Thanks... It seems it's a faulty bms because the grey wire from batt marks 0 volt if I measure it with a multimeter...Battery fuel guage chip.

I already knew this chip was a POS once my console refused to turn on, and I did a ton of consoles with hwfly chip with little to no issues. People started questioning my soldering ability as if it was my fault. I have a stack of them and I'm hesitant to use them on any new switches. I already had one that gave me a nightmare.This is likely redundant at this point with the shops going down but wanted to post my experience.
I sent two switches to an installer one with a HW chip and one with the instinct nx chip.
The guy has done many HW installs before but this was his first instinct nx.
Upon soldering the chip the device was a brick and wouldn't turn on. he desoldered everything to resolder it with wires (Thinking it could be the signal interference issue although discovered since that error exhibits different symptoms) and in the process noticed that two pins on the chip were bridged

TLDR If your device doesn't turn on after soldering the chip double-check the pins on the chip itself.
He said that the quality of the instinct nx chip was noticeably worse than any of the HWFLY chips he has done.
What version of the HWFLY is compatible with the adapter that doesn't require reflow/reball?I already knew this chip was a POS once my console refused to turn on, and I did a ton of consoles with hwfly chip with little to no issues.

If you mean the dat0 you can use any adapter but make sure it doesn't short.What version of the HWFLY is compatible with the adapter that doesn't require reflow/reball?

Its the same adapter that connects to dat0 whether you reflow or not. The only difference in these adapters is how they are anchored but other than that they are much the same.I saw a video stating that it is now not recommended to reball when installing the chip. In the same video they said that there are new dat0 adapters that you anchor using solder with no need of using a hot air station. Supposedly the recall was causing solder joints to crack and it was bricking systems.
How can I tell that I am using the correct adapter that doesn't need to hot air station?

They stopped making the old ones that had issues. You're fine choosing whatever adapter you're comfortable installing.What changed in how the adapters are anchored?
Reball and Reflow are two different techniques, I imagine here you were refering to the "reflow" one.I saw a video stating that it is now not recommended to reball when installing the chip.

ANd the guy in the console reflection . lolI absolutely recognise those there fingernails in the video
This is the only one that is still available for purchase. Keep us posted on the install!I just got this instinct v6 set from aliexpress for about 30 dollars.
I noticed the soldermask is black and not white.
Does anyone have a review for it?
Cheers.

That looks very very good. Am iI correct by saying you only needed 2 flying wires? Which size have you used for them?Got one of these installed on my new TotK switch
I have two Zelda editions here. Both have sk-hynix nands.Nice work, which NAND brand you got on this new edition of Zelda?
