    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Does it fit under the metal shield on the lite or do you need to cut the shield?

    Hacking So I am about to solder in my wiikey...

    This would be an east trace repair for any professional. I would either practice on something valueless or give it to a professional. Preserve this beautiful Wii modchip which is so rare nowadays. Yes the Wii would work fine after a trace repair (scratching nearby trace and soldering to it)...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    I love this emmc reball adapter from @abal1000x. Already successfully used it a few times. In my last system, I have a weird problem where the touch screen doesn't work after reballing. The connector and ribbon cable look to be in great shape. Does anyone know if there are any vias or traces...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Weird. I think everything is exactly as you describe. Also I put tape over the work while testing so unlikely to be a short. This is the mosfet I'm using: https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/irfhs8342pbf.pdf?fileId=5546d462533600a401535623992e1f5f Have others had consistent good luck with larger...

    Maybe from constant heat haha. Don't worry about that point. It is not connected.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    I'm always so impressed by the back mosfet installations everyone posts here. Could anyone lend some advice? I've tried 3 separate times on 3 separate OLEDs but always get the same issue... ==* Error and boot to OFW. I used a lot of lead free solder in my last attempt as you recommend...

    Hardware Wii Modchip Identification Guide

    I wish the Wii modchip scene would still get some love. There are still (extremely niche and questionably useful) needs for modchips on the Wii for those who want to get rid of the disc drive entirely. From my understanding, getting rid of the disc drive requires using neek2o to boot wii games...

    Valve offering refurbished Steam Decks with a price cut

    Worth noting that the new version has been in sale during multiple high-profile sales lately. Wonder if the refurbished units will also be discounted during the winter sale

    "Call of Duty" servers for the 360-era games have been fixed, some with 100k+ players online

    This comment alone made me go out and buy a used Xbox 360 and a copy of BO1. You are spot on about the toxicity and "culture" haha. Brings me so much joy as well. Like taking a portal straight back to 2012. Highly recommend anyone who grew up on these games get online these next few weeks. It...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Been having a blast modding OLEDs lately. Still haven't had a chance to try the back mosfet though.

    What is the deal with these shops?

    I don't see the point of shops. Not only do you waste time with slow download and install speeds, but you also waste time finding a new shop every month when the last one gets shut down. Seriously what's wrong with just using Google and DBI?

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    So it sounds like the back mosfet has a similar problem to the processor mosfet install which is some switches might require more current (2 mosfets)? Would there be a benefit then to using a stronger mosfet on the back or even dual mosfets?

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Those are connected within the mosfet itself. Same points. It's possible that bridging them externally increases how much current can enter the mosfet though. Flooded them in solder to bridge the points. Still getting the same error. I ended up just using a CPU flex cable so that this doesn't...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    Excited to be trying your back-mosfet method @abal1000x This is my first attempt and it is on a lite. I am getting the mosfet error (==*) and booting into OFW. Maybe there is not enough solder on the mosfet?

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    It's a miracle you can still boot to ofw. I think the longer you allow this person to work on it, the more likely you'll get a broken switch in the end of it. Do you trust someone who lied about their experience to do the right thing and buy you a new switch when they brick yours? Take it to a...

    Edited post above with the link. It has over 2000 sales and good reviews. Maybe I am the problem. Too much heat on my rework station maybe? Also the chips I got do not have the "waveshare" silk screen like in the photos. Also yes I am very excited to try your back mosfet method. It looks...
