I hope this video gets as many views as it deserves, cuz its fricking awesome. I'm wondering if there's a way to modify the vibration to add a toggle instead of removing the vibrating entirely...

This guy popped up from nowhere but is the guy everyone needs!!!!

One detail with this mod. You can keep the motor. Keep the three pins and connect button test point to left pin (or whichever is your switch on). Next connect your motor cold wire to right pin (or whichever is your switch off). This wire will have to be extended. It's not too difficult, just have a clamp or something to hold motor wire in place. Next, connect the motor cold pad to center pin. When off, the motor should work and not when on. If motor works when pressing the button with light on, you connected motor wire cold to button test point. Don't do that.

Optional, you can remove the speaker because Pikachu sounds like he either has a cold or is dying due to speaker not being directed out. No point in keeping it. My recommendation is to tin the tip of your iron and drag the iron across both points. Don't let the iron touch other components or pads when doing this! When freed, the speaker wires should lift up on their own. The pads can be left tinned as long as the solder between the two pins are not connected to each other or other components.

When soldering, it helps to have flux when removing extra solder and use something to capture the smoke or be in a well ventilated area (eg: outside). When de-soldering, be patient, make sure temperature is right, and don't leave the iron on too long if it is not de-soldering. You may damage the board or nearby components if not careful which will result in a non-functional main board or top board. Also be weary when holding the soldering iron above the board when with solder in unnecessary situations. You could drop some solder when using excess amounts and put yourself in a difficult situation to salvage (without the correct equipment and skill). Happy soldering and be safe!

*Needed components:*
- *1x* Soldering station (Can be cheap however, you want one with temp controls)
- *1x* solder fume extractor/absorber (Optional if done outside)
- *3x* thin wires (Can be obtained from an old USB cable. They must be very thin and easy to bend)
- *1x* Heat resistant tape (Kapton or Polyimide) or substitute with heat shrink. However, the thin wires will make it difficult. Just use the tape, it works.
- *_x* hot glue (If you can measure and design a 3D printable bracket for the switch, PLEASE REPLY! I hate condoning the use of hot glue in mods. If controlled, it works however I still hate it.
- *1x* switch (Can purchase off of AliExpress. Use the below string to get what you need in the first result. This is what I use. If you use 5MM, you will have to lightly trim and sand down.)

AliExpress search: "20Pcs SS12D00 Interruptor on-off mini Slide Switch 3pin 1P2T 2 Position High quality toggle switch Handle length:3MM/4MM/5MM/6MM"

Thank you SO much for this tutorial. Had no previous experience soldering, but followed along and my Go Plus + is working wonders. Only thing I did different is I didn't disconnect the battery, felt like I was gonna tear it apart. You're awesome!!!

Your video helped me get over my fear of breaking my device. I’ve successfully followed along to mod two myself now. My first one I modded when your video launched about 8 months ago and another one today. Thanks 🎉

if youre going to do it this way, add some flux to the pins before trying to add solder to aid in having the solder flow. Also, if you want to do this correctly, tape the wires to a non flammable surface to hold it in place. then use one hand to hold the solder and another to hold the soldering iron. place the iron on the pin you want to solder and touch your solder to the hot metal to have it melt and flow. letting solder just sit on the iron and then trying to have it scrape off onto the pins is asking for bad solder joints

Your Pokémon GO content is truly top-notch! The way you share tips, and updates is engaging and incredibly helpful. Keep up the fantastic work!

MrJoel

Did this a few months ago and it is the BEST

Snoop_dubs

Dude so pumped you shared how to do this.. ppl on ebay and amazon trying to sell these modified for like double the price... this is amazing for us economy pogo players and is the epitome of community!

Opening and modifying items in the EU and US absolutely does not void warranty. Companies say it does, but it is a myth. It would be a violation of federal law to void a warranty because a tamper seal is broken. And in the EU, it does not void the 6 months guarantee on new items.

This is the way how-to videos should be made!

Great job! Heck, you even explained why we’d have an extra screw left!

stevebowling

Thanks for making this video. its by far the cleanest of the plus mod videos out there. Don't have a soldering iron, but might have to get one just for this.

joseapar

This is one of my new favorite YouTuber’s, keep up the good work! :D

SaltyMationss

Can you make a follow up Vid of it in action please? Nice uploads. Keep her lit!

Your soldering iron makes cool noises.
I'd have to contract this job out...my fingers are to numb after my chemo treatment to do this. Great video
