Picofly | Oled installation guide - Clone Mod chip

- So decided to do an Oled install, if I am being honest I did a lot of reading beforehand and I did not like the sound of the install!
I was going to sell the Switch and not bother than decided to go for it!
It was a long install and it needed a lot of patience, would I do it again? Well I really would not rush to do it, it was one of the hardest I have done and there is so much that can go wrong. So anyone with little to no experience with micro soldering I would 100% say DO NOT DO THIS INSTALL!!!
I could not find a single video showing this chip or any details on how to install so had to do my best to see what I could do.
I did ask the seller to send installation instructions but they ignored me!
Also as noted in the video this came without software installed.
Thank you for watching the video, and I would really appreciate if you could like and subscribe.

how to know the chip not installed software without put it on the motherboard??
@@mygmail29 plug it in to pc following the above video or just plug it in to switch and see if it starts.
sir i istall mine all fine. problem when i want to turn on normal mode just say nintengo and goes black and i have to press power 20 second to turn on again on hekate. what can be that?
does this mod have a firmwarelimit where i can use it my switch oled is on the latest updates
If I factory reset mi Switch OLED & install the this modding following steps. It still should work, right?
This looks like a far better install than the others I have seen. I’ve put this off as the dat0 looked like a nightmare and easy to mess up. Now I’ve seen this video I want to give it a go. I’ve already done original switch. Thanks for the video good job 👏👏
Thanks, I really hated the install though, I won't be doing another anytime soon 😁
@@fixingmoddingbuilding looks really stressful, but good work
I’ve done 2x v2 switches now.. I really want to buy an OLED and this is the first video I’ve watched that makes me think I would be able to install the chip.
Hey, your video was a massive help. Several hours later of careful soldering and rechecking and we did it first try. Thank you for providing such an invaluable resource. There are no other videos like yours.
Thanks I am glad it helped 👍
After learning how to solder from repairing and modding gbas i think i'm ready to tackle this! Thank you for sharing
Amazing job, and the lovely music was mesmerizing.
Best guide on TH-cam by miles great install
Thank you 👍
Great timing. Got this chip in the mail this week and was trying to find a good guide with the exact same chip (I think your previous one had a variation). Will follow!
I don't know exactly which chip to buy, there are too many, what should I look for?
@@nola_zerolook for the: Picofly RP2040 OLED mod chip
And it should have ONE button on the chip, not 2.
Very technical and detailed instructions, one of the best videos of this process on YT
Thanks

@@fixingmoddingbuilding what about the software?
You made a very useful step-by-step guide like no other. Thank you
Thank you
no encontre ningun video en español tan bien explicado como este!! muchas gracias!!
I watched the v1 video and I was like, hey I can do that! Then I watched this one and i'm like, Oh hell nah!
Yer totally different installs, this one I would not recommend
This one looks easier for the fact that you don’t need to cut the shielding
@@user-yk1cw8im4hbut… you do…
@@user-yk1cw8im4hCutting the shielding is easy with the right tool cause its external and easy to replace if you try to attempt cutting Oled Shielding holder you risk damaging the board
Still need to do some more serious cuts ....
You have the right attitude and it appears your skill set is developing nicely.
You have patience, check. You are not afraid to work on it, check. You think things through, check. You care about learing and doing good work. I've worked as an ET for over 50 years, and you have a better skill set than many I've seen over the last 20 years.
My goal today is , to still work with the desire to learn something new everyday. Good luck in the future.
Thank you very much! 👍
Very kind words
What's an ET?
Thanks so much for the tutorial. Just used your video as a guide to install my Picofly and got it working on the first try!
Great, glad to hear
Installed one of these for a customer today, install went smoothly and just like the video. Customer did provide a newer revision of the kit than the one installed in this video but soldering locations were the same only difference was the cable routing, but like I said it worked just the same so thanks for a simple guide that worked perfectly for my first time doing this Mod vs my norm which is repairing the console it’s self.
Good to hear, I won't see the newer version as unlikely to do another one 😁
@@fixingmoddingbuilding it’s rare I’ll probably do another since I think it’s the first it’s been asked of me to do, but I’m honestly not against doing another it was about 2hrs of work first go around & I’m sure I could speed that up, the soldering wasn’t bad I actually like how easy they made the job for me with the premade ribbons, but I’m also a repair tech for a living so I kinda do it daily on alot of device’s 😂
How much do you charge for this? If I mailed you my switch could you do it?
Do you get clients online while having them mail stuff to you or you just do local?
@@AbstractMediums what switch do you have & do you have the kit
THanks mate, i've actually made it through using your video!
Well done, I didn't enjoy the mod!
lol, could've been worse. I soldering iPhone boards is a heck more complicated.
looks vvvvvvverrrry professional, and thanks for guide!!!!!
best guide!!!!
Thanks, glad it helps
i have done on 3 v2 switches, one of them I slipped in the wifi capacitor on the left side of the shield that you have to remove, it was a headache to solder it again, but it worked!, im training to do on OLED systems, one day I will do it!
Thank this made my install so much easier
This gave me tons of confidence, next time someone needs a modding video like this i will show them this exact video.
Thank you
@@fixingmoddingbuilding By the way does this remove ANY data on the emmc chip? (The storage chip,
Or the system memory.)
@@RedragonKid no
@@fixingmoddingbuilding Big update! I might get a soldering iron, if I end up getting it, and the mod chip, I will mod my oled with this guide! (which hopefully goes well)
If it goes well, I will subscribe and like this video. And yes, I do have some experience with soldering, it's just that my soldering iron broke due to oxidation :/
Got the soldering iron! Works like a charm, now im awaiting for the mod chip
Thanks for the video! I'll follow along :)
thank you for the video bro, im watching a lot of videos because i want to install on my own, but i didnt find any chip like mine too. i never did this, but i got some basic tools and i hope i can get a good result. the seller deleted the product page, but before, i asked for the tutorial he had. the thing is the tutorial he sent used reflow with very professional tools i dont have lol.
Hi, yes I saw a video showing taking the nand off and reballing with a wire running underneath? Also read a lot about reflowing. The modder sthetix said he used to reflow but thinks the balls have a chance of cracking over time so he does not recommend it anymore he just goes for the pushing and holding technique.
@fixingmoddingbuilding youtube deleted my comment because of the link, but the video tutorial the seller sent to me is in other platform called bilibili, its a chinese youtube.
i saw this sthetix video, its very detailed too. im using all of your videos as a reference, i plan doing tomorrow. i dont have solder mask and pcb cleaner, i hope i dont need them.
after seeing a lot of videos just found this one mod chip like mine :
th-cam.com/video/4fLPNE7Hfgg/w-d-xo.html
@fixingmoddingbuilding bro i just finished, but didnt work lol ( i expected this, and im already happy the switch turned after all ).
when i press power button my chip lights blue, and then 2 short greens, 2 short greens and 2 short greens. and boot in OFW. do you know where i can see this LED patterns?
th-cam.com/video/HVIyw2jMF3g/w-d-xo.html
Same here. @fixingmoddingbuilding Do you have any ideas on what causes this? @@juscelino2253
Great video, hey is the pad below the "D" pad a real connection or an anchor point? My pad for that one came off and I wonder if it of any importance. Thanks
This music is killing me, in a good way. It sounds like it belongs in an old TV drama series like Granada's Sherlock Holmes lol love it.
So excuse a dumb noob but what does this mod do? I'm trying to look for a Switch to just play downloaded games offline and after much searching, maybe it's my crappy English, I have not gotten conclusive answers. Does this allow you to download roms to play offline (any easier mod for that should one want to do it themselves otherwise? Fascinating watch, and the nice music made it even better, but doing this myself is WAY out of reach atm)?
I am worried that the "slider" ( 14:00 ) stop making contact with the chip over time, i have saw other videos where they sold it to the chip, but its absolucly more than what i can handle in mi home, shoud i get worried that it stop making contact?
Friend, the resistance that is on one side of the clk, what connection does it have? Greetings
Thank you for these videos, great job, looks like nice clean work! Question: Where did you get instructions for this? Is there any written tutorials?
The seller wouldn't help, I just read what I could, found different snippets all over the place and put it together, thankfully right!
Gbatemp website is normally good for info.
@@fixingmoddingbuilding Sounds good! Thanks again!
Im kind of afraid to do modifications like this
I just got a oled recently and wanted to mod it, tho I'll give this a try when I could
Glorious Video, just about to do my own Oled, watched numerous videos, practiced soldering on old electronics, but I have a question. When you solder the wire to contact C, you do it on the ribbon, others have done it to the board, is there any difference? Reason for the ask is that I had to re order a ribbon, when I was tinning the contacts, Point C came right off the ribbon... tested it with a multimeter and sure enough it was now garbage. So with my new ribbon on its way, is it necessary to put that wire onto the ribbon, or can I put it to the board? If you happen to know, great! if not no worries :) Really great video, I will be having it in front of me when new kit arrives :)
Hi, thanks for the nice comment.
With regards to the c point, I couldn't find much detail on this chip, the seller has no install instructions so i kind of muddled it together from reading different things. It seems to work fine so must have done something right 👍
Ese punto es clk y si pudiste haberlo soldado directamente sin el Flex
Nice work, one question did you pre program the chip before installing it on switch
I've bought a few, some come pre installed with software, others don't.
I normally just connect them all up to the switch and see if it displays no sd, if not it's easy to disconnect and plug into PC.
Loved this video! Could you share a list of the tools you used and where you bought them? (Flux, tweezers etc?)
Most of the tools I use are from aliexpress, if you look back through my videos you will see I've been doing videos on anything new I have bought
congratulations, detailed and precise. A pleasure. Once the modification has been made, is there a video of how to install the software and how to download the games?
th-cam.com/video/ffAgo3qzLfM/w-d-xo.html
Any chance you will do the rp2040 for the switch lite, this is far the best video on TH-cam you make it look so easy.
Thanks. I have had the chip for a while but I don't have the lite!
Once I can get one it will be done
You made me nervous using the bit😮
Thanks man ! with your tuturial i do the job ! , but now i have a problem , have you ever had a switch oled that before the logo put the fan 100% ?
the temperature it´s good but the fan always 100% !
No sorry only done one oled and won't be doing another! Maybe check no little chips have been knocked off, there used to be one on the v1 that regulated when it turned on by the connector on the motherboard.
Two questions, what microscope do you use? And what size wire are you using?
The wire size says within the video, can't remember of the top of my head.
Currently just using my phone zoomed in, need to buy a microscope asap.
Great video but I don't understand where does the green wire come from at 18:51 ?
I see you connecting the first green wire from one point to the other but then you say shorten the green wire but I don't see where it's connected to?
am I missing something?
The green wire comes from the connector that goes under the nand chip.
When I first attach it its longer then needed, just need trimming when connecting.
This may be a dumb question but I got sent this chip by mistake but I don’t have an OLED. Does this work on any other switch model?
The other models are easier to mod. They don’t need a mod chip (at least be first gen doesn’t)
Friend, I have some problems with a Nintendo Switch OLED. Could you help me Below where you take 3.3v there is a capacitor, could you help me find it, it is a small one. The clk point lost the connection. I would like to rebuild it. My switch does not turn on. Please help
Hey I have a a straight soldering tip would it be easier to use a curved one during the installation?
What you feel comfortable with, I don't mind whatever I use, some people have favourites.
They really did not want anyone modding these lol. Way more of a pain than the other versions.
Great video. What soldering iron do you use? Thanks
A cheap, variable temp one I bought off amazon years back so don't have any links
Id recommend getting a ts100 or a pinecil 64 or some other of that sort. Weller and hakko are also good. Also make sure your tip is tinned! thats the number one mistake.
@@bencooler2003do you have links to this?
Thankyou! my oled is now hacked :>
So after you install these RP2040 chips to an OLED or V2, what do you do software wise? once you flash the mod chip, you proceed like if it's a softmod? Sorry, very new to this lol
Watch this video showing how to setup, emunand is a must!

@@fixingmoddingbuilding thanks!!
Question, are you able to boot into OFW/SYSMMC? I have the same kit as yours (Picofly Clone, V3 CPU Flex, and OLED V6 Motherboard Flex) and got it working, but it is unable to boot into OFW/SYSMMC, only getting a blackscreen after the Nintendo Logo. EMUMMC boots fine. [Fixed - Read More for how]
Update: So after looking at threads on GBATemp, I decided to remove the Flex Cable and went straight with enamel copper wire on all the points. It works and now I can now boot into OFW/SYSMMC successfully. This is because my eMMC is SK Hynix and is apparently known to not play well with the provided Flex Cable.
Yes I can boot ofw
@@fixingmoddingbuilding Thanks for the reply, so I'm guessing its a problem with my kit. Speedrunning GBAtemp points me at adding a 47Ohm Resister to the Dat0 Adaptor, I will have to wait for tomorrow to get the resistor to see if it will work.
@@ravenext yer, gbatemp is great for that extra detail and help
Thanks to them, I fixed it by replacing the Flex cable with enamel copper wire on all the points, its a bit harder but now I can boot OFW.
So if you have a Samsung chip you can safely use the ribbon cable?
Bought a Switch Oled last year, I don't play it at all lol (games are expensive you know).
I was thinking of this as my first big (or should I say small) soldering project. I have very little experience with soldering, although I do really wanna buy the appropriate tools and give it a shot. I'm totally aware that I have a big chance of ruining my Switch, but I don't really care (despite that I'll be practicing A LOT with SMD kits prior to this)
Needs lots of practice!
Hey Ferb! I know what we’re gonna do today!
what tools do you use? what was the chip name? Your video seems one that is possible to follow, actually.
Search AliExpress for RP2040 for the chip, if you go through a lot of my recent videos it will show you what tools I am using, bought a lot of new items recently.
I often wondered what this song was that I played like 15 years ago... didn't expect to find it here...........................
Hello near the end of your switch v2 mod you use kefton tape I think it's called can I use ordinary cello tape to stop shorts or does it have to be kefton tape
Yer it's used to stop shorts, I think it might be OK but i wouldn't say for certain
Quelle est la solution, après soudure et que le tactile de la Nintendo Switch Oled ne passe plus
Hi so this will be my first project, is there any video about soldering you recommend I should watch before trying this.
Thanks.
I would recommend practicing on a faulty board before an oled, also need something to zoom in with, microscope etc?
@@fixingmoddingbuilding thanks for the advice, I will try and get one. I was planning on using my phone zoom.
Hello 👋🏽, have you tried to reball a switch emmc? If so do you have a video or guide for that?
I have only practices on dead switches.
I have the equipment and a few blue screen switches but don't have the time to do it.
So technically no, I haven't done it 😁
Which chip is better to buy, like the one in the video or from hwfly, I'm from China and I have the same price, which is better and easier to connect?
This is the only oled I've installed and will be the last
can install mod with latest firmware?
당신 정말 대단하다!!
Oled and Picofly rp2040, hekate. Emu side all running ok and standard side too.
Can I update the switch firmware to play game cartridges on the stock boot side online ? Or never? Or a special method?
Can update both sides on ofw on emunand can be connected to the internet so can update officially
Que bien controlas el cautin y la soldadura me gustó tu video
Como atualiza e passa o flash no chip?
What microscope do you use?
When I made the video didn't have a microscope, just used zoom on my phone.
Since then bought the below microscope which I recommend.

Hello, i need help to understand why he tin the chip at 10:38 is it just in to make sure it is not moving or there is other reason
The caps need connecting to the cable
Esa música es hermosa viejo
Amazing video 👏👏
I wouldn't say it's easy but not as difficult as i thought it would be
Could you please do a Switch Lite next?
I like your videos 😍 you have earned a subscribe 😎
Thank you. I have the chip for a lite but don't have a lite yet but it's on my to do list. 👍
Great video, I do have an issue though. It turns blue then flashes short then long while yellow. The github said that the CMD isn't connected but I don't know what that meant any help would be nice thank you.
Same problem CMD not connected
On the rail screws, you only need to remove one screw
Thanks, top or middle? I know it's like that on the original versions, My first oled so still learning.
@@fixingmoddingbuilding only up!, great installation. congratulations!
Idk this doesn’t look too hard. Just really small. But I just got a ts101 so this might be a great project for the ridiculously tiny tips I got for it. It seems like you need some pretty steady hands for this one.
If I had a better soldering iron at the time it might have gave me more confidence, I do have that soldering iron now and tiny tips but still not satisfied as the solder still rises up the tip and doesn't stay at the end, you might have more luck.
This is way too hard for me to accomplish. Gonna have to hire someone.
I've always been a little bothered that I got a patched v1 that would eventually require me to hard mod it. Looking at this I'm very thankful I still have a patched v1 so I can have a much easier time modding it!
Hi, I have installed the same kit, but sometimes mine doesn't detect the dat0 connection and boot straight into the ofw, have you encountered same issue?
Its not always glitching
No I've only done this one, possibly it's not pushed in far enough?
I will try to reseat it
I was thinking what is a crosshead screw then it dawned on me oh, you mean a Phillips head screw!
Hi, i need help for my OLED. I got error code ** RST not connected. I checked with multimeter and didn’t get any reading even when i put directly on the RST point. Is there any other RST point that i can solder?
Question. I am seeing several different mod chips in my search for an oled mod set. How do I determine which mod chip set is for my oled switch? Thanks.
They're are different variants/makes, just need to decide which one you want, people will say they all have plus or negatives
@@fixingmoddingbuilding I copy. So if it for the oled I just select the one I want to install in my switch. I have purchased three different kits including the one you install here. That will likey be the one I install. Thanks.
@@Vidal2021 yes, people say certain ones are more reliable or load quicker but to me it's just personal choice.

What mode should the multimeter be in for testing that D0 point? Diode mode?
sthetix video guide says 0.500v~0.900v
@@juscelino2253 Wrong. These are not volts. These are ohms. Put it in diode mode (measures resistance).

when i power it on it is blue and after green yellow flashing 4 times no image,,what can be the problem i inspect all the solder joints manny times they look okey the pico if with software downloaded and instaled from your other video what can be the problem?
It has got to be a solder joint? Could be the part is not pushed down enough behind the nand?
Have we gotten a better option for the OLED or no?
Mig switch?
Hello , I installed the mod chip, everything seems correct, but I am getting the Failed to init emmc error, what could be the reason?
There's not much to it so You need to check the solder joints, also check the chip has the software installed on it and your sd card has the correct files to boot.
mine wont boot the light goes blue-green green - green green - and it stops, but i can hear the switch working. do you know what is the problem? the screen is black.
If you can hear the switch working, must be something to do with the screen or the screen connector?
does it matter what wire I use? If so, any recommendations?
nvm i see 30 awg
Hi, my modchip holds the blue light for a few seconds and then blinks yellow twice. What did I do wrong?
Check solder joints
When i try turn on the chip show me error *= CMD not connected. The CMD Is the point when you use the engraving pen?
Check with a multimeter in diode mode first. At least with me, I need to reflow my dat0 since it’s not 500-900
you said you did 300 degrees but was that C or F? Your iron seemed hotter than 300F
C
H,i do i have to use 30 AWG wire or is 28 AWG Wire fine aswell?
I think either should be fine

Any other chip you recommend? I never got rp2040 working on my V2 switch.

Hi friend, I just installed the mod, it is loading the firmware on the chip, the point is this (usually quest chip when I mount them on the lite when I turn on the console they go directly into hekate mod) instead with this the console turns on in stock mode! Is there any file to upload in particular on the chip? I will be really very grateful if you help me! 😊
If you maen you think the software is not installed, follow the link in the pinned comment to install it.
However if the mod chip is installed and it's booting up to official there is an issue with your soldering or chip itself
@@fixingmoddingbuildingFortunately no problem with the welds (I do this job every day I didn’t have the firmware installed properly) now it works correctly 😁
@@Fix_Device that's good to know, I didn't know it could still boot up with no firmware installed so thanks for letting me know 👍
How do I know which chip to buy for my switch? Is it the same in any oled model?
Oled model require mod chips installed. The older version of the switch are jailbroken differently and the original gen 1 switch can be jailbroken the easiest.
do you need the wires my kit didn't come with them
You need everything I used
installed the same modchip, but its blinks Blue, Yellow,Yellow And boots to OFW, Any idea?
Probably a bad solder point, just need to go back over everything
Is there a way to reset the modchip. It wont boot since the new update
Maybe pressing one of the buttons on the chip would work?
I make same thing but the Nintendo switch OLED startup on OFW directly like no picofly … idea ? Thanks
Check the fw is installed on the chip, check solder points, check the diode readings on the part that slides under the nand.
