Anyone have a link to a seller that will ship to the US if you message them? Thanks in advance.
Looking for a link as well. Any significant differences between HWFly and Instinct NX and Picofly methods for just a regular user who wants to do Homebrew offline? Thanks ahead of time.
Aliexpress chips sellers hides their products. If you want to by - write them message.
Posts in this thread have been quite helpful in making a decision. Seems like I'm going to make a decision on an Instinct NX V6 (OLED) Chip and I wanted to get a DM or message on what Aliexpress Chips sellers to contact for purchase.

I managed to install it on Oled Hynix but it took me a long time: 4k7 point A resistor knocked out (next time I would use a bit of low temperature solder paste with a slight touch of soldering iron). After all, I needed to replace 4k7 and nearby 47k. Unfortunately the pcb in this area cools quite well and I didn't want to use hotair higher than 300c so I have to replace them manually with a soldering iron: after 30-40 attempts for each resistor, I managed to achieve a satisfactory effect, they are really tiny. Instinct-nx starts every time, although once it took a few minutes (was glitching red-blue light) and then it started learning again (yellow light) and works fine after that. Overall happy with it.

Unsure but now there are a lot of rp2040 based ones:
US $18.16 11%OFF | For switch Core V4 v5 Upgradable Flashable Support V1 & V2 Erista and Mariko for switch lite v4 for switch oled v4 chip https://a.aliexpress.com/_EuBqZln
Which model should I buy for a Oled Switch? Would it be the "oled" or "rp2040 oled" in the various selections from your shared link.

Haven't done hardmodding before so I apologize if it's common knowledge. Many thanks ahead of time!

Incase any one’s wondering, I redid my cpu cable and switched back to the flex and it worked for some reason (all points still measured the same). But I did break the display connector 🥲
I had exactly the same problem as seen in your video. I redid all the solder points with wire instead of the flex. No fix. What do you think fixed yours?

I honestly don't know I just kept desoldering and resoldering all the points. Maybe try a different thicker wire for dat0. Because according to sthetix's video when it blinks purple red the issue is point c.

Thank you. I saw that video too that's why I changed the dat0 adapter.
I use the dame type of wire that he uses, I will try a thicker one.

My hwfly v5 switch (hynix mmc) having issue with booting ofw/sysnand, it just shows black screen but emunand is working fine. Anyone knows if it's caused by Hynix emmc or FPCB? I just don't want to loose my game saves😥

I've changed the cable to dat0 adapter to a thicker one. Got the same readings and same red led blinking.
I've attached some log pics.

@LPRM if you press vol up & vol down it boots to OFW also? Did you try to retrain it (r-option)? Your diode values in your other post are fine. Maybe CPU soldering, RST connection or FPCB are bad?
