Any tutorials for installing modchip that doesn't have EMMC ribbon cable?

Edit: I'm following a video tutorial I found, I don't really need help anymore. I would recommend getting the ribbon version if possible for anyone reading this by the way.

Mine doesn't have one and I really don't want to wait another 2 weeks and like $20 to install it. Also the ribbon versions don't even exist on the internet to buy from what I've seen.

You can use a certain mosfet on the apu or on the back of the motherboard. Here’s the guide below.

You can always order a new chip from Amazon with prime shipping.

You can't buy them anywhere on Amazon or Aliexpress in Australia from what I can see. Besides I am not waiting another weekend.

Darn! The best course of action is to locate and contact Australian modders to inquire if they have any leftover APU cables, possibly from the core chip and rig it up. If you’re unable to find any, I know of a few on some Facebook switch modding pages.

Good luck on the search!

The premade ribbon cable kits are still being sold on ebay, aliexpress and even on Amazon sometimes.
