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.
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.
@@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. :)
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 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 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.

11:59 It hurt my heart to see those wire cutters abused so. Get yourself down to Harbor Freight (or Lowe's / Home Depot) and grab yourself a set of tiny $1 cutters. But actually, definitely go to Harbor Freight if you have one nearby. Just spend an hour in there. Or maybe $100. Or just $10 if you can maintain self control.
Use a multimeter to take the guesswork out of whether you connected the resistors to the flex cable. I set mine to ohms resistance, and then continuity. As long as they respond, you're fine.
The yellow clear tape to prevent short should be cut shorter, it now appears to lift the right end of heatsink up and this could decrease it's thermal performance
It's funny that the Mohameds tell you that you don't weld well, but they have to watch a video because they don't even know how to start. This video was helpful. Thank you very much.
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
Thanks for posting this video. I followed it to a tee. But, when booting I get a blue light, then purple (i think), then none. Blank screen. Tried redoing the mod once. Checked everything many times. Even checked connections with a meter. But the mod doesn't really seem to work. So I reverted back to stock. Oh well. lol.
Question for you... Have you had problems with the chips? I got a error code 2002-3540 and googleing it point on the quality of the Modchips. Have you had any problem like this?
Hi, great video, thanks. Ive just installed one of these and on boot I get a Screen NOSD with a rocket. Does that mean it has no software installed or I now need to do something else?
Tbh i used a Silver Conductive Epoxy Adhesive to do it on my V2. Did it over a year ago and so far nothing moved. Well, i doubt it would be able to move anyway as the cooler sits directly on the cpu. Was a bit more safe then to use a soldering iron. You don't want too much heat goin on the cpu
@@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...
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.
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?
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.
Thank you for this video! I installed my Modchip and it works first time! I have to figure out why the screw on the outside of the case won't go in. The sd card and 2 left/right sides with the joycons. I think the shield might of bent?

@@carltobiah5697 it depends, the ones I have bought are flashed and work perfect, others have commented the ones they have bought need flashing.
What if i have a oled switch? is it different or??
yes, you can buy an oled version, it needs an extra piece to go under the emmc. I still dont have an oled to mod, once I get one I will be modding it though!
@@fixingmoddingbuilding will you make a video if you get an oled?
@@37819 yes, but trying to find a cheap one locally or even better a faulty one!!
does this work for v2 chips too?
Yes
Does this version hwfly modchip works for switch oled ?
There is another version for the oled
Thanks, it was a great watch. Can you show me how to do for a Nintendo switch Lite? Would appreciate what chip to buy and which version since I got that one. Thanks
Thanks. I have a lite chip on order I just don't have a lite yet!
@@fixingmoddingbuilding wow! Thanks mate. Just let me know once you do that. Your videos are very simple to understand. Are you going to use pico or hwfly for lite?
@@ashutoshsoni6473 in sticking with the rp2040 versions. I've just bought an oled and should have a chip delivered in a few days, once I see a cheap lite will do that one too.
@@fixingmoddingbuilding great. Waiting for a video sooooon :)
@@fixingmoddingbuilding great. Also it would be helpful after you do the complete soldering how you can copy files to sd card and install all the procedure for atmosphere and tinfoil.
What is this chip used for?
Emulators and other stuff
Where to buy? How do I know is the correct chip? thank you
Aliexpress, v1/v2 are the same chip, otherwise get an oled/lite, depends what you need.
@@fixingmoddingbuilding you have the link i can buy? I wanna try on the V2. Are the lite and oled much harder?
@@miguelpaulo8397 links die after posting, just best searching yourself
@@fixingmoddingbuilding i am studying to do my first attempt. Any guides or tips to follow?
What is the transparent liquid you use before soldering?
Flux
@@fixingmoddingbuilding Is it possible to do without I read the fumes are toxic?
is this for V1 or V2 switch?
Both
Can you use solder paste to do this?
Probably not as you need to use hot air and that may melt the cable?
@@fixingmoddingbuildingthank you. I pulled it off with standard soldering with a V2. NGL I watched this video about 57 times. I'm well happy. Thanks again.
@@christopherblack7684 well done, glad it helped, glad you did it 👍
Do you have a video on how to set up the switch once mod chip installed?
