Nintendo switch no power repair - Damaged by previous repair attempt. 

It was my first ever repair on this scale, not the best for sure and I learned my lesson. Thanks alot though Northbridge Fix!

In fairness, you guys make repairs so interesting that it makes taking it up as a hobby much more appealing. And at least it is an honest customer not a professional repairman that messed it up

Dude, you're f*cking electronical neurosurgeon, you make it look so easy, and as service technician myself for last 14 years (mostly as end user support, basic hardware/software and it outsourcing), i can tell that a lot of people think that it'll be as easy as you present it, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait, there's a catch. That catch is called practice. A SHITTON of practice. My confidence ends somewhere in replacing microUSB ports, reflashing bioses on dead boards and replacing few bigger mosfets, there is no way i'll have balls to go deep in ipad6 or iphone 6 and up. I have microscope, have (i think solid) solid soldering station, have good light, have steady hand, but don't have that confidence. But, i'm trying to practice as much i can. (on laptops i buy referred as "dead" from ebay or so or on really, like really dead boards). I take it more as an hobby than actual focus of my work, but i like to not stand on same spot for a long time, and i love to LEARN more about shit i do. KUDOS m8, you're pretty inspirational man, love your vids, and love that you share your great knowledge. Thanks a lot for that.

you have the hands of a surgeon, keep up the good work.

Love how you do your videos, everything you say is so precise. And you always show us the working device at the end. I’m going to get into micro soldering repairs when I can get some equipment. Thanks for the inspiration.

Awesome fixing and analyzing skills. You have my humble admiration.

As always, impeccable work, the finesse and patience you have is truly remarkable, icon in the making!

I must always admire the skills and ease going on here and I quite often when working on watches have your video's on playlist and just enjoy listening and watching these amazing repairs :D

Awesome video as always. What a great job to have, that your kids can visit you while you work.

Hearing children is always nice! I'm enjoying your videos. Watching them i have a craving of replacing and soldering components..

Mister u make me so impressed today. You work like a surgeon 👨‍⚕️. Really enjoy your videos all the time. Thanks for teaching us. Love from Sydney.

A very interesting video, seeing a real professional at work, with great skill and determination to repair the nigh impossible.

I had a feeling it’s going to work ! Job well done Alex !

Me asombra la facilidad con la que cambia cualquier componente, es un maestro sin duda. Saludos desde México.

Hello from Greece. You are the best teacher. Thanks for the knowledge and for your videos. Also if you can please give the temperature and the speed air then use the hot air. Regards

Wholesome content bro, as a newcomer in repairing this was so helpful and inspiring to me. Greetings from Argentina

another solid repair, thanks for keeping us entertained and educated

loved the sped up piano music in the background. Super Dad.

It is funny how easy this guy make the soldering process. The experience and consistent work is the reason.

Kids made a beautiful background music for your video, 🎶.

Top man. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I wish you was over here in the uk brother. Love your work. 👊😉

Man you work like magic... Great job.

Wow! what an awesome repair! You could have repaired 3 Switches with the time used on this board. But what a great guy and a great result

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 Good intentions to do work gives successful results👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Keep it up🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I really like ur smiling when u see a device is working….

VERY NICE. Reliable supply chain is CRITICAL.

such an inspiration for techies!

Another great repair keep up the good work / stay safe all the best

I don't want to say you make this all look easy, but you do make it look doable.

I love your vids, that's why I'm here. I think it's weird though that you sell all the stuff to allow people to attempt these sorts of repairs themselves, yet chastise them for attempting it. Even you, a well experienced technician, knocked off a cap in the process. It would have been cool to hear you say some things they did right and some things they did wrong. Good video either way I just think it would have been more fun to hear a good natured critique since the chap is just learning and working on their own device.

Nice, I love how knowledgeable you are

gracia por todo el conocimiento ,no solo de sus tecnicas de microsoldadura, tambien nos enseña a manejar situaciones como esta con el cliente

Always waiting yours videos like crazy thanks n god bless kids add fabulus background sound to videos lot of love to them

tiny cap : here we goo... Northbridge : where are you going. huh.. back to place

I worked for a company once who had a standard $15 upfront inspection fee on all jobs, if customer went ahead with repair it was deducted from bill total at the end. On some items if they were considered useful to us as donors and it was likely to be an uneconomical repair we would explain this to customers and offer waive the fee in return for the item.

Amazing repairment.conguratilations.

Que maestro de la soldadura y todo.saludos desde Argentina.

You are the man, fantastic job 👏

Great work Alex!

That look of shock and disappointment when reading the client's note. LOL! Ps. Great work - great channel!

I love your videos man! 😍Amazing!😃

Great Video!! If I need my Electronics fixed, I’m sending them to you. 👍

The customer seems to have been honest with what happened. Which is super rare!

Outstanding work!

Salaam. Amazing as always . Always watch your videos ❤️🇬🇧👍

Best repair! Just remarkable

i enjoy watching your videos i also do repairs i really need to buy some of those tools

Nice job Alex!

Awesome work as always dude. At 12-45 of the video it looks like a missing component and ripped off pads in the top right hand corner of the screen.

😂, I'm actually working on one today. Nice job bro. Cheers

I had to laugh at the level of frustration from the first pause in the video before starting the repair. I've had some like this before and ask myself why am I even bothering, but when it works it's rewarding.

You should definitely do this live on twitch. Nice content

Wondering how can someone dislike a 20 minutes long video that was uploaded just 20 seconds ago😂😂?

ما شاء الله عليك الله يبارك لك في شبابك ويحفظلك والدك والبيج بوس

We did an amazing job: You did all the soldering and cleaning while I watched this video while eating chips

Very useful i love it this type videos, you are awesome men

Great great job. Be blessed.

Like always..... you are the best !!!! 👌👌👌👌🎊

Indeed for microsoldering proper flux and solder is paramount. Do not cheap on them. Or face consequences in form of solder does not sticking to components or flowing over all area where it must not flow. Destroyed several connectors because of bad flux :( Fake chips nowadays indeed are problem too.

Amazing work as always wondering if keeping the switch docked for long periods of time is bad for it I have 2 I barely get to use one in bedroom for game night with wife and one in living room. After watching the charging port issues and no power I got scared kept em off the dock 24/7.

You are the Best. i learn so much from your Videos! Ty so much for this good work, keep it up !

Omg i was just watching one of your video's i just cant stop i love it !

Did the screen also have a crack through it at the end, or a reflection? Good job on the repair as always

Wow great repair 👍

Great job and video like always

oh boy i have the same issue and ordered all the replacement chip i hope i dont shake my hand like this dude :D odd is that i have no shorts at all but it "charges" at 0.2 amps and with a battery which i have loaded externally it works fine and stays on the same percentage (with 15v charger plugged in)

Me: wow,what a great job soldering that USB chip. I wish I could solder as well as that customer. Alex: we'll have to replace that chip.

14:48 love the humor here

ما شاء الله تبارك الله الله يوفقك اخي وتقريبا رآيت كل فديوهاتك ❤❤❤ اخوك سلام من العراق

good job man, what temperature do you usually use in your air station ? the components were removed so easily

Your videos are awesome. Can you tell me what flux, solder, heat temp, and speed u use? Ty 😊

NO YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB AND MUSIC

I've got very good time with this video. One comment is not enough to quote everything I liked from it. But, I wish I could ask you two things, if you allow me. 1 - Is there any "trick" when soldering this micro capacitors? When I try to do like you, seems like my tweezer touch the board before the component itself, and it does not solder properly. 2 - Is there any temp recommended when you do soldering like those caps? I try to keep mine at 350-380 degrees but sometimes it took so much time to melt the solder. Maybe more air? I use 40-50% only because I'm afraid of those components fly to Narnia

I thought Repair is easy but now i know it's not easy for everyone 👌

thank you so much

Well done!

thenks for informasion m92

Amazing job M.r

This is exactly what ASMR videos should look like.

Thanks for sharing,

انت مدرسة بارك الله فيك

amazing work

Great job!

nice work !

Great job 👍

Every time When you say "we did a good job" Im answering yes we did 😂

NorthRidgeFix do you have a video on the basic equipment we need to begin repairing electronics?

So smooth

happy . you made my day. thx

Fluke 87V?? You are the dude.

Artistic!

Please tell me you fastforwarded 10x when replacing the 6 missing components, otherwise it was godly fast donor board swaps. Again thanks for another great upload!

Hello, Can you make a video how to find the right smd capacitor and smd Components please ! Because the smd capacitor there are not any description on it ! Thank you so much for your videos they very helpful ! Best regards,

Great work! Just a question about fake chips...How do we can check them ? Can we test them in somehow manner ?

I know the guy who sent this board is going to be reading the comments, so I have but one question... WHY??? That board screams inexperience; either that or you're using the wrong tools for the job (which, to me, is still a sign of inexperience). As Alex says, don't practice on boards/devices you care about. Practice on dead boards. At least the missing components were noted in the email as well as all work that was done. Glad this one turned out to be a success.

Hello from lebanon 🖐

Kids playing is always good music. When they are quiet....better check!

bravo sir

Hey brother, my sons switch stopped charging. Found out it was usb-c was bad. I sent it to a guy in my town said no problem, he put new usb-c plug on but still don’t power on or get charging symbol. I’m not an expert but from watching your videos I’ve tested a lot of the caps and no problems for m92 or p13. But I do have shorted caps to the left of the usb-c plug by the max777 chip. Also when you flip the motherboard over to the right of the p13 chip there’s a couple caps have shorts. Anyway I can email or send you pics of what I’m talking about and you could quote me about a repair or replacement? Thanks 🙏 also your vids are very inspiring and I’ve learned sooo much!!

Alex, you are the master of bosses👍 you picked the 6 caps like a machine from one board to the other💪 i enjoyed the piano-sounds from your kids at the beginning😂 Very nice job, thats the reason you should never stop trying and keep doing, one day you will get the electronic-stuff back to life
