I Bought 3 Faulty SWITCH DOCKS off of eBay | How Many Can I FIX?! 

Rumour has it Steve fixed number 2 just by looking at it 😁

Man, absolutely love your videos. I've been enjoying your content so much. Your set up is great, you're calm and funny, totally deserve more subs, likes and views. I really like the fact you don't edit out your mistakes, you learn from them and share that knowledge with us! Keep up the good work!!

*TIP* 🐨 When Placing or Replacing a New Chip to the PCB, Heat the Solder on the PCB whilst Holding the Chip *AWAY* from where it is to be placed, Once solder glisten's or presents that it's Liquifying place the New or Donor Chip down into place and nudge into position, Anyway by the time it finds it's place Via surface tension you will find the replacement is exposed to a lot less heat time.. APU I dropped a 👉👍👈

lol, loving your video uploads, Steve. Brilliant fault finding and mixed with your singing, makes this one of my top 5 RU-vid channels.

yes i must admit i did'nt believe you could do it but you did,you really are becoming very good at fixing .

Steve, I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming and your repairs are not just enjoyable entertainment you really do have a unique approach to problem solving. Hi to dave..

Just found your channel and subbed buddy. Your humor is hilarious hahaha. Im terrible and fixing stuff like this but it is a good watch for me maybe i will learn a thing or two from your vid's :) . Keep up the good work bud your vid's are awesome :)

Great results Steve ... plus a spare to scavenge for parts. Buying as part of a broken item can be much more cost effective route to build your spares holding ... assuming your partner doesn’t begrudge you the space to store things. .... plus another song for the album of repair anthems. Keep up the great work 😀👍

I only watch for the end credits. 🤣 Great fix Steve, I've seen a few of these faulty but never attempted a repair.

Thanks for another great vid Steve. It's funny on ebay how not working sometimes means working, but untested always means not working. Nice they added some kisses for this one though 😂

Worth a thumbs up for the song at the end alone.

Only channel where you can enjoy some repairs and get some free karaoke if you wait until the end. Nice!!

Great job Steven? No wonder it's raining and we have a storm your singing is tragic 😂 love you Steven x

Amazing and so is the singing LOL. Keep it going!

I love all your videos but I have no idea how on Earth you find such great deals on faulty gaming equipment.

Great fix there Steve , remined me of fixes Vince did on a job lot of docks some time ago , but hey Meatloaf - nice 1 mate 👍

We love you!

Good video x

Love the Grave Diggaz!!!

Third t-shirt is amazing! I love me some Gravediggaz

Good job steve

Loving the gravediggaz t-shirt 👌🔥

Hey Steve. New viewer. I repaired a dock for a friend of mine a few months ago that had the symptoms of your "donor" board. There's a BGA chip under the HDMI cage. I actually replaced it with a chip I found for 25 dollars on ali and, miraculously, it fixed it. Hope it helps if you ever revisit some day.

Great video mate

Always those M92's 😂 Good fix man 👍 Dope gravediggaz shirt.

Hahah. I love future-editor-Steve clowning on past-Steve. Poor past-Steve doesn't deserve it.

"no power kiss" is actually an extremely common fault. The issue stems from the dock's inability to feel love. Usually this is a terminal condition that can't be fixed. There is a part cut out of this video where Dave performs extensive counseling for the docks

1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth

slick gravediggaz shirt

liking that gravediggaz shirt!

Diary of a mad man 🔥

Steve we need a t-shirt collection video! You got some 🔥🔥

IMO considering the prices of docks are $90CAD ish 10quid for the IC + 9quid for the rest actually justifies buying the replacement IC and repairing it. You could turn a profit.

You had me at the meatloaf singing

Get in... 😁👍

nice good one

Always good seeing these kind of vids thanks. Ok, how does one repair a faulty ac power supply for a Nintendo Switch? Looked everywhere but nada. Looking forward to reply on this. It seems I'm plagued by failing psu's lately. Probably due to cold damp weather conditions..? If I was to buy new for all it would cost a small fortune. Help!

I did this with laptops, there was a job lot of 20,not damaged but eventually repaired and profit

Damn Gravediggaz t-shirt... You got my sub just for that!

Ahhaha I remember that eBay auction, glad you got them and was able to fix. It’s surprising how many on eBay don’t really check stuff properly

Nice fix Steve! I had the exact same issue with mine. No power, then replaced M92T55 and voila. I also have an other one like you with green light on but no display. That one I could not fix. There is a BGA chip behind the HDMI port under the shield. That could be similar like a retimer chip on an Xbox. Could pretty much be that is wrong. But I ended up similarly like you, the chips are so expensive that it does not worth to repair...

I always really liked Meatloaf! I've never had any beef with him. I'll do anything for you brother Steven! but I won't do that X 😂👍🏻

Is that stuff you're lathering on the boards before applying heat; flux? Im assuming it is but just wanted to make sure. I have 6 'junk' gameboys coming in the mail - You've inspired me to try my hand at fixing 'retro' consoles. Its only the start of my journey in this but hope its a productive one. Please keep making videos!

2 cups of blood, boy. Good stuff, m8.

Volbeat rocks!

Been here, seen it, got the switch dock. IYKYK

Lol in London that band's name is slang for ahem a lady's exclusive product that us blokes would not be using and is a considered very naughty word...

Huge black market of switch dock back plates somewhere !

Fantastic. You singing. Tour fantstic Person. Thanks for the fix . Sorry for My english

M92T36 and the M92T36 are both USB-C Power Battery Charging Control IC so it makes sense how frying it will prevent the device from charging

that gravediggaz shirt!

Guys into hiphop Music makes the channel even better .. 6 feet deep was a dope album

Niice! 👍

Poor Meat Loaf, he probably heard you singing and ended up killing him.... LOL J/K of course.

If you setup these after fixing do you have to list them as "refurbished"?

That tidbit about third party charges frying the usb-c port is probably why my docking station doesnt work anymore =(. I get a green light for a split second, and then the light disappears.

Weird issue I am having and wonder if you have some insight. My docks USB ports only work when the switch is not on the dock or off. It will charge the pro controller when it is off but if I try to plug in a wired controller or a fight stick I get nothing. I also can not update any controllers as when the system is on nothing is recognized. thanks for any help on this issue!

Idk boss 10$ regardless if you payed 9 for the dock plates it could be worst. You know as well as others that dive into the pcb world, the chips depending on the unit are sometimes hard to come by. If your lucky you can buy them in singles but pricey ….Sometimes…. Or you have to look for what we call a parts board or just a friendly “let’s see if this chip works better on the other board lol. Anyways nice video as always watching your videos just reminds me of good ol days and it makes me want to fix more and more things. Buying things from where your from seem to be a lil cheaper sometimes I wish I could find good deals, at one point nobody was doing things like this it was like a blessing and collecting and buying games and some other stuff was easier. Now it’s like every follower is doing just that and buying all resources bcuz they think now that they can fix everything and anything. I’ve seen it first hand not to mention I like watching your videos and when watching i seen a few videos where someone did say they tried fixing it then another same thing but didn’t say the actually made the console worst and some they played it off as to be sneaky that they didn’t try fixing the console when especially someone like yourself that’s been doing it for a while and um hello that is your entire RU-vid channel lol. They just don’t want to look or feel dumb when I know sometimes they right you a note or there’s a note on eBay saying “it just stopped working, never been opened “ lol and 9 times out of 10 you come out golden 👍.. Anyways much respect all the way from “ARIZONA “ I know this video is kinda old but your personality and technique is on point always again good stuff keep it up… see you on your next new video.

Where’d you buy that usb c breakout board?

I'm wondering if you have a setup so you're not breathing in the fumes from the flux. I notice you don't wear a mask, so I figured you have something for ventilation. Keep making great content :)

12:09 the original board? Aren't they all original? 😅

I'm just here for the singing.

Thanks for the video! I have a similar problem. When i plug che usb charger, the output charge the nintendo for 1 second and then stops. Do you know what could be hapenning ?

I have exactly the same problem with my dock, no light, no image no nothing, but I've always used the default charger for the dock, I wonder if it is the same chip that is causing the issue.

lol 2 out 3 is certainly ok :D

always use genuine ac adapters

Erm... could you you have just taken the ribbon and usb dock off #1 and tried it on the power/no display before all the soldering of the m92?

Did you ever fix the 3rd by ordering another M92 chip?

What is the goop you put on the n95 chip B4 removing. I'm a soldering noob btw, I'm not being a smart arse

Could you give us a quick visit around your "fixing office" and your tools?

RIP Meatloaf

What's the gel you put on the chips before you heat them up? Looks like it instantly melts?

i have a Nintendo switch...the dock has a green light when I put the switch on it and its charging but the image doesn't appear on my tv...what might be the problem? please :) i tried most of the obvious solutions like turning it off and on or changing resolution but the problem still persist

After he fixed it console 69% nice

Great work Steve, would u consider obtaining that chip to try n diagnose the last one? I know u said its wasnt worth it but I think u might identify something new which maybe isnt out for content already.

Your face isnt ugly at all.

Nice fix. Mine went back to Nintendo and got replaced (not cheap). It was charging and there was power on the USB ports but no picture on the monitor and the battery was damaged. Wonder what caused what there.

I only watch these for the singing.

I come here for the fix, I stay because of the singing

Hi bud I’ve been really really lucky and bought a unfortunately non working ( I think belts have gone ) Sony wm 2 Walkman one of the original ones would you’ll consider having a go at repairing it please as I have no clue but am sooo chuffed to finally find one.. how do I get in touch if you are in agreement cheers Ritchard

M92T17 I believe does display and M92T55 I believe does power. Could be the other way tho so don't hold me to that lol

If you don’t use the Nintendo power cord it came with the dock won’t work

Awesome repair Stez....your musical choices though.... 😂

Please confirm if Dave is okay! your singing might have disrupted his home

❤❤❤❤

Something tells me meat loaf isn't saying much these days

Flashback 6 feet deep

What do you end up doing with a lot of this stuff? Resell? Hang on to? Give them away to family and friends?

You should get a job on the I.S.S for NASA Steve. Great at DOCKING. 🚀

Im having an issue with my dock and it's exactly like the 3rd one. It was working fine one day then stopped working the next day. I've tried everything and nothing has worked so I think I'll just have to get rid of it.

well done. I've bought from this seller before, no power chargers written on them. but some worked fine. i think they sometimes go into protection mode. and the seller hasn't unplugged them, so they end you written it on everything my mistake. any reason you decided to changed m92t55 and not m92t17, or was it just a lucky punt?

How small can this chips be made...I bet in not so far away future it will be impossible to switch chips by hand...

and to think i thought X was hug and O was kiss :(

The multiplication symbol looks like this: *×* . Please use it instead of the letter x.

You need to stop changing your tee shirts mid video, it ruins your...... continuity! 😂
