Hardware Modding a switch v2

[Cyqo3]

Will this from AliExpress work on any switch v2? :

Raspberry pi pico Hwfly Picofly RP2040 Chip for CORE ~8€

I don't have the switch I bought from eBay yet but I already want to buy the mod chip. Is this one easy to install? Do you only need to solder two points or the other shit as well with that one? Any tutorial for explicit this one out there? I can't figure what exactly I have to look for since it says pico and hwfly at the same time but I thought that's two different things?

Yes core chip works for v2

With those Aliexpress clones you never know what you're getting... I'd go with a RP2040-tiny from Waveshare.

I'm in the same boat. Was looking for modchip on ebay, but then I spotted a service listed that can install it for you. Would you trust this service? If not, what are the red flags I should watch out for?

I got somebody I can recommend if you need someone in the US to install a modchip.

I know the chips are cheap now, do those prices include the chip or is that just the install fee?

The guy I mentioned include a rp2040, I guess it is cheap, and he wants business. The only reason I recommend the guy was that I had work done on my oled by the guy, had to repair a dat0 problem, swapped out the four anchor points dat0 for a kamikaze dat0.

I'm thinking of offering mod services, located in SE Michigan (US). Not really sure the best way to get back into the market as I've been out for a while, though used to do OG Xbox's years ago and then moved to 360 JTAG's then glitch mods.

Here's some OLED Kamikaze work I did recently.

As I'm new to creating an account here (though have been lurking for a while), I think my posting options are limited so any advice would be appreciated.

Could I get that?
