What do you mean "S/N invalid"? I wrote the exact number one by one. (Yes, I know the S/Ns are longer but I censored the rest in the screenshot for privacy reasons.)
Holy shit that is probably the most dumb thing Nintendo has done. How are you supposed to then get the parental controls masterkey to input to the switch?Because XKJ are Mariko V2 motherboard and the tool it check only for V1 unit only.

I know what site you're thinking of; no, it won't accept my switch unless I provide a number that I can only obtain via homebrew.
You probably shouldn't share your serial number with us on GBATemp... not sure if anyone can actually do anything with it, but be safe anyway.
That isn't the full S/N.You probably shouldn't share your serial number with us on GBATemp... not sure if anyone can actually do anything with it, but be safe anyway.
I do NOT WANT to homebrew my switch (well, I do, but I'm not tinkering with the hardware). I just want to remove parental controls and get the mkey.Well in your case you got a V2 motherboard so your option is getting a modchip like Hwfly if you want to stick with the same unit.
I'm not calling Nintendo, that would be an international call for about 50 cents a minute.Trying to remove the child lock thing? Call Nintendo and tell them your forgot it and they should be able to give you an unlock code. If they refuse hang up and call back up then tell the next guy that you bought it second hand on ebay and it came with the lock on it and you can't contact the seller.
Well ever since firmware 8.0.0 the algorithm they use for generating unlock codes relies on encrypted data from the NAND, not the serial number so nothing that you can do is going to remove the lock. Either spend money on a phone call (probably 10 minutes at most) or spend money on a modchip to dump the data needed to gen the key.I'm not calling Nintendo, that would be an international call for about 50 cents a minute.
Dude. I am not spending my money to remove a fucking software lock on my own $300 device.Well ever since firmware 8.0.0 the algorithm they use for generating unlock codes relies on encrypted data from the NAND, not the serial number so nothing that you can do is going to remove the lock.

Tough shit. There are no free alternatives. You seem to be rude and I'm giving you my time and knowledge for free so either accept what I said or go fuck yourself lol.Dude. I am not spending my money to remove a fucking software lock on my own $300 device.
I have a spare hwfly for this. I install run remove parental app turn off remove hwfly.Dude. I am not spending my money to remove a fucking software lock on my own $300 device.
> remove hwflyI have a spare hwfly for this. I install run remove parental app turn off remove hwfly.
I have one for each core/lite/oled and yeah they have to pay since I dont work for free.
You have both options possible given to you now you have a 3rd. Pay someone to do it.
Calling nin is prolly cheapest.
Soldering required.> remove hwfly
Finally a solderless chip?
You could try to get a Google Voice or another VOIP number and call that way.I'm not calling Nintendo, that would be an international call for about 50 cents a minute.
Isn't soldering a permanent modification?Soldering required.
What can be soldered can be un-soldered.Isn't soldering a permanent modification?
