Is the hwfly cpu flex cable still the same?

[Rekna]

I got my V2 switch modded back in 2023 with the hwfly v5 chip, and I by accident choose the SX clone version MV1-6 variant, and from what I can gather it's not flashable with the hwfly-nx firmware.

Wanting to try Android and linux on my switch, I learned that the firmware on the chip won't play nice with it. I'm now thinking it might be easier to just buy a new Hwfly RP2040 chip, and replace it, as they are so dirt cheap now.

So my question is: Is the CPU flex cable still the same? So I just can swap the chip, and be on my way?

Here is a pic of my hwfly

Small update.
I've ordered a new hwfly RP2040, and should hopefully arrive soon. I've been researching a lot the last few weeks, and stumbled upon a video where a guy swaps between an older hwfly and a newer rp2040, while reusing the flex cable. So I suspect the cable is still same

Here is the video I found:


I will post another update once the chip arrives, and have been swapped.

I can confirm the cable can be reused!

I received the new picofly chip, swapped it out, and it works without any issues.

It does take a bit longer to boot, but it's not a huge issue.

Thanks for this, I was wondering if the cable is the same as instinct v6 and picofly also for my OLED. Good to know cables can be reused
