    this is an hwfly rp2040 based clone, similar to the picofly modchips. this install is by far the easiest out of all chips and all switches because all necessary points come through the nand header. oleds and lites are WAY harder, do not underestimate the switch.

    Those are chips, those are SMD Capacitors. You should have used a little more flux on when soldering to the capacitors. It would have made it a little easier instead of trying to drag the solder to the pad. Also, your method can create a cold solder joint. Please clean your tip regularly. I would also get a small file and file down those edges after you cut them to give them a smooth finish. Double stick tape would have been easier to use than all of that Kapton tape you put down. Also, you would want to dissipate that heat so putting tape on top in my humble opinion defeats this purpose.

      Before cutting try routing that part thru the fan opening and laying it on top of the shield (with some protection from shorts in between them ofc - tape etc.) Looks like the black flex cable is far out enough to clear the opening and the indentation in the shield is just the right shape too.

      ​@@kawasaki_vt4225 this is the exact one i used and it's as easy to apply as it gets since you literally work with a needle. It does take it's time to cure, around 10 hours in room temperature, but you save yourself the hassle of accidentally burning the cpu/gpu and it becomes really hard after curing. I left mine curing for 24h since i time and i didn't want to rush it. For the small surface as the connection between the mod chip and the cpu/gpu is, it really shouldn't move a bit unless you smash your Switch all over the place. But in that case something else would break on the Switch before the contact that is very well protected... i hope, if you use this, that it will provide a very good and safe solution as it did to me...
