Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[Blakejansen]

this has nothing to do with resistor issues.
its just a switch thing some need 100ohm do run properly.
is u put your switch back together completly befor testing then it is ur own fault !!!

with a zero and a tiny u know its works properly with this firmware.
no one has any diagramms from the picofly cloney with clones i mean all other then rp2040 zero/tiny cause thats what the firmware was written for .

did u also add uv mask or whatever that white stuff is under the emmc?

did u flatten the 0.1mm wire? u might be having hight issues what ever ur issue is.

and one tip befor u even start the board clean the flux properly.........

Anybody tried chipping an already updated 17.0.0 ??
I bought two last night and were already on it.
Installed the chips and both oled consoles reach glitch limit. Odd.
Never had a problem up until now.

I got the Switch Lite working with the new Waveshare chip and FW 3.75. I created an Emunand and installed a Game but the switch randomly reboots/shuts down and boots ofw the chip then tries to glitch…

Hello, I just did my first mod with one of these RP2040-NS kits from AliExpress, and the touch is not working (no response at all) in both OFW and emuMMC, but strangely, works perfectly fine in hekate menu. Any ideas what might be causing this?

 

[Marax]

Thank you guys for your help! My Switch now runs fine it was the Heatshield which had too much pressure on the Chip now the switch runs fine! Thank you @Dee87 espacially! The new chip runs perfect und the two caps too! I am very happy

Read up, they realized that their iron came sightly unscrewed and led to some cold joints

There is an adapter that has all the points on it that you don't need to even scratch CLK for. It is green and you remove your EMMC and attach it to the adapter. Surely you have seen it before.

everyone following this thread has seen it, some people like @abal1000x even make custom ones.

Can you link the one that Abel made?

If I can learn to reball, it would make installs 100% easier.

Guys is it just a case that every picture I see of single capacitor mosfet installs are on the leftmost capacitor?
Can you perform it on the rightmost one too?
