Hey, your video was a massive help. Several hours later of careful soldering and rechecking and we did it first try. Thank you for providing such an invaluable resource. There are no other videos like yours.
I’ve done 2x v2 switches now.. I really want to buy an OLED and this is the first video I’ve watched that makes me think I would be able to install the chip.
Hey there, thank you so much for the video! I was doing the install with another guide, but every other one that i saw already had the FW. You are the only one who had the same thing. Ive just spent hours rechecking my connetions and my solderin and was wondering why it wasnt working. But now with your help and the FW it instantly worked. I am so relived. Thank you and god bless you!
This guide worked extremely well for us. While i wasn't able to do the soldering because i have no micro soldering experience and barely any regular soldering experience, however i had a family member that did and we were able to get it working first try!
You have the right attitude and it appears your skill set is developing nicely. You have patience, check. You are not afraid to work on it, check. You think things through, check. You care about learing and doing good work. I've worked as an ET for over 50 years, and you have a better skill set than many I've seen over the last 20 years. My goal today is , to still work with the desire to learn something new everyday. Good luck in the future.
Doing this mod on an OLED switch takes some fucking balls if you don't do this sort of work everyday. Kudos on you taking on the task. Best video I have come across. Just got my OLED switch finished. V1 and V2 models are a cake walk compared to this. The best part was you installed a V5 kit like I have. These videos should discourage 98% of people from taking this on. This is NOT easy and I was successful. It is worth paying a professional $100 to do this for most people. Thank you for the great video!
Installed one of these for a customer today, install went smoothly and just like the video. Customer did provide a newer revision of the kit than the one installed in this video but soldering locations were the same only difference was the cable routing, but like I said it worked just the same so thanks for a simple guide that worked perfectly for my first time doing this Mod vs my norm which is repairing the console it’s self.
@@fixingmoddingbuilding it’s rare I’ll probably do another since I think it’s the first it’s been asked of me to do, but I’m honestly not against doing another it was about 2hrs of work first go around & I’m sure I could speed that up, the soldering wasn’t bad I actually like how easy they made the job for me with the premade ribbons, but I’m also a repair tech for a living so I kinda do it daily on alot of device’s 😂
This looks like a far better install than the others I have seen. I’ve put this off as the dat0 looked like a nightmare and easy to mess up. Now I’ve seen this video I want to give it a go. I’ve already done original switch. Thanks for the video good job 👏👏

@@fixingmoddingbuilding Big update! I might get a soldering iron, if I end up getting it, and the mod chip, I will mod my oled with this guide! (which hopefully goes well) If it goes well, I will subscribe and like this video. And yes, I do have some experience with soldering, it's just that my soldering iron broke due to oxidation :/
thanks for the video brother, dearly appreciate the effort and service you have provided to the community with your videos, all it takes is 1 to make a basic video that may seem silly to some but can help yet so many. many thanks!
I am worried that the "slider" ( 14:00 ) stop making contact with the chip over time, i have saw other videos where they sold it to the chip, but its absolucly more than what i can handle in mi home, shoud i get worried that it stop making contact?
I was surprised that finally worked! Man you really need to improve your technique and your tools to do that !! Very very lucky that it is in working condition
thank you for the video bro, im watching a lot of videos because i want to install on my own, but i didnt find any chip like mine too. i never did this, but i got some basic tools and i hope i can get a good result. the seller deleted the product page, but before, i asked for the tutorial he had. the thing is the tutorial he sent used reflow with very professional tools i dont have lol.
Hi, yes I saw a video showing taking the nand off and reballing with a wire running underneath? Also read a lot about reflowing. The modder sthetix said he used to reflow but thinks the balls have a chance of cracking over time so he does not recommend it anymore he just goes for the pushing and holding technique.
@fixingmoddingbuilding youtube deleted my comment because of the link, but the video tutorial the seller sent to me is in other platform called bilibili, its a chinese youtube. i saw this sthetix video, its very detailed too. im using all of your videos as a reference, i plan doing tomorrow. i dont have solder mask and pcb cleaner, i hope i dont need them. after seeing a lot of videos just found this one mod chip like mine : ruclips.net/video/4fLPNE7Hfgg/видео.html
@fixingmoddingbuilding bro i just finished, but didnt work lol ( i expected this, and im already happy the switch turned after all ). when i press power button my chip lights blue, and then 2 short greens, 2 short greens and 2 short greens. and boot in OFW. do you know where i can see this LED patterns? ruclips.net/video/HVIyw2jMF3g/видео.html
Bought a Switch Oled last year, I don't play it at all lol (games are expensive you know). I was thinking of this as my first big (or should I say small) soldering project. I have very little experience with soldering, although I do really wanna buy the appropriate tools and give it a shot. I'm totally aware that I have a big chance of ruining my Switch, but I don't really care (despite that I'll be practicing A LOT with SMD kits prior to this)
So excuse a dumb noob but what does this mod do? I'm trying to look for a Switch to just play downloaded games offline and after much searching, maybe it's my crappy English, I have not gotten conclusive answers. Does this allow you to download roms to play offline (any easier mod for that should one want to do it themselves otherwise? Fascinating watch, and the nice music made it even better, but doing this myself is WAY out of reach atm)?
I've bought a few, some come pre installed with software, others don't. I normally just connect them all up to the switch and see if it displays no sd, if not it's easy to disconnect and plug into PC.
Hello, where can I find these kinds of wires that you soldered? I managed to put a chip for my switch V1 myself and now I would like to do it for an Oled switch too. Thanks for the video.
Idk this doesn’t look too hard. Just really small. But I just got a ts101 so this might be a great project for the ridiculously tiny tips I got for it. It seems like you need some pretty steady hands for this one.
If I had a better soldering iron at the time it might have gave me more confidence, I do have that soldering iron now and tiny tips but still not satisfied as the solder still rises up the tip and doesn't stay at the end, you might have more luck.
i have done on 3 v2 switches, one of them I slipped in the wifi capacitor on the left side of the shield that you have to remove, it was a headache to solder it again, but it worked!, im training to do on OLED systems, one day I will do it!
@@fixingmoddingbuilding thks for your answer but the problem it’s not of software hekate and Emmunand work great Ofw or CFW on sysnand doesn’t work it boots on eternal black screen, so I believe it’s a installation error
Hello! We bought an OLED and RP2040 modchip, got it all installed and soldered, but when we hold down the power button, it doesn't turn on and the light on the chip doesn't light up. We connected all the ribbon cables as you did, made sure the console is charged, but still nothing. We're pretty sure it is flashed with the firmware because when we connect it to our PC, it lights up blue and doesn't show up in the device list. I read that this means it is flashed. We've been doing this on and off for weeks now and would greatly appreciate your help! Thanks in advance :)
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.
Great video, hey is the pad below the "D" pad a real connection or an anchor point? My pad for that one came off and I wonder if it of any importance. Thanks
When I made the video didn't have a microscope, just used zoom on my phone. Since then bought the below microscope which I recommend. ruclips.net/video/5dcEsE-Lp38/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Great video but I don't understand where does the green wire come from at 18:51 ? I see you connecting the first green wire from one point to the other but then you say shorten the green wire but I don't see where it's connected to? am I missing something?
The green wire comes from the connector that goes under the nand chip. When I first attach it its longer then needed, just need trimming when connecting.
I've always been a little bothered that I got a patched v1 that would eventually require me to hard mod it. Looking at this I'm very thankful I still have a patched v1 so I can have a much easier time modding it!
Help, the pad connected to the 100 ohm resistor under 'D' on the flex cable near the microprocessor has come off. Can I bridge to another part of this flex? I can't see where the track connects to this pad. Best regards and thank you very much.
Amazing video 👏👏 I wouldn't say it's easy but not as difficult as i thought it would be Could you please do a Switch Lite next? I like your videos 😍 you have earned a subscribe 😎
Glorious Video, just about to do my own Oled, watched numerous videos, practiced soldering on old electronics, but I have a question. When you solder the wire to contact C, you do it on the ribbon, others have done it to the board, is there any difference? Reason for the ask is that I had to re order a ribbon, when I was tinning the contacts, Point C came right off the ribbon... tested it with a multimeter and sure enough it was now garbage. So with my new ribbon on its way, is it necessary to put that wire onto the ribbon, or can I put it to the board? If you happen to know, great! if not no worries :) Really great video, I will be having it in front of me when new kit arrives :)
Hi, thanks for the nice comment. With regards to the c point, I couldn't find much detail on this chip, the seller has no install instructions so i kind of muddled it together from reading different things. It seems to work fine so must have done something right 👍
Friend, I have some problems with a Nintendo Switch OLED. Could you help me Below where you take 3.3v there is a capacitor, could you help me find it, it is a small one. The clk point lost the connection. I would like to rebuild it. My switch does not turn on. Please help
Hello near the end of your switch v2 mod you use kefton tape I think it's called can I use ordinary cello tape to stop shorts or does it have to be kefton tape
congratulations, detailed and precise. A pleasure. Once the modification has been made, is there a video of how to install the software and how to download the games?
The seller wouldn't help, I just read what I could, found different snippets all over the place and put it together, thankfully right! Gbatemp website is normally good for info.
So after you install these RP2040 chips to an OLED or V2, what do you do software wise? once you flash the mod chip, you proceed like if it's a softmod? Sorry, very new to this lol
I have only practices on dead switches. I have the equipment and a few blue screen switches but don't have the time to do it. So technically no, I haven't done it 😁
Id recommend getting a ts100 or a pinecil 64 or some other of that sort. Weller and hakko are also good. Also make sure your tip is tinned! thats the number one mistake.
Search AliExpress for RP2040 for the chip, if you go through a lot of my recent videos it will show you what tools I am using, bought a lot of new items recently.
Hi there Great work btw I have a problem with the same picofly model It flash blue then stop Then flash yellow 1 short 1 long Can you help me with that?
There's not much to it so You need to check the solder joints, also check the chip has the software installed on it and your sd card has the correct files to boot.
when i power it on it is blue and after green yellow flashing 4 times no image,,what can be the problem i inspect all the solder joints manny times they look okey the pico if with software downloaded and instaled from your other video what can be the problem?
After 2-3 months after i modded my switch, it stopped booting into hekate and booted into OFW, the mod chip flashes 1 long yellow flash, and 1 short yellow flash. Is there anything that can cause this? I do not have autoboot on
Great video, I do have an issue though. It turns blue then flashes short then long while yellow. The github said that the CMD isn't connected but I don't know what that meant any help would be nice thank you.
Oled and Picofly rp2040, hekate. Emu side all running ok and standard side too. Can I update the switch firmware to play game cartridges on the stock boot side online ? Or never? Or a special method?
Thanks man ! with your tuturial i do the job ! , but now i have a problem , have you ever had a switch oled that before the logo put the fan 100% ? the temperature it´s good but the fan always 100% !
No sorry only done one oled and won't be doing another! Maybe check no little chips have been knocked off, there used to be one on the v1 that regulated when it turned on by the connector on the motherboard.
mine wont boot the light goes blue-green green - green green - and it stops, but i can hear the switch working. do you know what is the problem? the screen is black.

I see you connecting the first green wire from one point to the other but then you say shorten the green wire but I don't see where it's connected to?
am I missing something?
The green wire comes from the connector that goes under the nand chip.
When I first attach it its longer then needed, just need trimming when connecting.
When i touch the Dot to the ground nothing happens cau u tell me why? Ia there other Dot point to solder?
I don't know what you mean sorry
Hey I have a a straight soldering tip would it be easier to use a curved one during the installation?
What you feel comfortable with, I don't mind whatever I use, some people have favourites.
I've always been a little bothered that I got a patched v1 that would eventually require me to hard mod it. Looking at this I'm very thankful I still have a patched v1 so I can have a much easier time modding it!
Hi so this will be my first project, is there any video about soldering you recommend I should watch before trying this.
Thanks.
I would recommend practicing on a faulty board before an oled, also need something to zoom in with, microscope etc?
@@fixingmoddingbuilding thanks for the advice, I will try and get one. I was planning on using my phone zoom.
Help, the pad connected to the 100 ohm resistor under 'D' on the flex cable near the microprocessor has come off. Can I bridge to another part of this flex? I can't see where the track connects to this pad. Best regards and thank you very much.
Hi, I would say there must be another point out a test point but I do not have one currently to be able to check for you
Amazing video 👏👏
I wouldn't say it's easy but not as difficult as i thought it would be
Could you please do a Switch Lite next?
I like your videos 😍 you have earned a subscribe 😎
Thank you. I have the chip for a lite but don't have a lite yet but it's on my to do list. 👍
do you need the wires my kit didn't come with them
You need everything I used
What mode should the multimeter be in for testing that D0 point? Diode mode?
sthetix video guide says 0.500v~0.900v
@@juscelino2253 Wrong. These are not volts. These are ohms. Put it in diode mode (measures resistance).
where can you get the picofly chip for the oled switch?
Aliexpress, search rp2040
@@fixingmoddingbuildingIf I decide to hack the switch and install games and play online will I risk being banned? Is there a way to avoid the ban?
Glorious Video, just about to do my own Oled, watched numerous videos, practiced soldering on old electronics, but I have a question. When you solder the wire to contact C, you do it on the ribbon, others have done it to the board, is there any difference? Reason for the ask is that I had to re order a ribbon, when I was tinning the contacts, Point C came right off the ribbon... tested it with a multimeter and sure enough it was now garbage. So with my new ribbon on its way, is it necessary to put that wire onto the ribbon, or can I put it to the board? If you happen to know, great! if not no worries :) Really great video, I will be having it in front of me when new kit arrives :)
Hi, thanks for the nice comment.
With regards to the c point, I couldn't find much detail on this chip, the seller has no install instructions so i kind of muddled it together from reading different things. It seems to work fine so must have done something right 👍
Ese punto es clk y si pudiste haberlo soldado directamente sin el Flex
Bro, i intalled the chip, get the blue and green leds , but my screen didnt show anything , what i need to check ?
Need to look at all your solder points are solid and make good contact.
Have we gotten a better option for the OLED or no?
Mig switch?
Hi sir. Want to ask, is using this method the oled fast to broken ? Because other ppl said, kamikaze method is needed for oled.
I have read both work just as well, kamikaze is too risky.
7:24 can you explain what you are doing here? i dont really understand
@@randomcapybara1 you have to expose a trace but the grinder I used is not accurate so I missed the mark!
Better using sharp tweezers.
@@fixingmoddingbuilding thanks
Friend, I have some problems with a Nintendo Switch OLED. Could you help me Below where you take 3.3v there is a capacitor, could you help me find it, it is a small one. The clk point lost the connection. I would like to rebuild it. My switch does not turn on. Please help
Hello near the end of your switch v2 mod you use kefton tape I think it's called can I use ordinary cello tape to stop shorts or does it have to be kefton tape
Yer it's used to stop shorts, I think it might be OK but i wouldn't say for certain
congratulations, detailed and precise. A pleasure. Once the modification has been made, is there a video of how to install the software and how to download the games?
ruclips.net/video/ffAgo3qzLfM/видео.html
Thank you for these videos, great job, looks like nice clean work! Question: Where did you get instructions for this? Is there any written tutorials?
The seller wouldn't help, I just read what I could, found different snippets all over the place and put it together, thankfully right!
Gbatemp website is normally good for info.
@@fixingmoddingbuilding Sounds good! Thanks again!
So after you install these RP2040 chips to an OLED or V2, what do you do software wise? once you flash the mod chip, you proceed like if it's a softmod? Sorry, very new to this lol
Watch this video showing how to setup, emunand is a must!

@@fixingmoddingbuilding thanks!!
Hello 👋🏽, have you tried to reball a switch emmc? If so do you have a video or guide for that?
I have only practices on dead switches.
I have the equipment and a few blue screen switches but don't have the time to do it.
So technically no, I haven't done it 😁
14:36 how did you set the multimeter?
Diode Testing Mode
@@leonxndr7576does it matter where the red and black cables are plugged inv
@@ch33zelouiz yes, black to GND on the board and red to the test point!
Great video. What soldering iron do you use? Thanks
A cheap, variable temp one I bought off amazon years back so don't have any links
Id recommend getting a ts100 or a pinecil 64 or some other of that sort. Weller and hakko are also good. Also make sure your tip is tinned! thats the number one mistake.
@@bencooler2003do you have links to this?
hey! is docking mode still function after install this mod chips?
Yes, everything continues to work as normal.
Mine didn't comw with the nand adapter ... Is it ok not to install it ? Or should I buy it separately
Are you sure it's for the oled?
Hello, i need help to understand why he tin the chip at 10:38 is it just in to make sure it is not moving or there is other reason
The caps need connecting to the cable
what tools do you use? what was the chip name? Your video seems one that is possible to follow, actually.
Search AliExpress for RP2040 for the chip, if you go through a lot of my recent videos it will show you what tools I am using, bought a lot of new items recently.
Hi, my modchip holds the blue light for a few seconds and then blinks yellow twice. What did I do wrong?
Check solder joints
does it matter what wire I use? If so, any recommendations?
nvm i see 30 awg
Does anyone know what does that green wire is called?
Hi there Great work btw
I have a problem with the same picofly model
It flash blue then stop
Then flash yellow 1 short 1 long
Can you help me with that?
Check software installed, check all solder points
Btw it said cmd is not connected
When I use the multimeter it didn't gave me 0.5v or 0.8v @@fixingmoddingbuilding
Is it possible to dm you and send you some pics ?
Which chip is better to buy, like the one in the video or from hwfly, I'm from China and I have the same price, which is better and easier to connect?
This is the only oled I've installed and will be the last
H,i do i have to use 30 AWG wire or is 28 AWG Wire fine aswell?
I think either should be fine
@@fixingmoddingbuilding Thank you for the quick answer 😁
Hello , I installed the mod chip, everything seems correct, but I am getting the Failed to init emmc error, what could be the reason?
There's not much to it so You need to check the solder joints, also check the chip has the software installed on it and your sd card has the correct files to boot.
when i power it on it is blue and after green yellow flashing 4 times no image,,what can be the problem i inspect all the solder joints manny times they look okey the pico if with software downloaded and instaled from your other video what can be the problem?
It has got to be a solder joint? Could be the part is not pushed down enough behind the nand?
After 2-3 months after i modded my switch, it stopped booting into hekate and booted into OFW, the mod chip flashes 1 long yellow flash, and 1 short yellow flash. Is there anything that can cause this? I do not have autoboot on
Would need to check your solder points first
Great video, I do have an issue though. It turns blue then flashes short then long while yellow. The github said that the CMD isn't connected but I don't know what that meant any help would be nice thank you.
Same problem CMD not connected
Oled and Picofly rp2040, hekate. Emu side all running ok and standard side too.
Can I update the switch firmware to play game cartridges on the stock boot side online ? Or never? Or a special method?
Can update both sides on ofw on emunand can be connected to the internet so can update officially
I make same thing but the Nintendo switch OLED startup on OFW directly like no picofly … idea ? Thanks
Check the fw is installed on the chip, check solder points, check the diode readings on the part that slides under the nand.
@@fixingmoddingbuilding it’s same firmware of v2 and lite ? I read on the band 8v or 5v , that’s a lot man 👍🏻
@@fixingmoddingbuilding I good a solution : bad soldering on 3v3 now it’s good thanks
I’m sorry to ask but no matter how I slide the D0 chip in, I can only get a highest reading of .032V. Any tips or suggestions on what I should do?
Either it's not lined up right, it's not being pushed in and making contact or it could be faulty, heard this can happen
I often wondered what this song was that I played like 15 years ago... didn't expect to find it here...........................
Thanks man ! with your tuturial i do the job ! , but now i have a problem , have you ever had a switch oled that before the logo put the fan 100% ?
the temperature it´s good but the fan always 100% !
No sorry only done one oled and won't be doing another! Maybe check no little chips have been knocked off, there used to be one on the v1 that regulated when it turned on by the connector on the motherboard.
installed the same modchip, but its blinks Blue, Yellow,Yellow And boots to OFW, Any idea?
Probably a bad solder point, just need to go back over everything
When i try turn on the chip show me error *= CMD not connected. The CMD Is the point when you use the engraving pen?
Check with a multimeter in diode mode first. At least with me, I need to reflow my dat0 since it’s not 500-900
mine wont boot the light goes blue-green green - green green - and it stops, but i can hear the switch working. do you know what is the problem? the screen is black.
If you can hear the switch working, must be something to do with the screen or the screen connector?
Did this but I power on and switch is making small buzzing noise 😔
Check your solder, if no joy reset and test without.
Is there a way to reset the modchip. It wont boot since the new update
Maybe pressing one of the buttons on the chip would work?
Hi , i installed the chip and two days after the chip stop running software, how to reset the chip without openning the console ?
I think it will need to be opened to be able to plug the chip into a pc
@@fixingmoddingbuilding hey can you explain what problem he has, why is it possible that the chip stops running, does it happen often?
what happened @boban8413 ?
