Hi, i followed this tutorial but ended up switch not booting. I removed all wires and mod chip but still it is not booting up. Do you have idea how to fix?
@@sthetixofficial I did It but when I put on my console and after training process, v6s have led light Blue and doesn't open instinct page but NORMAL page. I have checked all value in diode mode and was ok. What's wrong?
Just did your kamikaze method for the first time. Things are looking good so far. I used as an reper to find the pot, the little dots that are on the PCB instead of really measuring it.
I understand your concerns but it just isn't going to happen. I'd suggest buying a premodded switch with picofly. Barely more than a used switch. I hope in years to come I will have to eat mt words, but it just won't happen.
@@whitak3r I was thinking that since its almost EOL for the switch since S2 is just around the corner, theres a bigger incentive for the hackers to look for exploits, kinda like what TheFlow did during the EOL for Vita. He kept the exploit to himself and only release it after support for Vita was dropped. To be fair, a modded OLED in the market here costs about 33% more than retail. So, maybe that makes sense...
we can all wish, but really it will never happen, and if im being honest this hardware “vulnerability” to me isnt really a vulnerability, it is literally an external chip forcing the hardware into submission by writing to the emmc and pulsing the soc, now it is still literally a vulnerability, but what I would consider a real vulnerability is the original v1 consoles problem.

Hi Sthetix you are awesome, would you recommend this method over the Dat0 Adapter? I mean, if you get someone with enough experience to ensure it turns out well, would it be better than the adapter? Love your videos
@sthetixofficial Are the bugs in the updating part or the reset part?Or everything cause I just got somebody.I know upgrade my modchip to a v6s And solder the wires to be able to use the USB.Port like you did in this video if so can I upgrade via payload and sd card also how do I check what firmware is on the chip?
can you give me clarification as to the bugs that happen when you setup for the usb when i got my switch back it would fail to glitch and would go on the blitz when i connected my charger to it i discovered that it would eventualy stablize but the minute i connected the charger it would fail to glitch please let me know if these are the bugs you were referring to thanks
Hello! not sure if you're around to answer questions, but all my diode measurements are correct and solder joints look okay, FPC is a little rough but measurements seem okay. I'm getting a solid white light on my V6s (other colors show up and go away quickly). White light stays on for like 10 seconds and goes off. disconnecting the cpu cable also doesn't boot the switch. I'm getting a black screen either way.
@@sthetixofficial that will be very much appreciated, thank you so much. Is it the same instinct chip with the emmc cable and the v1 cpu cable or something else ?
Great video again, many thanks. I have this chip coming in the post if I solder it just like the video how would I reset the chip via USB if it ever needs it. Same question for the update via USB process.
If you connect the D+, D- and the Vbus, you just turn the console off, connect the console to your computer and do the Putty procedure. Please watch my Putty guide.
NOOB QUESTION: Is installing the Instinct NX V6S just like installing the V6? I would like to install it using the dat0 adapter method but not sure which video to follow! Thanks in advance :)
@@sthetixofficial Hmm I don't think you can melt anything at 200c on the hot temp station. Maybe 350c up and airflow to 30-40%, what do you think? Soldering gun will melt solder at 200c but not sure the air station will be good that low. What exactly do you have it set at for ChipQuick solder paste 63/37.
I rarely comment on things, maybe I've never even left a comment on youtube... I've done about 20 "kamikaze" mods so far (and hundreds of mods in total, from the first modchips to this day), but I wanted to share one of my thoughts with you, because I greatly appreciate and respect your work. I've thought about it, and I'm interested in your opinion on that, what do you think about the process being done with a cnc laser instead of a grinding pen. In that way, the risk would be reduced and the process itself would be quicker and look cleaner? I would also like to get in touch with you, because we mostly think alike, but you are always one step ahead of me 😂🤣 Anyway, great video and thank you so much for posting this kind of content. I'm glad we have people like you in the community!
I think you can use a CNC laser machine. I do have a laser fiber machine too, but I haven't figured out the correct parameter. you can contact me anytime via twitter / discord.
Would 30 awg wire work for the kamikaze point or is that too bulky? I used the 30 awg for xboxes i feel like i may need 36 but someone people said it needed 30
Just a warning when soldering the USB pass through, it’s very easy to bridge the VBUS capacitor to the one next to it and extremely difficult to unbridge because of the tight gap… currently waiting on a replacement so my switch can charge again :(
If you went too far on the D pad and broke the via, is it possible to recover the board by removing and reballing the emmc with a breakout board inbetween? Then make a jumper wire from the trace (reenforced with solder mask, of course), directly to the emmc?
Hi, very good video and explained in the most simple way. Just one question, If I don't have a grinder what tool do you reccomend to expose the B and D points?
@@sthetixofficial ah alright i decided to go with Atten ST-862D it has the possibility to lower the fan speed for example 414c on 10% causing it to blow less air which percent would you put it on? 5-10%? cause i don't want to damage the pad lol
So about this interference when using the FPC cables: How does this manifest on a switch? Blue screen? Hekate exception ? It just doesnt boot? I installed about 6 chips with them, all working fine for weeks. The seventh is a special one: Worked at first, then started to blue screen on boot. Removing the flex, letting it sit for few hours without power brought it back without blue screens. Reinstalled the flex, working again, after a few hours same problem, bluescreen on HOS boot, blackscreen after AMS logo and no boot. Removed the flex again, and it came back. Any idea? I probably just fked up the solder or flex is faulty, isnt it? E: Points were all good, chip was working all the time, eMMC is fine too.
So i'm having trouble sourceing a good tip for my grinder for this. I have a few but they are not gentle enough for this procedure. Done it twice now with ok results but I know it can be better where did you get that .2mm from if you don't mind me asking
Hey there! I have a question here, can i do this mod chip installation with the latest firmware version of switch? 17.0.1. Will there be a problem with the JB? Or some apps? Really much appreciated for the answer.
Well now I want try this method too, let's go buy another OLED hehe By the way... any new reason to not use the FPCB for the point A, 3.3V etc...? Thanks for all clear guides!
Great job! I'm wondering what temp is your solder paste and solder wire? And, just for reference, what temp/airflow do you set your soldering iron for the CPU caps and hot gun for the Dat0?
As always, great and informative videos! One thing I would like to know. What kind of interference causes the flex cables? I wasn't able to find much info about it, just some random posts which looked like the chip causes issues with the Switch (black bars on the screen, fps drops, etc.). On the other hand, I had issues with the chip that was randomly un/able to glitch the booting but after sticking it on the shield and covering it start to work properly.
Using the kamikaze point i have a question, when you got the last layer where is the dat0 point have another contact points beside it or not? From the video when you zoom looks like have more two one of each side!
Hey sthetix, I am modding my oled today with the v6s, but the 3.3v capacitor I'm supposed to wire to says 0v even without the wire, do you know what could be happening?
@sthetixofficial If the DAT0 line were to break by scratching too much, would the console not turn on? Or what kind of damage would it cause to the console? In that case, is there a way to repair that line by connecting the DAT 0 of the NAND to some small remnant of the kamikaze zone? Thanks for the video.
yes your console cannot boot if the DAT0 line broken. You can repair the "bridge" or connection between the emmc and the cpu by removing the CPU and the emmc chip.
I discovered that with firmware 2.0 Instinct NX V6S loads OFW after working in the dock. stations. If the firmware is 1.3, OFW loading occurs less frequently. What is the most current and stable firmware now? When loading OWF led blink: 1) red light flashing 5 times, 2) purple - 1 time 3) blue - 3 times. Why?
Is there any particular reason why you used a different RST point from your last OLED video? I remember when I installed the V6 on my OLED I had some issues with it resetting itself randomly until I redid the RST point and put some tape on it, is that why?
I have the normal V6 chips. I install one on an oled thats fully updated will i need to update the firmware pn the instinct chip via PC? If so is there a place to find the firmware and instructions on how to do so? Thanks
@sthetixofficial A question that I know may seem absurd but I'm sure you know something. Can the kamikaze method be performed on a Mariko v2 or a v1? I know it doesn't make sense to do it but the point is in the same place and there are the same resistors nearby (A)? it's worth knowing since it's more common to find normal boards to learn. Thanks
why do we need to do the kamikaze on other consoles while their solder point is exposed. and each motherboard has different layouts, so it doesnt make any sense at all
Hello, which speed should I choose from 1-5, would I choose between 1-2? Does it take a long time to drill through layer 2? I would like to try this giant because the dat0 adapters are simply disgusting
If I somehow messed the unexposed rst trace, will it be fine since there are other exposed rst points? I want to use that unexposed rst point to be a practice dummy before doing the clk point, since it'll be my first time modding oled
I would like to see an alternative clk point, I don't like that point, let's see if you can find an alternative without having to raise the cpu or emmc. I know you can do it
you need to remove the CPU cover to install the CPU flex cable. And at the same time you need to scratch that D point - as there is no other alternatives. please check the board scans if you want.
hi boss, I did all the installation well, all the contacts are perfect even when checking the tester in diode mode, but always with the OLEDs, every time the chip works 10 times and 1 time it doesn't, it produces a white LED with the instinc v6 or v6s and then the original system starts. always the problem whether it's samsung memories or worse with skhynixm, 10 times the mod starts and 1 time it doesn't, then subsequently like this, 6 times or 20 times yes and 1 no, it goes randomly, and the connections are perfect, I always try changing chips between instinc 6vs, 6v and rp2040 can help me plz, and i do kamikaze
I have a picofly v6s do i need to do the kamikaze if my dat0 flex cable isnt getting a connection even when i think its fully lined up? Whats the alternative?
@@sthetixofficial last question for you, i bought v6s chips for my oled. Will they work for any oled? I believe my switch motherboard looks different from yours in the linked video on the schematic. And i can still do kamikaze on mine?
Im try using this method.. overall after I'm grinding layer by layer my oled turn on normally.. But I'm didn't why my oled didn't turn on after last layer I'm make..i thought it 4th layer.. after connect battery and turn on 3.3v cap didn't have any volt.. could it be fixed?
Sometime happen when chip crash always boot into OFW, we need to reset chip using method taking off the battery and plug in back, is this V6S chip will help to solve the problem reset using USB port?
very sure this problem causing by soldering USB 3 point, if i unsoldering 3 point all work without any problem, i think some step is missing like need to reinstall MTP driver?
I will make another video about this matter soon. BUT in principle, you can use Putty to reset the console. Just plug the console to you computer and do putty. that will reset it
Hello @sthetixofficial I did It but when I put on my console and after training process, v6s have led light Blue and doesn't open instinct page but NORMAL page. I have checked all value in diode mode and was ok. What's wrong?
hey, maybe a little late to the party, but is there maybe a diagram or a video tutorial on how to install the chip normally instead of with the kamikaze method? tutorials on the internet solder different parts while others dont, like the resistor on the dat0, and the vbus. i have no idea which tuorial to follow, or what the difference even is. like also there is a point A that nobody seems to use, whats that for then? is there a way i can find out whats the right way to install this chip without the kamikaze method. i really don't want to drill through the motherboard. but i have no clue what to else to install this chip normally because of the difference in the tutorials. you seem to know what you're doing. is there any way you could help me?
it depends on the chip you are using. you can watch my previous modchip installation video without the kamikaze. I never use Pico so we don't need to alter or add resistor
@@sthetixofficial I have the same chip that you are using in the video. the instinct-nx v6s. so the only thing i still need to figure out is if i have to solder the resistor on the dat0, because i'm using this instead f the kamikaze method. i've seen some tutorials using the v6s chip that do solder the resistor, and others don't. although i have no idea what difference it makes, i don't know what it does or what it is used for, they both seem to work. would it you advise to connect the resistor on the dat0 or advise against it? thanks for the quick response btw, you are awesome and your tutorials and resources are the best!!
@@sthetixofficial it’s not the sd card because I took that out and booted into stock by pressing volume + and - at the same time and I’m still getting that error code at random times on OFW sometimes on the Home Screen sometimes in a game could it be a faulty chip?

I think you better buy it from Amazon or from the Taobao. Most Hakko products in aliexpress are fake.
whats the number wire are you using,, in the video,, and is it a solid core wire ?? or Stranded
stranded wire, ul10064 teflon wire.
Enamel wire can be 36ga.
I cannot find the .2mm bits anywhere. The ones I find are an actual drill bit and not a grinding bit. Any recommendations?

I have the normal V6 chips. I install one on an oled thats fully updated will i need to update the firmware pn the instinct chip via PC? If so is there a place to find the firmware and instructions on how to do so? Thanks
no need to update the v6 chip
Bom vídeo, bem explicado. Mas esse método não tento não, arriscado até demais.
Failed to init sd card error.. samsung evo 512gb.. with OFW switch detect the card...
try using Sandisk cards.
@sthetixofficial A question that I know may seem absurd but I'm sure you know something. Can the kamikaze method be performed on a Mariko v2 or a v1? I know it doesn't make sense to do it but the point is in the same place and there are the same resistors nearby (A)? it's worth knowing since it's more common to find normal boards to learn. Thanks
why do we need to do the kamikaze on other consoles while their solder point is exposed.
and each motherboard has different layouts, so it doesnt make any sense at all
@@sthetixofficial Because it's easier to find a bad switch board that isn't OLED to practice with, is it possible to find it in the same place?
you mean for practice?
you can buy a dead oled board or try using any switch board and sand to the 3rd layer.
Hello, which speed should I choose from 1-5, would I choose between 1-2? Does it take a long time to drill through layer 2? I would like to try this giant because the dat0 adapters are simply disgusting
1 is enough. it took me about 5 - 10 minutes to get to the C point.
If I somehow messed the unexposed rst trace, will it be fine since there are other exposed rst points?
I want to use that unexposed rst point to be a practice dummy before doing the clk point, since it'll be my first time modding oled
Just find a dead multi layer PCB and practice as much as you want.
which solder paste did you use?
the stirri v3 or the amtech nc 3
Ok I got to the no sd card screen. But booting to ofw results in a blue screen? Any fix?? Thanks
try doing the Level1 unbrick guide
El punto B que se usa en esta video, es el mismo que se una en la parte de abajo de la placa?
it is the same.
from the center of the resistor the dat0 is 1 mm right?boss
yes
I would like to see an alternative clk point, I don't like that point, let's see if you can find an alternative without having to raise the cpu or emmc. I know you can do it
you need to remove the CPU cover to install the CPU flex cable. And at the same time you need to scratch that D point - as there is no other alternatives. please check the board scans if you want.
hi boss, I did all the installation well, all the contacts are perfect even when checking the tester in diode mode, but always with the OLEDs, every time the chip works 10 times and 1 time it doesn't, it produces a white LED with the instinc v6 or v6s and then the original system starts.
always the problem whether it's samsung memories or worse with skhynixm, 10 times the mod starts and 1 time it doesn't, then subsequently like this, 6 times or 20 times yes and 1 no, it goes randomly, and the connections are perfect, I always try changing chips between instinc 6vs, 6v and rp2040
can help me plz, and i do kamikaze
check ur soldering quality and micro shorts if they existed. check the sp1 sp2 flex too (the mosfet area).
the V6S doesn't seem to be available from ali anymore. Any news, when it will be available again? Or is a new version planned?
it is on ali.
I have a picofly v6s do i need to do the kamikaze if my dat0 flex cable isnt getting a connection even when i think its fully lined up? Whats the alternative?
kamikaze all the way..
@@sthetixofficial ah thank you for this! Do i need that grinder tool? Or can i slowly scrape with what i have? Dremel or fine point xacto blade, etc
you may want to watch this ua-cam.com/video/8ZNde4MVz54/v-deo.htmlsi=RDPPdlAsGA7hl_Tj
use the ma-ant D1 with 0.2mm head
@@sthetixofficial ah thanks again! You're the man
@@sthetixofficial last question for you, i bought v6s chips for my oled. Will they work for any oled? I believe my switch motherboard looks different from yours in the linked video on the schematic. And i can still do kamikaze on mine?
Nice video! Only 1 question whats the difference between INSTINCT OLED V6 vs V6s?
V6S is the V6 successor it is more advanced
Im try using this method.. overall after I'm grinding layer by layer my oled turn on normally.. But I'm didn't why my oled didn't turn on after last layer I'm make..i thought it 4th layer.. after connect battery and turn on 3.3v cap didn't have any volt.. could it be fixed?
you need to know if you have broken the track.
I believe that is on the 3rd layer?
@@AdrianAndreiRobert I'm repair and make track back..and it work .😀
Possible to make video how to resetting or flashing the V6S chip directly from the console USB port?
Sometime happen when chip crash always boot into OFW, we need to reset chip using method taking off the battery and plug in back, is this V6S chip will help to solve the problem reset using USB port?
I suggest buying the V6S next month as they will have new firmware inside it.
i already soldering it V6S but the problem now i have is MTP not working lolx, did you face same problem?@@sthetixofficial
very sure this problem causing by soldering USB 3 point, if i unsoldering 3 point all work without any problem, i think some step is missing like need to reinstall MTP driver?
Just pressing both volume buttons will boot it into stock firmware? No press of the power button?
power it on, and when you reach the chip logo screen, you need to press both volume buttons.
or, press both volume buttons then press the power button.
@@sthetixofficial thank you
I was wondering why you used a grinder to expose the B point track, unlike in your V6 OLED video where you used the B point which is already exposed?
because in this video, i did not remove the board from the chassis and the alternative B point is at the top of the board
Como es el proceso de resetear o flasheo del chip via usb? No encuentro informacion sobre esa nueva funciones del chip v6s
I will make another video about this matter soon.
BUT in principle, you can use Putty to reset the console. Just plug the console to you computer and do putty. that will reset it
can you post a link to the grinding pen used?
it is the Ma-Ant D1
Please tell me why the chip stops working when installed in the docking station?
it does not.
may i know what will happen if over grinded? lost the C point, and reached or over grinded 4th layer ?
then you need to manually join the emmc dat0 point to the cpu by removing both chips and reball it.
will it destroy the mainboard? if over grinded@@sthetixofficial
yes it does.
great video, thank you
Glad you liked it!
Do you have a link where you got the solder from I cant find it anywhere ty
it is Hakko FX-951, you can find it everywhere
@@sthetixofficial lol I meant the soldier wire my bad I'm sorry not the machine
Your are using the B point on top of the board, is that a alt point?
B on the top.,yes alt point
hey which solder paste u use for dat0 point ? low melt ?
standard leaded solder paste. I used mechanic brand
@@sthetixofficial you have maybe a link for it ? that will be great ^^ thx
@ozzygalantos8927 you can easily find it on aliexpress, i bought it locally
What is the brand and model of your grinder?
it is the ma-ant D1
Is it worth doing the kamikaze method? How long on average until the dat0 adapter will oxidize if that method is used instead?
it is worth. there is no specific day when the dat0 oxidize, it could be months to years.
I see, can we solder the exposed dat0 point as normal and omit the solder paste?
yes
@@sthetixofficial Thank you, one final question: would a Dremel pen bit with a working diameter of 0.5mm be small enough?
@gamblerofrats 0.5 is too big
Hello @sthetixofficial I did It but when I put on my console and after training process, v6s have led light Blue and doesn't open instinct page but NORMAL page. I have checked all value in diode mode and was ok. What's wrong?
What chip did you use?
@@sthetixofficial V6S, the same of video, I turni on my console I see multicolor led but After colori change in Blue and console go in NORMAL mode.
Try using other chip or check the signal / solder pads connectivity
I have the same issue, all values read good, but still it goes to OFW@@sthetixofficial
@@sthetixofficial now it works. thanks a lot
i think i f.. up my caps on the cpu
anyone know what caps it is and where i can get replacements ?
it is a 1uf cap
does this mean if have NINTENDO SWITCH V6S must use kamikaze method to find dat0?
No, it is just an alternative method to install the DAT0 connection.
hey, maybe a little late to the party, but is there maybe a diagram or a video tutorial on how to install the chip normally instead of with the kamikaze method? tutorials on the internet solder different parts while others dont, like the resistor on the dat0, and the vbus. i have no idea which tuorial to follow, or what the difference even is. like also there is a point A that nobody seems to use, whats that for then? is there a way i can find out whats the right way to install this chip without the kamikaze method. i really don't want to drill through the motherboard. but i have no clue what to else to install this chip normally because of the difference in the tutorials. you seem to know what you're doing. is there any way you could help me?
it depends on the chip you are using. you can watch my previous modchip installation video without the kamikaze. I never use Pico so we don't need to alter or add resistor
@@sthetixofficial I have the same chip that you are using in the video. the instinct-nx v6s. so the only thing i still need to figure out is if i have to solder the resistor on the dat0, because i'm using this instead f the kamikaze method. i've seen some tutorials using the v6s chip that do solder the resistor, and others don't. although i have no idea what difference it makes, i don't know what it does or what it is used for, they both seem to work. would it you advise to connect the resistor on the dat0 or advise against it? thanks for the quick response btw, you are awesome and your tutorials and resources are the best!!
Hi, is the same schematic for rp2040 picofly?
yes, i think so
Is this the mod chip and installation method you use on the consoles you sell on your website?
yes.
@@sthetixofficial I can’t wait to get my oled I purchased off you, I have a v1 unpatched that I’ve modded also using your hats pack
Does your latest hatspack work with instinct v6s I keep getting error 2002-3540 on OFW doesn’t do it on CFW does it at random times?
it does. try to replace your sd card with other brands
@@sthetixofficial it’s not the sd card because I took that out and booted into stock by pressing volume + and - at the same time and I’m still getting that error code at random times on OFW sometimes on the Home Screen sometimes in a game could it be a faulty chip?
I have the same problem too. After I change the chip with a new one, no errors. Firmware version 1.3 on both. So could be a faulty chip 🤷
@@Techh0bbyist_Shop there’s a few faulty v6s going around apparently but someone mentioned a new firmware sorted some issues
you can try flashing it it with u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZ8rj50ZYMAS0MyiVOVfEnQF3SAGr5eDPM6y
it's the newest firmware for the v6s
If I don't use the Kamikaze method, is the installation the same as V6? Thank you. Very good work!
yes just substitute the kamikaze with the dat0 adapter
@@sthetixofficial thanks!!!
can you use this for V6 as well for OLED?
You can.
is liquid solder 138’ or 183’ wich one ?
138c for the low melt solder - which is the Mechanic Soldering X XW5
I wonder shetix , do you repair video game consoles too , to resell them or for yourself ?
I do have an online store, you can check it
