Hacking Is there any HWFLY for v2 Switch installation guide that isn't video?

[anhminh]

I'm not very good with English and I ain't too familiar with hard modding so I'm not very confident I could follow the video guide. Is there any step by step guide with picture, tip and warning? I really don't want to mess it up.

Can you solder ? if not it is probably not going to be easy for you

I have the tool for it, just not very confident with my skill if the solder point is too small.

If you are not comfortable soldering it is probably better off hiring someone else to solder or buy a pre modded one, there is already one guy on the buying/selling section messed up his unit.

How did he mess up?

Buddy, the task require a great soldering skill and principally to micro soldering, you need a microscope (at least a magnify lens) and solder in points lest than 0.5 mm diameter.

A guide without a video is hard to produce will need LOTS and lots of images and zoom images.

The ModChip installation is not for the Heart faintless, need really skills and patience.

probably he damage some tracks, blew up components, shortcut points or similar.

in the thread he said he blown a resistor.

Really? Because I don't see they use any special tool in the video and they only solder like 4 points or something. Then how about a schematic or some kind of map to see which point should I solder??

If you are installing hwfly/sx core on v2, you don't even need a guide.. Only soldering you need to do are sp1 and sp2 points on SoC QSB. Clip the nand module to modchip, insert QSB's ribbon into the connector and clip modchip itself to motherboard. That's it, no need to scratch the soldering mask and do any micorsoldering like OLED.

Unless you want to use OLED/lite chips on v2 (which is unnecessary since there are flashable core chips), only in that case you need to solder those 4 wires:

So I just need to solder SP1 and Sp2 on V2 and that is it? Isn't their solder two more point on some resistor on the chip in the video as well? Isn't it necessary?
