Wow this is actually hard to watch. You came up on my recommended but honestly that was a bit painful. The way you rigorously scrub that board is so bad. It's the fastest way to knock components off. Also you need to tin the pads before you solder otherwise it'll just fly around all over the place causing you to have to use heat for longer, risking more damage to the board. Also you're using all the wrong tools, your probes are too thick and tweezers are too wide. I do however wish you the best on your repair endeavour and will sub to see how you progress. Thanks for the video :)
Can you please help me. I am trying to help fix my son 's switch. I have tried everything. It will not turn on. I have held it down for 15 seconds, it will come on for 1 second and show the "nintendo" logo and then it goes off, nothing else. My son is becoming so upset (he has Autism). I do not know what else to do?
Gonna try to replace my video chip tomorrow........I wanted to ask what temperature should I use for my hot air solder? It goes all the way up to 527 degrees.
when you say shorted, do you mean grounded???a shorted cap is basically the plates being bonded together, also some of the pins on the motherboard will need to be grounded for the ICs which is why you are getting continuity (beeping) on some of them when you probe against the ground plate.
There is a direct short - to ground. Yes, one side of the cap should be grounded, thus the beeping from the continuity check. However, when both sides beep (the side which is connected to the chip) there is a short to ground within the circuit itself.
Hi, on 6:06 how can you tell "this Guy is shorted " ? does it look any difference if it's shorted? Please let me know, as I am trying to fix my switch too, it was on the dock overnight and this morning it just doesn't turn on ....Nintendo 's quality is very bad.
Please talk louder some times it's very hard to hear you. When you test chips for short unplug battery, you can short something or usually if battery in than IC's will show sorts. One more trick with this microscope, turn built in light down, that will reduce latency.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, that's one of those things you only do once. After having to replace the charging fuse, I won't be forgetting to unplug the battery again..
Hello friend, Do you still repair these types of Nintendo switch cases? I have a similar problem as in the video, I would be very grateful if you would answer me
Just joined your channel.. Have a question for you i have a switch that shows charging but it does not charge. Amp reader shows 0.00 amps. There are no shorts in the charging chips and the video chip.. I also tried two difderent working batteries.. What could it be? Thank you..
Interesting issue. Is this a liquid damaged console? Check voltages coming into the board - check voltage through fuse and at some different points around the M92T36 chip.
@@GTurbski thank you very much for the answer! The unit shows no water damage. With a charged battery the unit works fine with no issues and shows the charging symbol but shows 0.00 amps. Also what should the fuse voltage be?
