The chip is on a separate PCB; however the connector is non-standard (not compatible with Odroid/PINE64/other SBC connector), so you will need to either solder or find someone who will do the chip swapping for you. After you have the PCB with the changed chip, you can just replace the PCB.How do you change the chip? Does it require any micro soldering?

Yes that board without the nand chipYou mean this board:

MatinatorX (developer from DragonInjector) looked into this not too long ago; here is a screenshot from his reply in the Discord chat. It may be possible still though, but it seems he think it isn'tI'm curious if it is possible to manufacture an adapter from Odroid/PINE64/other SBC eMMC connector to Switch eMMC connector.
i am considering making some but they would only be a few bucks less than the original onesHi Onlyd, do you have any idea where i could purchase the memory module board from without the nand chip?
@ sthetix. Hello. An exceptional video and hard work. I have a Switch patched. My question is if I can use this procedure in my case. Does "Customized Hekate" work on a Patched Switch? Show me anything on the Switch screen when i launch paylod and the console is in rcm mode? Thank you in advance for your answer !!I tried nandpart, it worked well and i could boot to ofw. just read the guide below or use my video guide
If your patched switch is 4.0.1 you can hack it. Otherwise you need to wait.@ sthetix. Hello. An exceptional video and hard work. I have a Switch patched.

Unfortunately I am on 9.0.0 Thanks a lot for the answer !If your patched switch is 4.0.1 you can hack it. Otherwise you need to wait.
1. Backup your NAND and everything you possibly can.Can someone give me a rundown on the procedure to do this nand swap...?
I assume it is something like this
Find compatible nand with switch
desolder switch nand solder on new nand
software stuff
boom switch with extra internal memory
con? can't go online with swapped nand.
Links to suitable nand chips for swapping would be appreciated..
Also how many US people are interested in this seriously?
Desolder the old chip, clean the contacts of any solder "blobs", reball the eMMC (might come that way), eyeball the position and just use the hot air rework station and hope for the best.This advice is nice, care to go into detail of the soldering process if you have more knowledge of this... It's bga if I only have a hot air station how could one achieve this reliably...
Buy the extra daughterboards. It really helps to have the default eMMC as an untouched backup.I think I am going to try to do 2 of these.
