I Bought 23 BROKEN Nintendo Switches for $1,955 to Try and Fix Them AND Make Money! I thought I'd be able to fix almost all of these Switches...but I was wrong! I show how to fix lots of common issues like diagnosing and replacing the M92T36 charge chip, P13USB video chip, as well as liquid damage.

Would you be able to go into more detail on a more microscopic level? I'm curious as to what happens (physically) inside these chips when they go bad and if there's any way to repair the damage within the chips themselves. It seems like such a waste to have all these main CPUs going bad and I know you explained the shorting out problem within the video.

This is exactly why Apple and Microsoft wants to eliminate right to repair. They want you to send it back to them for them to make money. Heaven forbid the customer doesn't want to go through the hassle of shipping and wait 2 months for the manufacture to repair instead of just getting someone local to change a 20 dollar part

Hi, about number 1. Maybe the switch is in recovery mode using autorcm in that case the screen would not turn on and waits for a payload to get injected. Its being used by people who mod their system. It would also not fast charge in rcm mode You could check it if you connect the switch to your pc if it shows up or use any payload injector and check if it detacts a switch in rcm mode. I kinda feel that at least one of them is in rcm mode so many without backlight

That’s something I really like about this guy. He’s very skilled and probably the first person I’d want to send my broken electronics to, but he’s honest when he can’t fix something. He could just not post the things where he can’t get it working and make it look like everything he touches he fixes, but that’s obviously never gonna be true no matter how good you are at it. He’s very transparent and even when he doesn’t fix the device the videos are still entertaining and educational
