Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[QuiTim]

That helps a lot man, thank you so much. Need to try it out tomorrow. What exactly do you describe on the yellow lines? The "S" is still the GND right?

This should be better.
You solder D lines to capacitors (green)
Solder S points to shield (red)
Solder G point, two middle pins on flex, to Pico (blue)

Hello, I have an issue with a pico RP2040 installation.

I connect everything good, but when I turn on the console the light keeps blue then green and the OFW starts.

The first turn on of the console when the chip trains the chip keeps some seconds on white led then blue then green led and OFW boot. Any idea can what happen?

Are the points marked in blue all rst points?

I just took a MOSFET off a V2 flex and manually soldered it.

In blue, yes

Hehehe easy for you bro, people are struggling here
How is that 3v3 wire working out for you? I would like to start using something like that one but I thought it's supposed to be thicker.

After putting everything together, i have a bridged RST and GND (only with voltage battery).
I disconnect battery and i have don't bridged RTS and GND. Is that how it's supposed to be?

I didn't understand after reading 30 pages. When are two mosfets required?

Whenever one mosfet doesn't work. In truth, [most] flex cables have two mosfets on them.

EDITED: Modified to say most flex cables, instead of all

0.1 is enough for the rp2040 no need for thicker wire here , the only place where u need atleast 02mm is the mosfet/s from the mosfet and the rest 0.1mm is more then enough

dont v1 flex cables come with one mosfet?

for most of the erista board 1 mosfet is enough as far as i know. ive tried unpatched and patched v1s with 1 mostfet both worked but i install in general 2 mosfets on all devices since i know 2 always work.

just not to run in any trouble after installing it since they just cost cents.

I wouldn't know, I've only ever installed a v2 cable

It worked for me on lite with one mosfet, but after a few minutes it got hot and smoke. Will the second mosfet solve this problem or is it just not suitable in terms of parameters?

It's 0.15 to 0.2 (calipers suck), I got it from a HDD arm, seems fine on everything. It's my new fav, can't wait to order a bunch of colors.

If it's from the voice coil it might be aluminum. It's nice to work with being all soft and malleable. I have some lying around somewhere, I will give it a try.

Size: Whatever, make it fit.

Capacitance: No way.

I don't understand your answer. He is talking resistance values and you are talking size & capacitance???

From what I understand from what Mr Skinner is saying, the resistor values are very wrong and he won't be able to do the mod as a result.

 

[abal1000x]

Hardrive using a high quality wire, i doubt its aluminium.

I think he just meant to say "resistance value: no way"

He was indicating that the size of the resistors wouldn't be an issue, just that the resistance values were WAY off, unusable, "no way"

And the first nintendo switch pico fly dead after make smook under Flex Cable.... No sound display only lines same old tv .... Good by console.
I use this digram v2 on v1.
Try other consoles. Me be in next days.

The 2 legs to the cpu shell not soldring put touch it i think...
