    Switch locked with Parental Pin Controls - How to remove without PIN?

    But how do I know if it's above or below? I don't know what these numbers mean. All I have is the serial number on the white sticker at the bottom of the console; but the website says this is not related to the serial number

    Switch locked with Parental Pin Controls - How to remove without PIN?

    thanks I've had a look at the link. In order to do it though, the website states I'd need to know if my console is; Switch 1.0.0 -> 7.0.1: all regions (v3) Switch 8.0.0 -> 14.1.2: all regions (v4) How would I know if my Switch is one of these?

    Switch locked with Parental Pin Controls - How to remove without PIN?

    Hi I'm trying to remove Parental Lock on a Switch 1 console. I don't know the PIN code. I'm in the UK. The Youtube guides I've watched are all USA channels who advise to; 1) Enter an incorrect pin 6 times; 2) Go to the help screen and write down the master key; 3) Go to official Nintendo's...

    Switch Lite screws - which ifixit screwdriver do I use for this part of the dismantling

    yes. I have 3 sets. Two sets are magnetic and I even have a cheaper non magnetic set. None of them get any traction whatsoever, they just slip out

    Switch Lite screws - which ifixit screwdriver do I use for this part of the dismantling

    thanks. They aren't coming off. I don't know how much force to use. It's impossible. It's like they've been glued on. The screwdriver doesn't rotate it just clicks, indicating it's come out of the slot. Fking driving me up the fking wall!!!!

    Can I use a previously modded switch as an unmodded generic Switch?

    Thanks for the response. It did come with an SD card so I'll have a look into it using your instructions and reply here with my findings.

    Switch Lite screws - which ifixit screwdriver do I use for this part of the dismantling

    See attached photo. I cannot loosen any of these screws. Every youtube video I've watched doesn't bother to spend ten seconds telling the viewer which screwdriver to use. I'm baffled at how brazen some of these video guides are when they just skip through most of the process with zero...

    Can I use a previously modded switch as an unmodded generic Switch?

    Hi I've bought an XAJ40 Switch on ebay. Seller was selling on behalf of his son who has gone off to uni, so he doesn't know much about it other than it has previously been modded and kept offline. SD slot is faulty so when I turn the console on, it just boots to the normal stock Switch menu...

    How do transfer files larger than 4gb to modded switch

    Before giving up I tried a few things; 1) I hard reset the switch and launched it basically like a normal unpatched switch just to test if the switch would play game cartridges. It wouldn't even recognise games in the card slot (even though it was fine a while ago) So maybe thats why games...

    How do transfer files larger than 4gb to modded switch

    Thanks for the link. syspatch did nothing last time when I was told earlier to install it, so I dont see how thats going to make any difference. It isnt the reason that I cant install files larger than 8gb

    How do transfer files larger than 4gb to modded switch

    OK whats the best way to find that? I've gone to the downloads page on this forum but theres 41 pages and no way to search throught them to find them. I found a github but surprise surprise there's no download link, its just a bunch of meaningless information. Secondly, whislt I've been...

    How do transfer files larger than 4gb to modded switch

    I've tried DBI's MTP "SD card install" option as as I've said, nothing happens when I drag and drop. As far as I'm aware, you can't use DBI to view files and folders that are on your PC so I dont know how else you could install a game directly to the switch. Presumably the only way you'd be...

    How do transfer files larger than 4gb to modded switch

    I haven't confused installing with transferring. I haven't mentioned installing yet, as there's nothing on the Switch to install yet. I'm talking about drag and dropping (transferring) files from the PC to the Switch. The 8gb NSP is on my PC. I try to drag and drop the NSP from my PC to the...

    How do transfer files larger than 4gb to modded switch

    but how are you supposed to get these large files onto the switch? I must have asked this question about 50 times over the years and still havent got a clear answer. The SD is Fat32 When I try to drag and drop it tells me the file is too large to transfer. I've just tried hekate's USB...
