Nintendo Switch Not charging Repair- Motherboard Power IC short 

Fantastic video. I'm based in Australia. My son's Switch charges but won't display on the tv. There's clearly an issue with the unit but it's not under warranty anymore. What could be the problem? I've tested it on other docks and no luck there. Hope you can help Thanks

one side of the caps are connected to ground, while the other side is connected to the chip. Usually, when you have multiple shorts on caps connected to one IC, the IC could be bad. In more rare cases (when dealing with lower voltage lines like where those caps are connected), the caps could be bad. From my experience, I have never came across a switch with an m92t issue that also had a dead cap around it as well. It is possible, but rare.

@@DOverton252 Thanks! Can I ask you something further? Ok and why does it normally beep (has continuity) on one end of the capacitor and on the other not? Which end has connectivity? The negative or the positive one? Or is it not polarized?

Dan Stoian when checking for shorts to ground with continuity mode via DMM, you typically put one probe on a ground point, and test with the other probe to see if what you’re testing is grounded. In this case, only one side of the cap should be grounded (the side that is opposite of the m92t chip). The reason the cap is supposed to only short to ground on one side is because only one side of that double sided cap is connected to ground

@@DOverton252 The chip he is replacing in the video is TYPE-C USB POWER DELIVERY CONTROLLER?

When you're looking at filter capacitors, their job is to dump excess or fluctuating voltage to ground. One side of the cap will be on ground, the other will be on the open line. So in continuity, one probe on the cap, the other on the heat shield which is grounded, one side of the cap will beep, because its on ground. the open side of the IC should never hit ground except in a failure, so shouldn't beep. essentially 2 beeps is bad, and if multiple caps are giving 2 beeps, its not likely every cap has blown, leading to the IC.

I have a question, how the "beep" sound tell if there is a short?

Thank you brother

Not needed in this scenario.

It's a Charging power controller IC. Call it however you like. That's not the point of the video. Don't pick on small things. Any chip that has voltage in voltage out is a power ic.

good video i like it

@@NorthridgeFix thanks

May i also ask 50% airflow? Is your nozzle tip less than 2mm. Thanks

Waste of time

@@NorthridgeFix A waste due to the people who are failing to lead the proper charge towards something that makes sense or waste of time because it is not needed?

It's a waste of time because no one is listening and people who are leading are doing it to get views and showcase themselves. Device makers can always bend the rules even if they supply schematics and original parts. There is always a legal way to lock you out from being able to do a full repair. When time comes where devices are no longer repairable, we move on. If people work more they complain, the world would be a better place. Right to repair will have little impact on humanity considering hunger, poverty, people who can't get clean water, shelters, hospitals, creating job....

​@@NorthridgeFix You should get involved if you have a better idea on how to make it something real. I don't think you should forget about what you do by comparing that piece of legislation to other world problems as you mentioned. I agree it is important but that isn't your specialty or business. The fact is there is a large group of people that care about getting their things working again and it does eliminate waste. When you say you will move on, you lose the battle for not only you but for your customers as well. I think you should reconsider your positioning because if everyone had the mindset to compare something more easily obtainable such as right to repair which does create jobs, against something like world hunger, then little in this life would be accomplished for the people.

I put a charge battery and it turn on but the screen doesn't display only the back white light are on

PI3USB? For me it's usually always the M92T36, it's because of people using 3rd party switch chargers, docks, or cellphone chargers.

@@microgamingrepairs1981 thanks for your quick reply. How can I test that part with a multimeter? Seems that the switches break down a bit

How much is this repair?

He is a Mobile tablet technician

I"m an electrical engineer graduated from Polytechnic university (Brooklyn, NY). But that's not where i learned repairs. It started as a hobby and i learned as i went on. School did give me a strong background to lean on to but did not show me how to repair an iphones or ipads.

Didn't you play Metal Gear Solid?
