    Hacking Installing picofly

    There is a ton of information in these threads : https://gbatemp.net/threads/picofly-aio-thread.628951/ https://gbatemp.net/threads/picofly-a-hwfly-switch-modchip.622701/ Have you thought about what to do with the DAT0 connection? A DAT0 adapter or the kamikaze method? A lot of instability...

    Instinct Modchip Flashing Red

    Red means that something is wrong with one of the connections to the emmc. I would suggest contacting the mail-in mod chip service because if you can't solder, you can't fix this.

    v1 unpatched only boots OFW if install sysMMC after RCM and launch via Hekate

    No, the fuse check isn't performed when entering the RCM mode. So that can't be it. I have never tried a resistor between those pins but some posts here suggest that a resistor in the controller causes the problems you describe. So may try a separate jig? Since you can boot into ofw, it...

    Switch OLED die after pi fly install help please

    You are missing one half of the capacitor in picture #1. But the processor becoming boiling hot is a bad sign. Usually that only happens when you short out something or feed a voltage that is way too high. The ripped off pads of the casing in picture #2 and #3 probably won't matter much. They...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    I think that is just a small voltage regulator (1.8v 3A) for the ACL5639 as it needs both 3.3v and 1.8v

    Just to confirm, it is not happening because of the nogc setting in Hekate?

    Hacking Homebrew Misc any way to directly use a USB keyboard as a controller?

    There is no homebrew app which converts your mouse/keyboard into a controller. You need an adapter like an Aimzenix which are sold for $15~$40 on Amazon.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    That is supposed to be 100 ohm or 47 ohm depending on the model. I recall some post in this thread mentioning that some chinese clones mounted the wrong resistor values.

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    I presume you have some HWfly flex cable. According to this post, there aren't any capacitors on the flex cable, only resistors. https://gbatemp.net/threads/hwfly-lite-cable-components.626438/ The resistors are only on the rp2040 board. Look through this topic for the appropriate value for your...

    Hacking Hardware Need help with seemingly dead switch after botched modchip attempt

    Running the Switch without a fan during the start is no problem. It has thermal throttling so if it gets too hot it will shut down to prevent any damage. The sp1 cap from the apu also doesn't matter. The Switch should work without that. Get your multimeter and first start checking whether you...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    That is why professional ultrasonic cleaners have a feature called frequency sweeping where they prevent using the same frequency all the time. We have at work but they are pretty expensive and so is that Brandson stuff that goes into it.

    Hardware PS5 Unreadable Disc – cant recognise the disc

    Lasers have a lifetime and gradually they burn up. Also, when the first batches of PS5 consoles were made there was a shortage of semiconductors. Maybe some less than optimal components made it too the market as well.

    Hacking Hardware Misc Hwfly on V2 worked for 2 days then wifi issues 2110-2003 and 2110-2101

    It might be related to the caps as mentioned here : https://gbatemp.net/threads/no-wifi-on-switch-after-hwfly-install-2110-1118-error.614615/ Those caps or the traces near them could be damaged while removing the shield from the cpu. The caps are there for a reason, usually stabilizing or...

    Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

    You might have a flux that melts at very low temperatures. The label will show the activation temperature (something like 125C) but before that, it will already have liquified. Some flux (including proper brands) will start to get liquid at 50 degrees Celcius. That might be moving around inside...
