This Switch is in pretty bad shape! The USB-C port has been completely ripped off the board, so it obviously doesn't charge and doesn't dock. It's going to need a new port and some teeny tiny trace repair.
Let's try and fix it!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve
PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

Another great fix. Not far off 60K now Steve. Soon be at 100K and its totally deserved. Couldn't have happened to a nicer fella.

@jasedobson2793 Год назад

I agree Steve for prime minister!😀

@StezStixFix Год назад

Thanks RB! 👍

@amm9387 Год назад

1000% 😅 agree! Really Nice mate with great content. PS: "Our" Steve needs more views to get more £ to buy some Louis Vuitton cat protection gloves ehehe 😁. Btw when can we see the perpetrators of those crimes 🐈🐈😄

@MrMurMC Год назад

@@StezStixFix Sorry on the double post I messed up a bit as I'm not the greatest with RU-vid lol. Love your channel though as you are very enjoyable to listen to and watch solder as well!! I have a question : do you take requests if someone had a console and the parts and wanted you to do an upgrade or mod? I have a few consoles here but I had one in particular where I have an og xbox and was hoping to do a cap replacement as some are bulging but I suck horribly at soldering lol. So I was curious if I could send to you to do for a Future episode? If so let me know and we and can chat and thanks for your time mate!!

Damn, who would treat Switch like that, it's so dirty and messed up. Good fix, Steve!

Steve , your humor is absolutely awesome. I love watching you , you could be fixing a broken shovel and I would watch it . Keep up the the great content !

@YoJoeDizzle Год назад

Don't let anyone put you down over your singing! I love it man!

@guxtavo14 Год назад

4:49 "that look when you can't accept the compliment" - your singing is not perfect, granted, yet we all somehow appreciated that unexpected rap because it felt wholesome and that's were the singing compliments come from

@ChristosKaps Год назад

Ι'm here for the singing. Seriously, though, love the good spirited approach, the humor and it's always nice seeing a battered console coming back to life.

@SixtyDoesStuff Год назад

I adore your enthusiasm. Well done, Steve, because that looks like a well worn device that someone has used quite a bit, haha. Even that screen protector is looking rough.

@StezStixFix Год назад

😁 yeah, this was one well-used device that's for sure! Hopefully it'll give the owner a bit more use out of it now... 👍

Your videos give me confidence to repair more things than I thought were possible. And they are fun at the same time. Keep it up Steve.

@richardockwell4198 Год назад

I have watched so many of your videos now, I find them absolutely brilliant. I had a Nest Cam with a broken micro-USB port, came away from the board. Sat there for a year or so, with a view to one day fix it. After watching your videos, I got myself a microscope and a decent solder iron set, and copied what I have watched you do so many times. The nest cam powered up last night, and I am super chuffed. Thank you so much for your content, my only wish is that you could bring videos out faster, because I cannot get enough of them.

Nice Fix Steve. Well Done! If you want to see TINY wires you should have a look at the vintage Ramtex Space Invaders game I just repaired. I had to solder the gold bond wires from an LED chip die back to the traces of the PCB. It was quite intense!

@KarnageGaming Год назад

Honestly your singing is a highlight of the video for me. Your content is direct and to the point. It shows alot of what u need to know in order to do it yourself. And the singing just helps u stand out from other videos. Quiry enough to be interesting. Not so great youd ever win an award but not so terrible u want to rip your ears out. A good balance.

@dadwillfixit1907 Год назад

@BGPhilbin Год назад

New subscriber, here. I'm very much enjoying these videos. I find it interesting to see your process of figuring things out and increase your skills along the way. I looked to see if you'd done anything with my favorite console, Sega Saturn, at any point, but was saddened to learn that you hadn't had any come up. I've avoided fixing my power problem with mine for a couple of years now, but it appears that there is a good kit from the UK that does the job (which is also used widely here in the US). I'm just too chicken to do it, so I'll probably just sell my setup on eBay. Continuing to cull through your library of videos and haven't found a dud yet!

@freakazomb Год назад

new way to judge how well a repair went, 1) take a shot for every "nice" and then 2.) evaluate consciousness at end of video

@magnuslehohn3371 Месяц назад

Your tech skill is mad impressive. Thanks for showing me what I’d be getting into trying to repair my own port. Was wondering how to get the traces to reconnect (never seen a heat gun used for that). Also haven’t seen flux in that form (cuz I’m a soldering noob). Got some learning to do then I’ll try this most likely.

Nothing is more satisfying to me than giving a dead a given up on console/game a new life. About two years ago i found a Nintendo DS in the dumpster.
