Thanks, it was a little fiddly but just take your time so not to miss anything!

I'm sure you could attach it to something like that

A lot of people moan the heat shield needs cutting but this give the best close, you would not know there was anything else installed in the back. Go on Aliexpress and search for rp2040, the links get taken down as soon as I list them so don't bother anymore.

It's not something I do, I don't trust myself with my own stuff, never mind someone elses!

Some people just don't care about items or values?

Yer your right, I'm getting a few things from eXtremeRate now so will look at picking something up from there in the future.

Yer, he must have done something stupid like that, shame I didn't get more faulty but o well!!

Maybe need to update the sd card?

@fixingmoddingbuilding i think its not the sd card when i remove the sd card and turn the switch on it just gies back to the ofw, not the no sd card logo

@@shawnshwn8145 Must be bad/loose solder points somewhere?

No, there toasty..

Thanks, I was lucky again, wanted more issues for the video but somethings better then nothing!

With a little experience and practice it is easy but with none it's a recipe for disaster! I recommend a lot of practice before you jump in

@@fixingmoddingbuilding Im built different though, ill manage

@@nourie4473 🤣I am the same, I did an sxos install years a go without any experience or decent equipment, just decided to go for it! Thought I should send you the responsible reply to begin with!

@@fixingmoddingbuilding Haha yea I'll practice with some leftover stuff I have. Btw, I wanted to ask, does it matter which Firmware my switch is for the picofly to work?

@@nourie4473 At the moment no, atmosphere works on the latest fw so can update if needed.

Yer, they obviously just recover them and say its a refurb!? Its not a hard/big job to open the back, clean, check the paste!

Yer, the new kits are so much quicker and easier, this way never really needs using ever again!!

Thanks, it's more of a heads up to people thinking there getting a fully refurbed laptop when actually it's been reset only!!

If you watch the video it doesn't claim to work for me?

Depending on your hot air station but normally go for around 420/440c. 70/80% air speed. Just keep the heat moving, don't focus in one spot and you will see the solder melt. The only issue you have underneath is I think the light sensor? A white component with about 6 legs on it. This due to the location can burn really easily there might be a better way to avoid it but in the past I have had to replace it.

I'm good thanks

If you put it in place you will see, the chips on the board are a different orientation so only one will physically fit

@@fixingmoddingbuilding ok thank you 🙏

I probably did it when I first started trying to fix but sometimes you need to know when to stop as you're making the issue worse! Glad you got the fix though, it makes it more satisfying!

Thanks 👍

Made a video on it ruclips.net/video/8IRnml68m_8/видео.htmlsi=By9vPQtaX6jqIsDw

I had a cheap one that would do the job you don’t have to break the bank

I use this one, very cheap! ruclips.net/video/8IRnml68m_8/видео.htmlsi=By9vPQtaX6jqIsDw Up until now it has done everything I needed but I needed to remove a large chip off a ps5 and I couldn't do it! So they have there limits, I will need to buy a more expensive one (reluctantly) but can't afford it currently! But overall a cheap one is good enough to begin with, I have always tried to repair on a budget!

@fixingmoddingbuilding thank you !

Hey buddy, your being far too kind! Its took me a long time to get more confident, doing something like this you really need a microscope, a digital zoom on a camera will work but goes a bit grainy. It took me years before I could afford to get a digital microscope so repairs can be done without them but just a little harder. Just keep practicing, buying faulty stuff as cheap as possible is the best thing to do, try and fix anything, especially if its cheap!

@fixingmoddingbuilding Thanks! I do have a $10 microscope that works fine for installing modchips, but it just doesn't look clear enough. Plus the LEDs pointing right at the PCB makes some parts look very dim and others like metal look as bright as the sun. I want to upgrade to a better one. Andonstars seem great, but I need a separate scope that I can mount on an arm to move freely.

Thanks mate!

Thanks, if you have completed an Oled, v2 is going to seem so easy!

Yer it's purely to use as a test battery for me, wouldn't want to give to someone!

Yer, practice lots first!

Its an easy mod to make something look completely different! eXtremerate are really good at giving feedback, maybe worth getting in touch and making the suggestion? I am sure copyright etc will come into play but if people ask things could happen?

Comes with the same as the real one, I think 11?

Thanks ✌️

The two cables are v1/v2 so will only need to use one

Yes, or a mig switch card?

I use enamel wire

I don't think tinning is a good idea. Could be a faulty connector, might need to get another?

testing between the connector and the solder point is good. So I dont know about that. Something is just misaligned or im not pushing the adapter in far enough.

Looks like I did it. I needed to test using the voltage measurement setting not the beep tester. its all soldered in and .549 reading. Im a newbie at this stuff and I guess the beep tester only works above a certain voltage.

Thanks, I'm glad it helped 👍

Yes
