They don't ban accounts

They 100% do ban accounts, but not for hacking. More like chargebacks.

But that is different than pirating game, of course they would ban your account if you do a chargeback.

People are suggesting using a laptop technician, I may add that you can get real good modding with cell phone guys too, the tools are even more adequate.

About the mods: Regular switch is easiest to do, switch lite is harder and the OLED is way harder.

To buy the chips, just search for HWFly on Aliexpress. It is not available always, but today it is.

I wouldn't say "easiest"... Mariko switch here, XKJ4000????? S/N. All 3 consoles (mariko, lite, oled) require a skilled technician, tools, and a hard-to-find modchip.

There's a guy a not far from me who repairs TVs in his home who has been my go-to for any soldering jobs I don't feel comfortable doing myself. I just mention what the project is or show him a video & he gets the items back to me usually in under 48 hours, & charges so little that I tip him because I feel bad. I found him searching "electronics repair" on Yelp, I'd suggest doing the same & coldcalling a few just to ask around.

As for price of console, I've seen an OLED go for around $500 online, and a little more expensive locally [funny enough].

£350 for oled
£200 for lite and v1

Cheapest is around 550-600 here in the US that I have seen.
