Hey sorry for the dumb questions but i want to double check everything, i am right in assuming that if i install this mod chip it will just coldboot into hetake.

coldboot to the preloader which can load your payload from SD card (hekate, for example)

ahh ok ty for explaining.

Just a quick one... I managed to find a place where the chip sits low enough so it doesn't bulge the case out...

I cut the top half of the ram shield off, left the APU side.
Took off the side rail the ram shield clips down onto. This leaves just enough space for the IC on the bottom of the Picofly to sit in between the group of Switch IC's in that area.

I then insulated the bottom of the Picofly PCB with a double layer of kapton tape.

The top part of the shield was cut away and kapton tape placed over to hold wiring and chip in place - and to insulate any top casing from coming into contact with the chip...

Just in case you need USB one day.
Up to you if you want to remove, but hey...

I reinstalled Pikofly taking inspiration from this person's idea. I cut off the shield near the RAM and found that Pikofly sinks slightly deeper! However, as a result of my own attempt, it protruded about 1mm beyond the outer metal plate. But when I tightened the final back cover, I didn't notice any issues due to the cover originally being warped. The perfect amount of space felt like it was waiting for Pikofly, lol.

Before and after

I purchased both of these flex cables to install on Nintendo Switch V2 and Lite. After doing a little more research, it seams like picture #2 will fit on all (V2, Lite and OLED)...is this correct? Thanks.
What will picture #1 fit on?

There is some videos with people installing picofly on Switch Lite with V2 Flex without any problem.

That is the reason I ordered V2 Flex for my Lite project (and V2 Flex is cheaper than Lite).

Guys I've installed the rp2040zero flashed it with the fw2.5+unlock.uf2 gives red when pushing the firmware than restarts.I don't know if it's ok.
I've installed all the points to the oled and the rp2040 with 2x 32oms resistor and 1x50oms resisotor.
I'm using the v2 cpu flex.
I get directrly in to official stock firmware.
The rp2040 goes in to blue,white than yellow/orange.

Can someone tell what to do?

That kinda tells us how huge margins they have on these. $15 would be a no brainer.

YELLOW = eMMC write failure, check D0 / unsupported eMMC
check ur Dat0 point

I have bought RP2040-zero from aliexpress.
Using arduino the sn is 321061E635B230E3.
Does it mean i cant use the fw?

You need to wait for v2.6

it needs some testing, approximately several days

Somehow I missed that, I also ordered from Aliexpress. Hasn't arrived yet.

Is there a list of SN that works/doesn't work and why is that?

Just fixed the d0.
now I get blue ,toruise(cyan) blackscreen.

Just checked the v2 flex has 2 mosfets,and the soldering is good.

CYAN = no reaction to glitch, check mosfet wire

fixed the pin on the flex now it's showing blue and than green but nothing on the screen?

Not SN of NSWs, SNs of PZeros (correct?). I'm now wondering the same.
