Thumbs up for troubleshooting help at the end. Makes me even more confident to try this out on my own. A bunch of my friends have OLED switch, i have 1 in box still and have been waiting for a good mod install guide. I also like how you provide guidance for the micro soldering. I was iffy on it, but what you showed makes it seem doable. Careful work, but doable with enough care and attention. Thank you!!!
to anyone wondering the Dat0 has given me a 0.419 at the lowest and it still works. ive done about 5 switches oled switches and they worked fine. make sure to use quality wire for dat0.
I've switched the faceplate on my switch before, so I figured this would be just as easy.... yeahhhhh I don't trust myself with a soldering gun quite yet! Wonderful tutorial though!
I really wish this tutorial would have dropped sooner it’s great, unfortunately my install went bad a few days ago. I broke the RST pad and had to connect from the via near it and the switch just doesn’t boot no more
The via near it might no be the same line. You might wanna scrap the pcb a little near the RST pad to see if you can hook it to the trace that lead to the RST pad...
Thank you very much for this great presentation on how to install this mod kit. I successfully installed my mod kit on the OLED with my novice skills. Next up lite 🤣😅
I love your work and the music 😆 Unfortunately I'm not sure if I'm skilled enough to do this but hopefully if i will in the future u will using this guide
Thanks for your video, it is well explained and the image is clear. I've done two OLEDs thanks to you, but on both I had no reading on B point (OL on diode mode) but after checking and doing the soldering again still no value, I gave it a shot and it worked just fine. For the second switch I had 480mV on the DAT0, i tried reseating it several times but best i could get was 495mV... I tried it and altrough the training was a longer than the first it works like a charm.
Wow that is actually more complicated than I thought. I was thinking of selling my v1 switch and buying an oled and modding it myself, but maybe the prettier screen by itself isn't worth it 😅
I thought the same thing ha! *see's this v6 chip* hmm what is it? *researches* cool, sounds good, I'll check a vid how to get it working. *Watches this vid* sweet jesus, nevermind. Thanks for the vid though! Will def help alot of people :D
@numba2dad yes and it's not easy. First few switches I would use the flex cables provided by manufacturer of mod chip. I decided to just run leads from one end to the other end as this is easier. It's honestly not that hard now though. Still I run into trouble shoot issues at times. 2 oleds 3 lites and 2 switch dead from attempted mod and now I can confidently do it with out messing up. It's definitely not easy though. Learn how to micro solder and get a microscope camera for this.
thanks. manage to did my first oled using ur video. i screwed up bridging the sp1/sp2. the console doesnt turn on at all. i thought i was a goner. fortunately i read through some post on gbatemp and found out the issue was the bridging.
@@sthetixofficial I've done two OLEDs now with the same multimeter and the first one did get 2.9 while the second read nothing just for that pad haha, a bit weird but hey they both work!
I remember soldering a modchip in my PS1 back in the day, it was much, MUCH easier because the components were much bigger. These solder spots look so tiny I know I wouldn't be able to do it myself.
A heads up to not put the mod chip too close to the Tegras cooler, if you do or have to too much pressure the modchip won't work and your switch won't boot.
I was excited to install this because FPCB kit made things much easier. What's the percentage of failure/interference issue happening? If it's less than 100% I'd rather go with FPCB :)
@@sthetixofficial Beautiful, thank you! I don't have much soldering experience but I did mod a switch lite two years ago on not so ideal equipment and it went well. This time I got good equipment and am ready to mod the oled. I'm getting two new zelda oleds and will be doing the mod on both. I'm very excited to do this. I have watched several videos many times. I have watched this one about 4 times now, gives me a lot of confidence the more I watch, I basically know the procedure so well by now that I could do it blindfolded (figuratively speaking ofc haha). Keep doing what you're doing, this video is pure gold!
The same thing happened to me but I had protected the 3.3v line with a UV mask, I was charging the console and after 15 minutes the console no longer wanted to turn on, but in my case it was a picofly, the picofly was replaced and it came back to life. console, the short was on the 3.3v line
i used something like this glidegear.net/products/glide-gear-oh100-professional-metal-overhead-table-top-mount-stand-studio-video-camera-top-down-platform and a microscope that can record
Does the V6 ever need to be reset, and run the learning process again? I know in an older revision you installed a magnetic reed switch in order to reset the chip without disassembling the console. I successfully installed a V6 a few weeks ago using your previous video guide.
I have a question that I haven't been able to find an answer for: do these modchips work with Hong-Kong versions of Switches? I would think yes, but I know the input voltage is slightly different, so I wonder if that makes enough of a difference component-wise. Thank you if you can help answer my question!
Thanks for all the guides, I really appreciate the content. May I ask since you stopped doing the reflow on the MMC how is the return rate of Oled with just the pressing the DAT0 adapter method? I had to rework one I did like a month ago.
Thanks legend as if ur video come out 2 week ago i will have an idea with my D point, it give me a trouble to find what is not working even though i got the right value using multimeter later on find out the solder from the flex issue use jump wire straight to the chip problem sove
hey there, I tried to install mine last night and I'm getting an led code that I can't seem to find anywhere. 2 short red blinks, 3 short green blinks, a short white blink, 2 purple blinks, and then the chip flashes as if it's training, then turns off and does nothing. nothing happens on the screen during or after this process either. my solder joints are kind of jank so later today I'll probably try and redo them or use the flex cable instead, but I figured I'd ask. thank you for the vid! btw, I see you didn't solder anything to the ground pad, is that necessary or is the ground pad not needed?
Check your soldering again / check the chip if there are some out of place components. Ground pad is not necessary, just follow my guide and everything will be OK
No ground point? Maybe I missed it. The previous chips would have the ground routed usually to the other side of the caps we pull the 3.3v from. Are we getting ground from sp1 and sp2 connections instead?
Disculpa, estuve buscando en tu pagina los diagramas de este instinct v6 Ya que lo instalare en mi oled siguiendo tu video Pero encontre de varios mas Pero no del instinct v6 Mi pregunta es... Subiras alguno? O ya si ya lo subiste donde lo encuentro? O no subiras diagrama de este? Por favor, el video es incrible Pero un diagrama tambien me ayudaria mucho ya que experto no soy Si pudieras te lo agradecería muchismo.
@@sthetixofficialFinally, I got the Instinct-nx but with a black board. And I see that it has two B points, one at each end. Do you know which one can be used?
Incredible good content! God of Modchips on it's way 😍 So you would say to grab a hwfly chip over a instinct-NX at the moment, right? After this video watching a real professional soldering this chip I have to say that the instinct-NX looks really promising! Not like some I watched 🤦
@@sthetixofficial then I just misunderstood 😂 So I can go with instinct-NX? Your video is showing a really good new alternative to hwfly and I think they thought allot about the software/firmware!
yes you can buy either the hwfly or the instinct-nx. just dont buy the DIY style pico, it is dangerous to use and a lot of people have bricked their console because of it.
@@sthetixofficial wasn't my intention to do that! Pico was never on my list (even or because it's too cheap!) Before instinct-NX I always thought: go with hwfly! It's so long on the market and got better and better!
@@SwitchBros. True, but this v6 instinct-NX is really fast but again at the end of the day i dont think waiting for a second or two turning on the console will kill you lol
Thanks for this... Could you just add additionally if it is possible to update OFW after mod is already installed... currently we are on 16.0.2, but if new one comes :) Thanks and keep it up...
Hello, great video. Thank you for this. I have a question, first time installed the chip, booting light goes green, then goes purple 3+2 times and then white 10 times and goes off. I need to re-attach the battery cable to start again. Also doesn't boot to OFW. What it can be?
@@sthetixofficial i appreciate that u take the time to answer my question, but i have another question if i want to play online, can i use "ofw" to play online ? Thanks again for the anwers.
I get high readings on my D point. I tested the D point on a new unused mod chip (connected to nothing) and I still get high readings. Are these mod chips just bad? Can’t get them to work on OLED switches I’m getting some flashing colors but just solid white light then boots to OFW maybe the system needs to be charged? Not sure
@@sthetixofficial thankyou. I started getting a good reading but mod chip still acting weird. I replaced the chip (I probably ruined it) everything going smooth now
@@sthetixofficial thank you. one more question. i scratched the clk point with a needle. from the looks it looks like the pattern is damaged. when i check with multimeter at the end of the clk point(circle) i get the correct reading(0.788). if the pattern is damaged, will i still get the correct diode reading from the end of the clk point?
that point is a bridge between the cpu and the emmc. if you break it, the multimeter will still showing a value but it will be a false one. because you might be reading from one side only
Hello Sthetix. I love your videos keep the great. Btw I am modding a Switch oled with instinct nx v6 and it blinks purple then stable white for some seconds and then boot OFW. I didnt find the led colors for it, do you have any idea?
Firstly thank you for this great video! I got issue. When I try to open OFW I’m getting purple screen, when I try to sd partition I’m gettin this error “failed to init emmc! “ What should I do? Thank you
I used the FPCB, can't boot to OFW. At first I was getting blank screen after the Nintendo logo when trying to boot to OFW. It boots CFW fine. I tried to boot while holding + and - button and now it tries to boot with a squares spinning in a circular way with a line like it's loading but it just loads back to Hekate. Should I remove the FPCB and just use wires? If I do that, will I be able to load into OFW or do I have to rebuild Boot0?
Hi did my 1st V2 switch with a black oled V6 chip, I didn't have the emmc clip so I used wires. All points measured in the correct range...when I turned on the switch it pulses yellow for a minute then purple for 30 sec the 3 red then boot to the ofw when i turned off the switch it does the same pulse sequence after powering down. I tried the C and A point on both the emmc chip and the motherboard according to your diagram and it still does the same pulsing sequence. Can you tell me if there's anything else I'm might be missing?
Hi, really good guide, I've installed my mod chip un a OLED switch and everything seems to be fine (all the solder points measure between 600 and 860, but I'm getting 1 blues flash then 2 yellow flashes followed by 2 more yellow flashes after some seconds, according to the Github repository that means that the rst is having issues, when I put the multimeter it mesures about 1.2v, what can it be? I'm thinking maybe it's the cable I solded is too thick but i'm not sure, also the console is not booting to the OF after the error codes, any help would be appreciated!
Hello Sthetix Sir Huge fan of yours ❤. Lots of love from Pakistan. Admire your hard work for us. Sir i would like to know that this v6 instinct chip can be used for lite, v2 and oled? I'm planning to buy an oled or V2 and mod with this chip. Please guide me on this Thank you again for your videos we appreciate you in highest regard. Ps. I don't know your real name that's why i used sthetix sir 😊
Yes, it work on the OLED, Lite and V2. the installationi is the same as the previous v4 you can watch the video on odysee.com/@sthetixofficial:9 FYI, i haven't made a V6 guide on Lite and V2 but the installation points are similar to the V4
Strange, I was getting the infinite purple and then red and boot to ofw. I opened up the back to look at the chip and without touching anything, I tried booting it up and it booted fine to cfw... I wonder what happened? Loose wiring? They all felt tight
Hi, Thank a lot for the video! Yesterday i installed a picofly v6 and all worked fine. Today I have problems: hekate starts with the error message: Missing LP0 (sleep) lib/ and when I try to start in OFW, I get a blue screen. Can you give me a tip on where I should start troubleshooting?
Hi. I accidentally updated my moded oled with hwflyv6. Updated on ofw with 17.0.0. Now my board flashes quick whites then boots on ofw. Does it mean my atmosphere is incompatible with the switch ofw version? You should make a tutorial about the update for modding community. Thanks!
