the cheapest way to get installed is to take it apart yourself, take it to somewhere that will only do the soldering. then it'll be up to you to put it back together and trouble shoot any issues.
did you put them in the "switch" folder
btw heres a nice collage of user installs
liking their work, can relate to those nightmaresdid you put them in the "switch" folder

Yesterday I solder the switch core... I don't have any microscope and I was concerned just if I burn the cap of the resistors... there's a risk you can't avoid... is not just soldering 4 points here... I almost couldn't see what i was joining because i don't have equipment... but finaly it worked..
I made nasty cold soldering, but it works.. without microscope it's tricky because the pads were pretinned and I could't see a shit hehehe
Before making this I though it would be easier because on photos you see everything bigger and easy... but in real life.. things are different... If i had to charge you for this work I would'n charge you fewer than 50 euros for this job...
Mine is a fucking disaster soldering... but it works.. And it was at 3:30 in the morning i was dead sleepy and tired
between 300 and 350... very worried because of I didn't want to burn the resistors like one guy did (I was paranoid) hehehe

Please, God no ;_;
Dont know what shit areas you live in that a college educated engineer only makes $12 an hour. You could go work right now overnight at Walmart and make $17. So give him $12/hour. Guess what it takes him 6 hours to preform the service. From Going to pick up the packages, to opening the system, to cleaning it off, testing, reassembly. Packing it all up, Then double checking your return address, going to the postal outlet, filling out everything and mailing it back to you.
Well lets see. Canada Computers which is decently large charges this for OS installation
Operating System Installation (Windows or Mac OS)
- Install all drivers and Windows updates
- Install Microsoft Security Essentials
- Remove unnecessary software
- Operating System software not included
$69.99
And thats literally what 3 clicks and wait till its done.

I confirm this he’s has excelled himself with this!
You pay for the knowledge and skill and he has gone above and beyond so far !
I’m so glad I didn’t try this myself I think I would’ve lost all my hair by now!
Yep I skipped college, yet still driving around in a Tesla Model X, and living in very nice 9th floor condo.
So its only the soldering that deserves money ? Not the rest of the time ? Guess you need to also learn what overhead is as well. Just simple wear on the tools and vehicle would deserve more than the pennies you think you should be paying.
If i was him i'd be charging $100, and people would still be lining up to get it done.
Until you hand over the unit he doesnt need to honor anything. You should have taken the offer when it was given then you would have got it for that price

There are hundreds of solders out there, you can chose the one you like the most :S
What's the problem then...? You can wait for some months till the prices lower... or you can try yourself as I did

Like I said I made this arrangement well before you had your greasy little mitts on a mod chip. There was nothing to send, just a gentleman’s agreement that once I had the unit he would do the installation. In turn I wouldn’t try to undercut him by looking for someone cheaper or try to leverage his price in another market for a profit. Just one install for the price we agreed upon.
When it arrives sounds like a few days to max 2 weeks and not 6 weeks+
In fact regular expiration time for price quotes is between 14-30 days and binding price quotes only exists in a two-way manner (= you guarantee that youre going to buy from him when it arrives, even if other options are cheaper and he guarantees that he will do it for said price, even if his prices increased)
Youve been here since 2009 and youve done exactly 0 for anybody here but yourself. 20 posts total, first one and only remotely reasonable posts was talking about your shipping confirmation. The other 19 posts were during the last 48 hours only crying about price, insulting others and not understanding the very basic concept of a business and price adjustments.
He is registered since 2019 and has infinitely more useful posts than you have and probably ever will.
Most other forums would have banned you by now.
Talking about others braging while you make false assertions and they are only stating the truth. Now one might argue one of true greatness wouldnt have to write that, but on the other hand that just puts yourself even lower.
You had one or two people showing some symphathy in your first two posts, the more you post the more youre just an ignorant annoyance to everybody.

I said in my first post about this what was all about. The only reason I responded was because someone quoted me for no apparent reason. I don’t give a shit about about piracy or any of that shit, I wanted to mod my console for the same freedom I had on 3ds. It sickens me that people will leverage the benefits of the actual mod chip as if was a blessing bestowed upon them by the enlightened through a soldering iron. The mod chip installer is not your messiah so quite sucking so hard you will never get the poison out. Nintendo did an amazing job putting together the Switch for an affordable price, and Team Xecutor did a great job designing this mod chip and all of its capabilities. People taking undeserved credit for and and profiting off the hard work of others is distasteful. Every single switch sold for $700 puts more in the pocket is of a scalper than it does for Nintendo and Xecutor combined. They are the ones fleecing us and driving the price of Switches and now mod chip through the roof, fuck their lives. Anyone that kowtows at the feet of the scalpers of encourages that type of price gouging should be ashamed of theirself.
I have a Switch lite, will be installing SX Lite in the next few days, it's currently running 8.1.1, is there any way i can update it to 10.0.4 now that 10.1.0 is released (I know i missed it by a day)? I head 8.1.1 has problems with booting SX lite consistently.
i understand choidujournx will cause brick.

I'm going to say I felt for you by not having a price quoted being held for you like Squee said he would have done, but you've ranted for more than a couple pages now and it's becoming very dramatic, insulting, exhausting to read, etc.
You're really barking up the wrong tree. People would have felt more sympathy for you if you left it at a post or 2 showing the texts, but you're really starting to piss people off and it's not going to favor you in any good light.
Great, you warned he didn't hold to his price originally agreed upon, so people should take that into consideration is what you're saying. You don't need to insult everyone and carry that on for pages and pages and pages. I'm honestly shocked a moderator hasn't jumped in yet.
P.S. You could have tried reaching out to him more times via PM nicely asking if he could hold the price originally agreed upon than quickly blasting him on the forum thread; I'm sure that didn't help you.
P.P.S.
No one has mentioned Modder's tools/paste he uses on customer's products which need to be resupplied. That goes into the factor of his pricing too.

Man, that's beyond my brain
I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though -

SylverReZ:
@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1 -
@
SylverReZ:
Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

Maximumbeans:
Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha

SylverReZ:
@Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.+1
