Hi everybody,

with latest picofly guide 6.4 and thank you to @abal1000x

we can see that there is another way to position mofsets.
Like this for the OLED version:

Zoom on it :

My questions is :

has anyone ever tested this?

and is it more reliable to use this method?

A big thank you for your answers

Any working success with this alternative method ?

It works fine. Here's an easier position which also works fine. I use it regularly.

Just thank you,
I Just use your alternative install and it's working on oled !!

I use 0.25mm wire to make it

Thank you again

I think your approach is the best on the web site

Hi. Using these points i don't need to solder wires on Nvidia chip? Where i find these points? front or back of the mainboard? Thank you

Correct. They are on the back, in the middle of the board next to the MAX77620H chip

Hello guys, I would like to ask about mosfet quantity when soldering. I saw that it depends on motherboard and sometimes the console needs 2 mosfets when soldering to the cpu capacitors. I am curious if with Deep's solution it's better to be sure and solder 2 mosfets or 1 will be always enough because of different solder points. What do you think guys?

One mosfet will work. I've never seen anyone do two. All the ones I've done like this have all worked fine with just one. Very quick boot times with this.

Hello Man! I am curious if you know some other tips like that when it comes to V1/V2 or Switch lite. The mosfet's possition you showed is really nice and comfortable, maybe you know some other positions like that in other switch models?
