Having a bit of a weird issue with mine (V2 Mariko).
Upon power on I get the blue then cyan (clicking reset gives the same result) then OFW starts to boot BUT, if I click reset during the "Nintendo Switch" logo screen, it starts to glitch and loads hekate fine.

So my question is, why is it not attempting to glitch upon power on, only when i reset during the NX splash screen, anyone had similar?

not sure if its the same issue
but i had to install a second mosfet on my mariko because i got the cyan color there where a few other people who had to install one also ,
most of the people us the flat cable from the hwfly thats why they mostly dont expierence this issue there are 2 mosfets on the hwfly cable

Ah I only have 1 mosfet installed, will install a 2nd one and report back, thanks!

So, which and how many parts to I need for a Switch Lite and Switch OLED?
I do already got four RP2040-Zeros when this type of Mod was announced first but never looked deeper into it until now.

The Guide tells I need "SMD 8050 47 to 50 ohm Resistors". Do I need 47 AND 50 ohm Resisters or would 47 ohm Resistors be enough? How many do I need?
I found these on Reichelt.de, would this be the correct ones?

I also found this IRFHS8342 MOSFET on Reichelt.de, would be this the correct one?
When it comes to " cpu flex cable", which one would you suggest? Could you send me a link to it? (would need one for my Lite switch and one for my OLED Switch)

Thank you very much in advance

Yes, and yes.
You need no flex cable if you buy the mosfet and solder those with wire to the CPU caps.
It's mosfets OR the flex cable.

Yup, this was the issue. Second mosfet added and it now glitches and boots hekate on power up. Thanks for the advice! appreciate it

The flex cable seems to be easier to install, or did I understand that wrong?
I think I'd prefer using the cable if that's the case.
Can you maybe tell me where I can find these (or maybe link me one compatible with the OLED and one for the Lite?`)

Only place I know of is aliexpress, so you're looking at 10+ days of wait time.

Well, the Aliexpress pages are too cryptic for me

They use a lot of buzz words and photos of a product that "may" fit my needs, but I still don't know which I can buy for my Switch Lite and which I can buy for my OLED Switch for sure :S

Could you send me a link to the ones I will need for my to Switches? That'd be awesome!

Also somehow the Guide doesn't really seem to "Guide" me through the process. It for example doesn't show me where to use the 47ohm resistors... Or am I blind?

Arakon · Apr 1, 2023

The resistors are mounted on the rpi2040. Look at the images/solder points bottom image.

Can't send you a link, since I don't use any flex cables myself. But "core" is the v1/v2 models, you want oled and lite.

it shows u where to use them and that is on the rp zero
for lite and oled u need v2 cables and for oled u also need a dat 0 connector but not all of them are reliable should go with the 4 anchor one or reball ur emmc and make a straight connection to ur dat0 point

Guys, if I want to order and receive the whole kit including rp2040, mosfet and resistors in a few days, where should I buy?
Can I find everything on amazon?

Buy a instinct chip if you want a full kit right now, otherwise order from seperate places around the net, or wait for some pre-done boards to come out.
I also recommend the flex over the bare mosfets

Can anyone explain exact points that we should solder to double mosfet mode for Oled
mosfet pins

well i checked but there is no clear understanding what exactly should i solder
you removed 2 cap i understand that much from you're pic
but i dont get mosfet points at all
the purple color in this pic are under mosfet points (my understanding if im wrong tell to fix for others) , greens are points that soldered , qustion marks are what pionts exactly

Dee87 · Apr 2, 2023

well i mean it should be self explaining , u solder the caps to the solder point on the mosfet like in the picture
u dont have to remove the cap on the right mosfet if u set the mosfet so it fits
u showed the connection point in purple from the mosfet u connect them to the green point on the caps it shouldnt be that hard picture is self explaining

I see, a fast site that ships quickly?
Does Amazon sell rp2040, mosfets and resistors?

Almost every national online electronic part store has this parts in stock, except maybe the flex cable.
