Nintendo Switch Liquid Damage Repair - I Almost said no to this. 

That wasn’t a fix it was a resurrection. Well done Alex.. supreme skill

I know my basic electronics but I've never repaired anything SMD/IC related Followed you for a while and I figured heck why not! Bought myself a entry level hot air station and I've successfully repaired a HP Elitebook 840 G6 with a fried charger IC Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

The joy on Alex's face when he finishes one of these difficult repairs is magical. Great video and congratulations on a challenging repair.

I'm a chemist, don't know anything about the type of electronics you fix, but every fix you do is really magical. it makes me stay to the end of the video to see what happens. Subscribed.

I just got into repairs. Already bought my station, a lab PSU, magnifier, tweezers, flux, stencils and other complementary things. So far I have repaired ONE GTX 780 where I had to replace a memory chip. I have reballed it 2 times and did 1 reflow with 2 chips and it felt amazing to see it come back to life! Should be good for a while :D Without courage I would have never got here. And it is not just because of you, it is because the community as a whole. I have met amazing people while working on it. Will try to fix more and more electronics in the future

Customer says: “the switch does not power on” Customer means: “the switch was dropped in the ocean please help”

Amazing what can happen in a space of two years, weldone on the growth of the channel. I for one, I am not in this field of work, far far removed, but I find these videos therapeutic. Weldone, keep up the good work!!

27min repairing a switch, i'm in paradise with your repair videos

That satisfaction when a hard repair turns out well. It’s like a drug!

bro I absolutely love watching your work and listening to your instructions. you are the best I've seen and wish all my professors at University were like you. You are extremely professional and extremely proficient at you work. thankyou for taking the time to make your videos and help others. much respect to you and I pray God blesses you your family and your business. God Bless brother be safe and stay healthy!

It‘s always a joy to watch your amazing SMD soldering skills Alex! Still struggling to get all my movements coordinated when working with the microscope camera. Needs lots of training and you are the grandmaster of soldering make it look so easy! 👍👏😃

This guy needs more subs he's one of the most skilled soldering guy I've seen on RU-vid nice and clean work.

Your soldering skills are remarkable! I've watched , and done a lot of soldering in my time. You have a gift ! Love the channel , Great content.

You should add a "Better than factory" section to the forum where members could brag with their DIY repair skills :D

In my busy life i find this channel absolutely relaxing and satisfying, keep up the good work.

i saw how it fixed itself... the dry humor is always what keeps me coming back 😆😆... hilarious.. all the right tools make working on boards a dream to watch.. good work buddy!

Most funny part. 18:41 I laughed out so loud my son woke up😂😂 I know boss you will like my comment

Amazing skills. Im a low voltage tech in the life saftey field. In the past 6 months ive been replacing a great deal of fire alarm panels. Sometimes surge damage or faulty relays. Whatever the case, after discoving your chanel ive gained massive respect for your ability to revive circuitry in lue of creating waste and incurring heavy expense on customers. Always a pleasure to watch you work.

The customer would find it less expensive to buy a good used Nintendo Switch on E-bay. A great repair job that few online could do successfully. Also, I started watching your videos only 2 weeks ago. Your videos are excellent practical "show me how to do it" training videos for those high school students and college students interested in computer and electronic device repair.

Thank you again for showing us your daily business. It seems to be normal these days that the customer only provides minimal information - according to the logic - every word in the error description costs extra. Your type of service is probably not cheap, but it is relatively unique. In your videos you document your work for us, combined with your ironic comments - always a pleasure for me - thank you for that

Congrats on your 250K subs! Really nice work as always, love how the MAX chip flowed perfectly in to place first time. Frustrating when you get an incomplete problem report, being as through as you can saves time, money, even if it hurts the customer's dignity to admit the device got dunked in the toilet or something!

im from Catamarca Argentina... learning from you.. thnx!!!

I learn so much from watching you and your impressive techniques with repairs. Thank you for the continued great content!

Great job!! I’ve fixed /built computers as a hobby for a lot of years, completely self taught. Worked on other electronics also. A local computer repair used to give me things to mess with, a lot of it was fixable. Laptops, desktops, pc and Mac. Receivers, game consoles, dvd players the list goes on!! I told the neighbors “ before you toss electronics out, let me look at the items, one time I fixed a item and made a good amount of money, I didn’t expect to get anything, but the person said here, when I got the $520.00 in cash, I was like “ WOW, why, it was a easy fix.. the person showed me the cost of the item! I looked that model up. My jaw dropped! Back then It was alot. He told alot about my work and how I had it done fairly fast ( testing it, cleaning up before and after working on it. I always did this : before ANY repair I took photos before and after the repair, not only of the work area but the entire items housing, then if there were any marks, I had proof of what scratches / marks I didn’t make or did.

this is my first time seeing the tweezer wick technique and now i actually have a reason to use tweezer soldering iron amazing thank you sir

Thanks for the mentor-ship you are doing to the population, let the struggle continues.

Fair play for taking the time to take this on. Excellent 👍

It’s incredible how components right next to extreme corrosion can look perfectly clean.

I don't often comment and usually just click like. But this video is worthy of a comment. Many would not have attempted replacing the components after seeing the mess caused by what looked like liquid damage. But with your experience you decided it was worth the risk and cleaned away the mess and replaced the damaged chips and corroded capacitors and filters. Great fix!

First time I've seen a BGA replacement. Very satisfying.

What i like about this video, specifically, is.. at the end of the day you are running a business, and have left us to run your business , re all those ACER's you fixed, yet you come back on here and spend an extradent amount of time repairing this Switch. and an even more amount of time actually making this video. Well done sir, and although i haven't used your forum, that also shows us you deserve to be on youtube and congrats on the 1/4 million subs.

how much i learn from your channel is amazing. thanks alot

Such a skilled guy, honest and honourable. Other technicians take note................

Beautiful...very nice job. Never say "it will be a no fix" to a liquid-damage. Positiv thinking and you will get the job done. Such a nice repair. Great. Thanks for that video. Greets

Yes that solder braid-hot tweezers technic is awesome, I always amazed everytime you do it, Alex. 👍

You’re troubleshooting skills are top notch! You’re deadpan humor is also pretty good 😂

This is what I love about RU-vid you never know what you may find and I just happened on this channel and I love watching a Grand Master plying his trade. Thoroughly enjoy your videos Alex great work.

You do awesome work I've learned a lot from watching you. I'd like to ask where do you get specs (specific measurements) for determining what different chips and resistors should be reading for all those different devices? Keep up the good work.

I don't care how narrow that nozzle is, if i was using it i would be melting everything! I find it very interesting to watch a professional carry out this type of repair, excellent work.

Brilliant work Alex, so good to see a true professional dedicated to his work and also with some added humour. 👍👍👍👍

It is very satisfying seeing a master perform... miracles!

Yo that solder wick in the tweezers trick is genius, I see why it blew up the channel. I'm gonna have to steal that.

Great fix, and great technique with the solder wick, very neat 👍

Alex amazing work- electronics soldering repair - love the way you cover the boaed inspect

thank you for your videos! i have come far in board repair thanks to videos like yours and others. always watch yours because you often say when you change or are doing something like; diode or continuity mode, turning hot air flow down or switching over to a donor board. i wish you the best!

I like your smile when it switched from 12v to 9v

18:42 I guess it did not want to be there. Gave me a good chuckle!

clearly moisture damage, personally i would not have bothered to even attempt fixing it and just advise the customer to source a replacement board. You deserve a beer for this one. Hats off.

MIND BLOWN - always thought it was NorthbridgeFix

Love watching your videos Alex. Please keep it up. There has got to be no chip shortages in the 9th dimension.

I am curious how much you are charging the customer for such repair. Are you applying a fixed rate or based on the time spent. Thanks 👍 very éducative!

I am nowhere near an expert in this stuff but these videos are something to space out to.

This is why you don't let your kids take their Switches into the bathtub folks. A Switch is not a "Bath time Toy".

WOW WOW you exceeded yourself alex ....leonardo de alex ..like the switch was a painting you created a masterpiece of micro soldering ..a real pleasure to watch ...

True Professional: Stumbles onto complete and utter carnage of the most malefic manner, and continues forward inspecting the battlefield without a pause.

Alex, you are a genius! Greetings from Argentina successes and thanks for your videos. Trinorte Tecno

This was not a repair, this was straight up necromancy😮 you have awsome skills!❤

I once went to the ocean climbing on those lines of rocks with my Switch in my pocket and I never got it wet surprisingly. It still works today

love to watch you work ,great job. Obviously had alot of practice.

An amazing repair. Very surprised that with such damage near MAX and P13USB chips it's still alive!

This just kind of seems like if someone drove their car into a lake then towed it out and took it to a mechanic and said, I don't know what is going on, it just quit running and wont start back up again... New to your channel and you do great work. Just seems like life would be easier if people actually gave all the facts when they send something in for repair.

Great job. Key is having a good view.

You are a fricking wizard. You are so fricking fast to resolder. 11:15

I'm always amazed at how intricate the work is on these jobs. i keep having to remind myself that I'm looking at things through a microscope and most of those things are tiny.

That ninth dimension comment got me. It’s so true.

"the chip is going to fix itself" *chip yeets itself out of existence* "see how it fixed itself?"

Kudos from Kenya Alex , I wish you could also do videos on ecu and module repair for vehicles and trucks . Great Man 😊😎

Alex your technique's are gold! 😎 Happy Easter!

I like the way you are building confidence in me

Another excellent video =D

Your are a legend man watching you fixing things very satisfying…….

i like how you straightened the capacitor. thank you lol

Probably threw it in rice for a week.then mailed it lol.great great job sir.you are in a class of your own

I don’t think most people who watch your videos understand the incredible skill that it takes to do what you’re doing! I guess a master of anything can make it look easy. Or are you actually from the ninth dimension?

Another job well done. Even leaving your bloopers in, great stuff.

mannnnnn, I am addicted to these videos-...

Enjoyed your smile when it worked 😊 Well done Alex 🤝🏻🇳🇱👍🏻

This is the bestest video you have like ever ever done !

Working on this one was a risk, good job. Bravo ya khayyeh

I got three days waiting for your videos.

“As it fixed itself…just like that” lolololol. You’re hysterical ❤

Hi Alex. This is way I started watching your videos! That’s an amaze repair! Thanks!

this is my second viewig of your channel, its an amazing skill, and really talanted. I really wanna do this aswell haha. Seems so fun.

When something is fixed I feel so relieved

Beautiful job mate, you are beyond an expert

Good video as always.Im startin g my Electronics internship on monday.

With as much time as you spent on that, wouldn't it be cheaper for the customer to either buy a new one, or just simply buy a new board? I'm always impressed with your work. You're thorough and always to the point. Love it! Keep up the good content.

I've watched many of your videos, I proper spat out my coffee when that chip flew off the board, and you said thats the chip showing us it fixing itself. so funny!

12:26 I find quite interesting how the tin just goes to where it needs to go

That is a steady hand.

The "look at this" after pulling a cap off made me laugh. 6:15

The tweezers and wick been doing that technique since iphone 5 help level and clean pads

"just like that" , after the chip went flying , killed me

To me this is an automatic no fix. You're a wizard!

Love watching repairs done to electronics, it makes my heart glad. But I laughed harder then I should have when that chip went flying. ^^;

You are a master of your craft. Amazing work!

The pink tab was a pretty good indication that there is liquid damage. Should be white when new.

I am very happy to see a video ☺️☺️

Very informative and well done. Thank you for making this video. I learned a lot from this

You are a joy to the right to repair community.
