Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[dehydrated_lemur]

for the one millionth time in this thread, this is because you should be using 100 ohm instead of 47 ohm for dat0+cmd. So for the rp2040-tiny, you need to either replace the on-board 47 ohm resistors with 100 ohm variants, or add another 47 ohm resistor each on the dat0+cmd points

Is this the issue that the solution you posted is referring to?

yes

ah I see it in the pico guide now. thanks

do you think it's a good idea to preemptively apply this?

Hello guys, Im noob in electronics but can we do this? 2 wires from the mosfet one each for APU capacitor?

yes, that's what most of us do. 100/100/47 works well for all switches.

Are there points on the pico development board for SDA/SCL?

Check on picofly guide

 

[dehydrated_lemur]

Check on picofly guide

it doesn't say for development board, unless I'm missing it.

Not exactly crap. I also started something like that once. It was enough for many projects, but then I wanted something better.

I also got one from Andonstar, similar to the one from @deeps

I was very happy with it, but the small work area was too small. So I sold it again and in the end I'm more than happy with this.

Sure, it's fine for what I do (I repair/mod only as hobby)... But compared to anondstar, the image quality is crap, since I paid for it 20€ more. When I bought mine, I didn't knew the difference between separate lights like the anondstar and top mounted one.


Does anyone know if there is another cmd pad on switch OLED??

Yours was my first microscope too. It did it job but not enough. Now i'm using this one.
As for your cmd alternative point. Unfortunately the only alternative you can access is under the emmc.

He means the resistance next to it and that is 47k

So here we go, the proof again:

Thanks for the help again, everything worked fine, found the 47k resistor on an old Chinese phone board.
First I've replaced it with 75k, since I couldn't find 47k, glitching with pico and hekate worked fine, but booting into ofw, I was having purple screen

That's professional stuff, I don't have that much space on my desk, I needed something compact and good enough to see those micro components at the beginning I was using my phone camera

You got also a kickass hot air station

Hello, both my oled came back with installed picofly, modder seems to have done a good job.
I'll send later all the pictures he sent me during the installation.
He is in france, if you need someone to do it for you (he ask for 130€ for oled) I can send you his informations.

I tried to boot OFW without sd card, pressing POWER while holding Vol+ doesn't work, neither with Vol-.
But pressing POWER while holding both Vol-+ instead is working, is that the correct way ?

press both + and - when you see no sd card screen. in my country modding service fee is about 25$ for oled (mine is 20$).

20$ to mod a OLED? that's nuts!

Which country?? For 20$ I won't even open the console, not worth my time.

Yea 130€ is way expensive. ($143) but come on $20? Here in USA, it usually around $50-$75 if you know the right person.

That cheap?? What's the average selling price of modded oled switch??

Not sure, I just know a couple guys who installs the chips for that price, but you must also supply the chip. Luckily the chips are cheap anymore. I bought my grandkid a oled for Xmas and had it done. No mailing, only about 15 miles from me, so I dropped it off, then pick it up couple days later.

In EU the selling prices are around 4-500€, so modding prices are also over 100€

It is related to country friend. I'm in vietnam where workers have to work 8h for 20$ so i'm not gona complain about the modding fee.
