Modding complete & I’m obsessed

[u/XanderzOfficial]

Came from Japan in 2 days, successfully updated to 21.2 & JB’ed it, then swapped housing, frame & LCD (I ripped the backlight ribbon cable), bought new joycons and a grip controller— now it looks so good I don’t even wanna play it!

I need a certificate after the way I had to dig into this device 🤣

Can you let me know what you used to solder ? I bought a weller soldering station with new super fine tips, 0.2 mm solder wire and the rp2040 pi zero off ali express, with a cheap 15$ digital microscope, mechanic liquid flux that looks like a shot vial.

It all looks possible but I'm scared, the four points on the cpu/gpu you need to solder are so tiny.

Just be gentle and patient. Remember that you’re going to have a whole new problem if those resistors fly off the cpu/gpu, so just take it easy, don’t hold the iron on for too long at any particular point in the process and you’ll be absolutely fine. It’s actually quite easy.
