You have the BEST tutorial on this. I am a novice..I know nothing of dismantling electronics, but after studying ur video 2 to 3 times, I didn't feel the dread, or anxiety all the other videos make you feel...they make the task feel like it's brain surgery. It felt good to fix my kids switch..thank u for this tutorial!

@552amy Год назад

Thank you so much for the tutorial! I only had 1 mental break down. Keep up the good work 😊

@iangreenberg5101 Год назад

Dear Mr the fix. It worked. My 5 year old who plays fortnight like a 10 year old dropped it last week and broke. We ordered the 14 buck kit from Amazon. Took us just under 2 hours to complete. She did the fixing while I controlled the pause and rewind for this video. We did step by step didn't miss a beat and u saved me from having to buy him a new one. Only thing I would say it having a pair of needle nose with plastic on ends of it that helped us a lot. Thanks very much for your detailed video. My wife and I are not good with things like this

If yall take off the heatsink, I recommend repasting it with a high quality paste. Mine feels cooler just to the touch.

@Ferdig_Vibes 10 месяцев назад

Good to replace it either way, lasts WAY longer. This goes for any device. Scrub it with Isopropyl Alcohol so it doesn’t hurt the boards.

@jayjohnston9847 11 месяцев назад

@jimbryant2157 3 месяца назад

I know I am very late to the party, but I have 2 questions: 1) Would you recommend using hall effect joysticks over the standard Nintendo sticks? and 2) Another video I watched recommended replacing the thermal paste before reinstalling the heat sink - do you recommend that too? Thanks for the very clear video - and I love the powered screwdriver (very jealous)!!

@itswiddow5039 2 года назад

my man you forgot to add new thermal paste, you need to do that or its gonna overheat

@littlebigplayz215 2 года назад

Really?

@943awsomeness 2 года назад

Not really, but it’s still a good idea since Nintendo uses cheap thermal paste that doesn’t cover the whole chip lol

@RichieLanderos Год назад

Chips in phones are better than this. I think he good lol

@itswiddow5039 Год назад

@@RichieLanderos its not a phone... its a game system, which means of course, its going to be running intensively whenever its running, because what do you do on a game system other than game (and hulu and youtube on the switch maybe). And thermal paste is ALWAYS required for ANY cpu. Ive never met a cpu that you could run without it.

@nemesis5289 Год назад

@@itswiddow5039 it is more efficient in cpu than v1, it surely below what termal paste can do

@tommckeown4724 Год назад

@ElGhostPresents 2 месяца назад

I need help. I replaced 2 Nintendo Switch joysticks (all 4 of them). One came out perfect no issues and the other has no power after replacement. I tried everything, same procedure and process as the one that works. I reinstalled the old ones to see if that was it and still no power. No loose connections, no damage to the cables, added new thermal paste to both of them. Is there any reason why this happened? I even tried all the methods. Charging it, doing the power + low volume method. Nothing works. Could it be the battery? Previously the battery would drain pretty quick compared to the one that works. Do you think when I disconnected the battery it just gave out?
