Hacking Hardware Repair shops in Berlin/Brandenburg (or somewhere I can ship the console) who offer patched Switch hacking?

[bouncytorch]

Hi! For fellow German residents on the forum, does anyone know if there is some kind of a repair shop in Berlin/Brandenburg that offer patched Switch hacking? I'm not skilled enough to perform my own mod, I don't have the tools and frankly there aren't many tutorials on installing the modchip, so I'm looking for some kind of service that could do that.
Maybe someone knows a service outside of Brandenburg, maybe even somewhere abroad where I can ship my console to be modded?

Try on local ebay or Craigslist... Or ask directly to local repair shops, if they install switch mods.
There are plenty of tutorials on YT

Don't think they advertise the kind of service I'm looking for on ebay
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, I'm not looking for tutorials or tools to perform the "operation" myself, I'm looking for a service, maybe some repair shop that can also install the modchip. I'm not looking to be a modding enthusiast, I'm looking for a professional to do it for me.

I'm asking if someone knows if there's a place like that nearby or a place in EU that I can ship the console to to be modded. I'm having trouble finding one and maybe someone here used and can recommend one they found.

Also since there are "plenty of tutorials on YT" mind linking one, maybe the one you found to be best? Might help in case I decide to do it myself

You won’t find a “real” shop. If so, they do it secretly.

You can place an ad in „Kleinanzeigen“ or ask directly in the forum. I assume you want a guarantee on this, which is why you tried to do this in the shop?

Many come from Germany (like me) and could definitely help you.

not sure if i want a real guarantee but at least an understanding that the person doing the mod knows what they're doing. makes sense why i wouldn't find a real one since nintendo tends to sue modders and mod makers, i was just wondering if someone here previously used one.
didn't know about Kleinanzeigen! probably going to ask there if no one here knows. sorry i'm no citizen, i'm just a resident. a filthy migrant is what i am /j
thanks tho! appreciate the pointer.

Well... I found this one, but it's in US. If you change the settings to worldwide, you can also see offers from UK, France, Germany and so on...
Look also on picofly thread in this forum, few weeks ago (if I remember correctly) a guy was talking about an installer from France.

About the guide, I follow this one, it's very good, haven't found any YT Video good as that pdf guide. You'll have to Watch multiple videos to get the same knowledge as the pdf guide.

thats a lot of muney... an unpatched switch costs about the same and i could definitely ground a joycon pin myself. do you think it's a good idea to just buy an unpatched one?

That depends on your economic situation, I can talk only for myself, I can mod my own console, so I'm good.
You wanted to find someone who could mod your console, I told you where to find them. If I were you, I'd contact them asap before Nintendo starts reporting the ads, like they're doing with the sellers on AliExpress.

Kinda depends on if you want a V1/V2 or an OLED.

Looking at the options I came to the conclusion it's better if I just buy an unpatched console lol. an unpatched unit costs as much as taking it to someone else, so *shrug*

Being chipped is more convenient than unpatched with rcm dongle.

A little update on that, the Japanese seller sent me a patched unit! That's a bummer, I am very disappointed lol. I don't really want to attempt to buy off of ebay again, so my only choices are buying in person or having someone mod my current console. If anyone is willing to help me in the Brandenburg region, feel free pm me.
