type there is picofly or hwfly firmware, for example: github.com/Ansem-SoD/Picofly github.com/hwfly-nx/firmware
Hi, hwfly (original and clones) are no longer in production. Now you can find RP2040 version on aliexpress (lite/core/oled version). Installation is similar, only 3,3v soldering point is now on top under game card reader.
As 3 medições que fiz às 8:00 e a medição que fiz às 9:00 devem dar (no modo diodo) valores entre 0,4 e 0,9. Se você inverter as pontas de prova no ponto de 9 minutos, deverá ler cerca de 1,5 Enquanto para SP1 e SP2, um lado deve ser 0 (terra) e o outro uma resistência de cerca de 10-40 ohms. The 3 measurements I made at 8:00 and the measurement I made at 9:00 must give (in diode mode) values between 0.4 and 0.9. If you reverse the test leads (at the 9 minute point) you should read about 1.5 While for SP1 and SP2, one side must be 0 (ground) and the other a resistance of about 10-40 ohms.
Você compra pré-flash. Mas você pode atualizá-lo com o firmware mais recente: github.com/hwfly-nx/firmware You buy it pre-flashed. But you can update it with latest firmware: github.com/hwfly-nx/firmware
Original Amtech NC-559-v2-tf flux bought directly from America. Beware of fakes on ebay/amazon and AliExpress which are not even comparable and everyone imitates or falsifies it. It costs a lot but is among the best in existence.
This chip is a HWFLY version installation, no longer in production. Today you can buy RP2040 version, almost same installation, the only difference is the 3,3v soldering point moved near the card game connector, on the top right.
No, you need the lite version with the proper flat cable to solder. Usually core version has only the cable for cpu and the slot for emmc. Core version is only for original model (no oled no lite)
Great soldering job! What chip did you use exactly? I am looking for it on Aliexpress and found a hundreds of them. Not aure which one to pick. Any suggestion?
HWFly are not in production, if you find them they are remaining stocks. Now the only one in production is RP2040 (CORE, LITE and OLED). I bought this and the installation is very similar to the one in the video except for the 3.3v point which is under the cartridge slot cable. it.aliexpress.com/item/1005005780714704.html
Terima kasih atas komentarnya, saya sarankan Anda memiliki semua peralatan untuk melakukan pekerjaan ini, mikroskop, besi solder berujung tipis, fluks berkualitas (Amtech).

Semoga berhasil Thanks for the comment, I recommend having all the equipment to do the job, microscope, fine tip soldering iron, quality flux (Amtech).

Hi! The readings vary according to the temperature and the revision of the switch board, it would be useless to have the exact numbers, in diode mode you must have values between 0.4 and 0.8 with a tester lead to ground. If you have 0 or 1 on the multimeter (Continuity or open line) there is a problem. If you have any other value, the installation is correct.
Excelente trabalho amigo, parabéns. Estou com uma certa dificuldade em encontrar os chips para comprar poderia me passar um link onde consigo encontrar? agradeço
Mil agradecimentos! Infelizmente os chips hwfly foram descontinuados, agora só existem os novos chips hwfly RP2040 no mercado, a instalação é bem parecida. Basta pesquisar no aliexpress pelo texto: "hwfly rp2040" e você deve encontrá-los. A thousand thanks! Unfortunately the hwfly chips are discontinued, now there are only the new hwfly RP2040 chips on the market, the installation is very similar. Just search on aliexpress for the text: "hwfly rp2040" and you should find them.
Flux should not be used for this work 🤣 that is why the points do not join, the flux has the property of separating and not allowing them to join, you should have used the famous paste to solder the typical yellow one and you will see how it allows the union between spaces, since the flex pin is damaged by applying heat with the tip of the soldering iron many times
Eu só uso o original NC-559-V2-TF AMTECH FLUX que é o melhor fluxo do planeta e não é limpo, ou seja, também pode ser deixado na placa e ao invés de oxidar protege os contatos da oxidação. Mas é um produto que custa muito. I only use original NC-559-V2-TF AMTECH FLUX which is the best flux on the planet and is no clean, meaning it can also be left on the board and instead of oxidizing it protects the contacts from oxidation. But it is a product that costs a lot.
nunca vi um cara pra soldar tão ruim, coloca solda neste ferro e não fica só tirando e colocado o ferro esse é seu problema, fiquem com agonia de ver seu video, tu e muito cafusu
Obrigado pelo comentário, esta foi a minha primeira instalação de chip no switch. É esse flat cable que dificulta um pouco a instalação, um fio para cada ponto teria sido mais fácil. Também prefiro pegar leve na quantidade de lata e demorar 1 minuto a mais, não tenha pressa. Se você tiver algum vídeo onde mostre seu trabalho, eu estaria interessado em vê-los para aprender. Obrigado Thanks for the comment, this was my first chip install on switch. This flat cable makes the installation a little more difficult, one wire for each point would have been easier. I also prefer to go easy on the amount of solder and take 1 minute longer, don't be in a hurry. If you have any videos where you show your work I would be interested in seeing them to learn.

You buy it pre-flashed. But you can update it with latest firmware: github.com/hwfly-nx/firmware
What Flux u use?
Original Amtech NC-559-v2-tf flux bought directly from America. Beware of fakes on ebay/amazon and AliExpress which are not even comparable and everyone imitates or falsifies it. It costs a lot but is among the best in existence.
Hi. Its for V6 chip ? Rp2040 ?
This chip is a HWFLY version installation, no longer in production. Today you can buy RP2040 version, almost same installation, the only difference is the 3,3v soldering point moved near the card game connector, on the top right.
Can hwfly core Work? On nintendo switch lite
No, you need the lite version with the proper flat cable to solder. Usually core version has only the cable for cpu and the slot for emmc. Core version is only for original model (no oled no lite)
Great soldering job! What chip did you use exactly? I am looking for it on Aliexpress and found a hundreds of them. Not aure which one to pick. Any suggestion?
HWFly are not in production, if you find them they are remaining stocks. Now the only one in production is RP2040 (CORE, LITE and OLED). I bought this and the installation is very similar to the one in the video except for the 3.3v point which is under the cartridge slot cable. it.aliexpress.com/item/1005005780714704.html
Good job! I gave up on the Lite as i burned out both C points. My Lite doesn't come on anymore. They say it cannot be fixed.
Hi! Thank you for the comment! Oh no, I am sorry for your console. On the bright side, it can be used to gain experience with soldering!
alat dan bahan yg harus disipakna apa saja?
Terima kasih atas komentarnya, saya sarankan Anda memiliki semua peralatan untuk melakukan pekerjaan ini, mikroskop, besi solder berujung tipis, fluks berkualitas (Amtech). Lakukan pekerjaan ini hanya setelah memiliki beberapa pengalaman dengan motherboard bekas. Semoga berhasil
Thanks for the comment, I recommend having all the equipment to do the job, microscope, fine tip soldering iron, quality flux (Amtech). Also do this job only after having gained some experience on scrap motherboards. Good luck
Please show your multimeter reading
Hi! The readings vary according to the temperature and the revision of the switch board, it would be useless to have the exact numbers, in diode mode you must have values between 0.4 and 0.8 with a tester lead to ground. If you have 0 or 1 on the multimeter (Continuity or open line) there is a problem. If you have any other value, the installation is correct.
@@PrimoAngelo thanks for the fast reply. Nice soldering skills
Thank to you for the comment! I'm still learning and every day is an opportunity to learn new things.
Excelente trabalho amigo, parabéns. Estou com uma certa dificuldade em encontrar os chips para comprar poderia me passar um link onde consigo encontrar? agradeço
Mil agradecimentos! Infelizmente os chips hwfly foram descontinuados, agora só existem os novos chips hwfly RP2040 no mercado, a instalação é bem parecida. Basta pesquisar no aliexpress pelo texto: "hwfly rp2040" e você deve encontrá-los.
A thousand thanks! Unfortunately the hwfly chips are discontinued, now there are only the new hwfly RP2040 chips on the market, the installation is very similar. Just search on aliexpress for the text: "hwfly rp2040" and you should find them.
Ciao, saresti disponibile a ripetere questa operazione su commissione ? Sarei interessato ad installare anch'io HWFly sulla mia switch lite :))
Ciao, mi spiace ma non faccio lavori su commissione, condivido solo alcuni video di lavori fatti nel poco tempo libero che ho.
OLED need please
Sorry but I do not have an OLED Switch Console and a chip for oled version...
10 kg de flux😂😂
We are under a microscope, half a drop with a siringe
Flux should not be used for this work 🤣 that is why the points do not join, the flux has the property of separating and not allowing them to join, you should have used the famous paste to solder the typical yellow one and you will see how it allows the union between spaces, since the flex pin is damaged by applying heat with the tip of the soldering iron many times
I also realized that, although it depends on the quality of the tin, some do not need very high temperatures.
Não se deve usar está pasta de solda amarela próximo a componentes tão críticos pois ela tem uma pequena taxa de corrosão e condutividade.
Eu só uso o original NC-559-V2-TF AMTECH FLUX que é o melhor fluxo do planeta e não é limpo, ou seja, também pode ser deixado na placa e ao invés de oxidar protege os contatos da oxidação. Mas é um produto que custa muito.

Correct, If the temp is not too high and the contact time of the soldering iron tip is correct, nothing burns.
Hi, thank you for your comment. If the temp is not too high and the contact time of the soldering iron tip is correct, nothing burns.
nunca vi um cara pra soldar tão ruim, coloca solda neste ferro e não fica só tirando e colocado o ferro esse é seu problema, fiquem com agonia de ver seu video, tu e muito cafusu
Obrigado pelo comentário, esta foi a minha primeira instalação de chip no switch. É esse flat cable que dificulta um pouco a instalação, um fio para cada ponto teria sido mais fácil. Também prefiro pegar leve na quantidade de lata e demorar 1 minuto a mais, não tenha pressa. Se você tiver algum vídeo onde mostre seu trabalho, eu estaria interessado em vê-los para aprender. Obrigado
Thanks for the comment, this was my first chip install on switch. This flat cable makes the installation a little more difficult, one wire for each point would have been easier. I also prefer to go easy on the amount of solder and take 1 minute longer, don't be in a hurry. If you have any videos where you show your work I would be interested in seeing them to learn. Thank you
