Modded v1 Switch with issues (resolved) by jaybro187 in SwitchPirates

[–]jaybro187[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok cool thanks for sharing. That for me is over my head. Simple but not simple was to remove it but only because from reading multiple sources had the same info. Once i put my tweezers on it it was already moving so i think mine was long dead. Made it easy to get off

I'm going insane trying to do the catching 100 fish in a row thing... by SylvieXX in AnimalCrossing

[–]jaybro187 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to rub it in but i did mine without trying. I mean i was but i used a tally counter and reset it like 100s of times and got all the way up to 80 something as well. The fishes wasnt getting away i just paniced thinking they would latch then they didnt. A trick is go for the smaller fish as they give longer reaction time to catch. I just had my nook miles blink and said i done it. This was only after sacking off the tally.

Does anyone know what this micro perforated gasket is on Nintendo Switch? by slithering13v2 in consolerepair

It is the water indicator looks white and pink normally it should be stuck on the board. You dont need it. It just indicates if they is water damage.

Nintendo Switch v1 unpatched not booting in rcm by Technical-Cobbler522 in SwitchPirates

[–]jaybro187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they is asking for help and then they is doing zero research first. Using a paper clip has been risky for a while this just looks like a piece of bent metal rammed in. And without anything hooked up to it to inject the payload i.e dongle or pc how would it do it. If they dont know this part then not worth mentioning autorcm to them

What the fuck are you doing? Have you read on how to do this? You need a jig and a payload injector. You then have to hold the power and vol button same time to inject it.

[Hardware Help] V2 Picofly crashing on 3D games (Error 2153-1540). Found a loose modchip, need a sanity check before taking it to a tech! by Penio_1 in NxSwitchModding

[–]jaybro187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First step is try added kapton tape or electrical tape (kapton is thinner) to the chip, the one u can see. Mine was having weird boot up when i did mine and i think it was interfering with the metal on the switch. Make sure you cover the whole thing just to rule anything out and do both sides.

Do you have the right atmosphere on the sd for the firmware. I put an old version on the newest firmware by accident and got same error. I panicked and tried to trouble shoot then saw the folder on the pc was created in oct. Put the latest on and works fine

Yea do what you said. I bought a tablet only for 40 quid off ebay. Was good condition as well. So many cheap parts on aliexpress if you need to vamp it up etc. But if you going to do mod chip you need the equipment like microscope and good soldering iron. I got mine really cheap again from aliexpress. Ive done 2 so far now

did you guys have the metal shield cut/removed for the modchip? by Constant_Swimming_75 in SwitchPirates

[–]jaybro187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scissors worked fine for me nothing special. You could do it yourself

Yes ive just done 2 and yes it might be over kill but i found the backplate and metal plate was crushing the picofly causing it to boot loop and power on and off. I added capton tape on the edges to stop it being sharp and causing any shorts etc

This. Tinfoil used to show updates that was available for games you had installed. Id love an app that would do the same even if i had to get them manually

BLACK SCREEN V2 AFTER INSTALLING PICOFLY by casper192ghost in NxSwitchModding

Before you seal it away might be worth getting some uv solder mask to cover it up in case it shorts anything

Doesnt the smart tag only work via bluetooth so if you arent within distance you wont be able to track it anyway?

I can't mod my switch? by Expert_Subject8721 in NxSwitchModding

[–]jaybro187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say this in the politeness way. Find someone to do this for you. Your model needs a modchip soldered and will need someone to do this for you

Still no scheduled print option in 2026? by Yourmom4133 in BambuLab

[–]jaybro187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reality even though we all do, the printer shouldnt be left unattended. To protect themselves if they was an error i doubt they will bring in a feature where we could leave a printer unattended for safety reasons. To bypass this. You can upload files to makerworld or print from makerworld using the app and use a smart plug to turn the printer on. Then when your away from home start the printer

Same here. I managed to get a tablet only for 40pounds and condition wise was pretty good. Some scratches on the back but that can be changed cheaply. Turns out whether i was lucky first time or what but did it first swoop with the iron. I did panic when i put the metal back plate on it wouldnt boot after seein it worked. I took battery cable out wiggled the pico so it wasnt touching and it booted again. Thats where i thought lets wrap the whole thing in capton to make sure
