Nintendo Switch FIX - No Power 

Those caps under a SoC/APU usually have a very low resistance. If your meter beeps short below 50ohm, these will always beep. Sub-50 ohm isn't always a "short" , it's just under 50ohm. Id recommend to stop using continuity almost altogether. You just replaced filter caps here. I'm surprised it still worked but it's possible as others are also filtering...so it's just stressing the other filtering caps lol.

look i never tried to repair a switch, i've repaired some graphic cards, 1ps3, 1 xbox one. The resistance of bga chips are normally really low, for example a gtx 1060 measure around 0.3 omhs on the GPU so i recommend you to not use the "bip" to check it, but the actual resistance and compare to another good one. If it have a close resistance it doesnt means the processor is necessarily good, but it's a good indicator. Sry about my english, isn't my main language

Hi, I don't know if this console of yours finally bit the bullet or not but i would say, if it was a capaacitor issue - then simply exchange the suspected components with new ones, you can easily measure the capacitance from a a donor, the voltage rating can be guessed, CPU/GPU typically have a VCC of approx 1.2V to 1.4V so just opt from something above that. You'll notice looking under the microscope that these capacitors don't sit flush with the board, they almost look like they hover, special lead type, it's not critical to replace them with this style but they do prevent problems with cracking, which may be important on handhelds such as this (flex) I would say the most common issue with Switches is board warp, it warps or someone has a tantrum and twists the entire unit and the tegra is stressed, if you remove the tegra i'd hazard you'd see a couple of pulled pads where the tegra has lifted off the board, i'd guess your rework in removing the capacitors relieved the stran and the chip made contact again. You can verify this by replacing with known good caps, if nothing then remove the tegra and reball or simply hit the chip with 200c for a min or two and observe the change, regards and good vid

Thank you for sharing, I just subscribed!

hey, thx for your tutorial, i did the same as you show on one switch with shorted cpu like yours and it works so thank you, now i'm little scare to use it, did you have any problem with this switch since the video ? thanx you again :)

Caps behind APU are in series mostly around CPU clock line thats why they show up short. Nintendo switch most common problem is M92 chip which fails quite often.

Thanks for share knowledge . I would like to know the values of capacitors changed ,because I have tested my motherboard and I have the same problem with my switch . TKS

Mine does charge it says 15v after the fuse, but it wont turn on, I have checked every cap and I have no short only in the ones you point but there a low impedance that's why it beeps, did you know any other method to check the ics besides short?

Does that chip quick flux give you headaches? I bought the same flux from CPC Farnell and it’s terrible stuff, do you like it? Jay

Hi, how's your Nintendo switch going? It's working? I did remove the capacitors you mentioned in the video, but my Switch won't boot up. Is there anything I can do?

I got my switch repaired by someone finding out none of the ic chip were shorted but was a capacitor blown and he removed it and it worked perfectly fine for me. He said removing 1 wouldnt be any problem as there are few others..

Hey I'm having issue with my switch console not turning on, I can hear a buzzing noise coming from on the motherboard. the charging indicator does not show up on screen, when pressing the power button and waiting a few seconds then taping on the screen does nothing. I have two videos on my channel of the issue occurring. what do you think it could be? Thanks!

hi, where do you get the information, schematics etc? i have a nintedo switch with problems, fan dont work, fan are fine i probe in another switch and works. do you know where i can get info? any forums or similar?

I have a switch witch had a damaged charged port and a fault P13usb chip. I replaced both but still will not turn on, can't find any shorts anywhere either. When plugged in it trys to charge at 0.54a? Any ideas? Cheers

Binding of Isaac is crappy? Dude......

So my headphone jack started smoking and at that point it doesn’t turn on what should I do
