So so close - Hwfly not glitching

[CAPSBOY]

Gday all
I’m so close to getting my sons switch back to him but have got to where the switch will boot but it goes into OEM firmware and the Hwfly it goes blue once .. then two short yellow flashes.

Could it be a bad Dat0 point.. I tried my best to get it under the chip with a little bit of the line sticking out.

Any help would be great .. can provide more photos too.

Thanks in advance

That's a Picofly-based modchip board, by the way, not a Hwfly.

Ops changing title .. thanks for the heads up .. was 6am when I did this … need coffee lol

@Costello

Sorry to be a pain can you update the title to be Picofly instead of Hwfly

Thanks in advance

Grrrrrrrrrr my dat0 connection is horrible.. it slides under but won’t go pass the line .. now I have tried again it wouldn’t even give me a voltage drop .. ordering a new one .. got the ones in the third photo .. they okay ?

Most of those adapters can be unreliable. I prefer Kamikaze... but that's not for everyone.

Good luck!

Ok update .. new dat0 connector came and am getting 0.7v voltage drop in diode mode .. here is a video (sorry about the blur) and photos of my soldering to help .. also noticed that one of the ribbon connectors is out a little bit

You destroyed the anchor at the nand shield and the adapter barely touches the ball.
Do not use this shitty black adapters
Tray to push the adapter against the ball while you glue the adapter to the board, keep the pressure until it dries
Do not try to do kamikaze whith your soldering skills/tools
Good luck
