Hacking Hardware Picofly - a HWFLY switch modchip

[RecklessElectronics]

why?

iPhones often flex enough for a very small pad on the board to rip from it's lead which causes the phone to fail. If you cant reattach the lead then dead bug soldering can make it work again by using the location that the ripped lead went to begin with.

I love how the hardware community just popped up after this firmware was made

Hardware these days is NOTHING without the software

Seemed Xiao arrives and bang on. I think its better taking off the Red power LED to save extra power before closing up.

FOR REFERENCE:
Seeed xiao height w/o port is 3,10mm
rp2040-zero w/o port&buttons is 2.75mm

I'm just waiting for someone to make a modchip that fits in the cartridge x3

Type C is too far away in my opinion, shield is OK but not as primary GND point. Why don't use the APU GND point, as on Dee87 scheme?

Too difficult to fix

Confirm working on oled. Sorry for the install, the only one console I had available was installed with hwfly 4.1. Replaced lower flex and leaved upper flex only for not removing the board and do it faster.
The quality seems to be the same like oled V6 (same factory maybe?)
It has old firmware (hekate no sd screen)
Works as fast as rp2040 zero, instantly in my case.

How much is the price? Around $10?

For the usual (rp2040zero + mosfet + 3x470 + wire 0.1mm) i only spent like $5.

Dat0 pcb is good? Try to update fw

Noob here! Im gathering stuff for picofly mod my switch oled. I have RP2040, and the V2 adapter. Do I need DAT0 adapter also? Is there any video or diagram?

It's highly recommended you get the adapter with 4 points.

With an OLED, you're either looking at removing the eMMC, reballing, placing your DAT0 point and then floating/resoldering the eMMC chip to the board, or using the DAT0 adapter.

the firmware perform a complete test of eMMC read on every boot. Without good DAT0 you get yellow LED

One other note, you appear to only have 4.7 ohm resistors on your board (labeled 4R70) You require (47R0) or (470) coded resistors which will be 47 Ohms

i think they use your fw, however the dat0 pcb should be good

I have put the update.bin on my sdcard, there is no option in Hekate to update it?

Run the toolbox from the Hekate payload menu

And you're only doing it to get the data back, mostly, correct?

Hey guys, i have a Nintendo Switch Lite. So I bought rp2040-one and adapter lite CPU.
I bridged pin 3 and 4 in adapter lite that's right? I have a question, soldering only point SP1 or SP1 and SP2?

i have only wire RJ45, this is small.. Orange wire connect to pinout 15 Rp2040?
I don't have 47 Ohm today, so buy tomorrow

Yes, so long as you aren't using other orange, the orange that you have connected on pin 3/4 of the flex should go to the pin15 on the RP2040-One
