Questions
Frequently Asked

Yes — any hardware modification voids Nintendo's warranty. If your Switch is still under warranty and you plan to use Nintendo's service, we'd recommend waiting. For consoles out of warranty, this is generally not a concern.

Yes, if you go online with a modified console Nintendo can detect it and issue a ban. The standard practice is to set up emuNAND (a separate environment) and only use CFW on emuNAND, keeping your sysNAND clean for online use. We configure this as part of our CFW setup service.

Check the model number on the back of your Switch or the box. HAC-001 is V1 (potentially hackable), HAC-001(-01) is V2 (patched/Mariko), HDH-001 is Switch Lite, and HEG-001 is Switch OLED. Not sure? Bring it in and we'll identify it for free.

The LED removal involves physically desoldering the LED component. This is not reversible. We can also optionally cover it with a non-conductive material if you prefer a reversible option, though this is less reliable.

Most mods are completed same-day. Switch V1 CFW setup can be done in under an hour. V2/OLED/Lite mod chip installations typically take 2–3 hours. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you drop off.
