At least this guy actually shows the process of soldering the mod chips on. Unlike the viewbotting parrots that just regurgitate steps they copy pasted from the internet and skip right over to the finished product.

I wanted to thank you for your guide. I just finished the mod with my switch after buying a microscope and practicing a while with SMD training kits before attempting the work myself. You can only appreciate the work you do once you did it yourself, everything is so tiny and I'm always afraid to break something. Thumps up, keep up the good work and guides !

Theoretically, it is easy to solder such tiny smd parts. Just don't keep your solder iron too long on one spot. Doing this increases your risk to damage these parts. I solder permanently with 350 degrees and never had any problems with it.

Why do you put the soldering iron to 300c instead of 400c? I thought low heat high time kills the board and creates bad joints.

Because you can cut off the Capacitor easily with 400c and destroy the flex cable, when you don’t watch out.

It won’t kill the board or create bad joints. It just takes a little more patience and is easier on components. A hot solder iron can lift pads and break capacitors. High heat is easier to work with but you have to know what you’re doing and work quick

It's a two month old comment but the answer is you only need that usb to interface with it initially to load the firmware from a file downloaded on your pc. Once installed if didn't come preinstalled you can remove it and never use it again. The original usb stays and the two never have anything to do with each other it's just so a pc can initially interface with modchip to put firmware on modchip (hacking program)

I've heard that flashing the chip can put both the chip and your switch at risk I am hoping to do it on my switch but scared about the info I can't afford another if it goes wrong is there any truth behind it the info is on reddit a well detailed write up

Hello, my chip just arrived, I connected it to the PC but I only see that the blue light turns on and then a red/orange one but it does not open any folder on my PC, does this mean that it has the firmware already loaded inside?

Normally yes if it has a file loaded, nothing opens when connected to the PC

great video, one question, when you copy the firmware onto the chip, do you disconnect the cable with safe removal or not? also what could happen if you solder the chip onto the console without inserting the firmware inside?
@fixingmoddingbuilding
@fixingmoddingbuilding 6 ай бұрын
You probably should do safe removal but I never do with anything! If there's no firmware it either doesn't boot or just boots normal, you can just disconnect and plug into PC and install the software on it.
