This Nintendo SWITCH was Sent to TEST ME!!! 

Spoiler Saver and 2 interesting completely useless facts One single teaspoon of honey represents the life work of 12 bees. It’s impossible for you to lick your own elbow (I guarantee you will immediately try that)

Great video, Vince! Glad you resistor-ed the temptation to give up on this one! 😅

Fantastic job!!! That was really resisting repair! Love the reaction on success lol

It's amazing how far you've come with your repairs. I remember tuning into you when you were first starting out and to think of what you can now do. It's very impressive.

Great work 👏

Great fix, really goes to show how far you've come. You are now a switch repair expert 😎

What an absolute JOURNEY mate. Well done! ❤❤

Switch killer he says... Please... more like Switch whisperer.

And Vince proofs once again that he has overcome the dark, cold days as the "Switch Killer"

I don't care what anyone says. Vince is absolutely an amazing technician. To all those people who call him "switch killer" I'd love to have seen them troubleshoot this.

Vince the problem with the fan was actually a bad Bearing

Great to see these vids, glad you found what was wrong! Can we please get a link (and/or it's name) to that USB-C port plug-in port tester thing you showed being used to test each pin @19:08? Thank you!

Fantastic fault-finding, Vince - your perseverance is exemplary. All of that from that one tiny resistor, though? "It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing."

Can you please do trying to fix a faulty fisher price ocean wonders aquarium from 2002?

I think the weird reading you were getting on the last resistor was due to the small voltage that the meter puts out, when reading ohms, might have been switching the "mosfet" on and off creating that fluctuating ohm reading. Just my guess anyway thank you for another wonderful video

Great Job Vince 👍 Persistence paid off. Funny how it's usually just 1 tiny component that stops it from working. I just had the same with a SSD I just repaired.

Vince just a couple of tips for you. when soldiering IC use more flux, then the chip will pull into place. Secondly when cleaning the circuit board do not quench it with IPA the rapid change in temperature can cause ceramic capacitors and other components like IC to microfracture, always allow the circuit board to cool down first. I see many RU-vidrs do this and it's not the correct way.🙂

Allah is the greatest he's the king no son no companion whatsoever, to be sincere i can worship that son u talkin about if u gave me the specific verse from the Bible, Jesus is just a messenger pbuh, Allah is the most greatest with his glorious praise him

"I'm gonna have to come back to this tomorrow." Famous last words wherein 5 minutes you go right back to it cause it shouldn't be this damn hard to figure out 😂.

Repairing Nintendo switches are more like. ...The Power of Christ compels you! (Re the exorcist) Great video mate👍🙂🇬🇧

I love, love, love your enthusiasm when you fix it. Amazing stuff, and a joy to watch. Thanks for the entertainment!

Another Epic episode what with you and @StezStixFix, are you both in competition this week to see who's fix is the hardest? 😅 great job x 👏 👍

that was really fun to watch your absolute unbridled excitement... that feeling is what keeps me interested in fixing stuff..... the joy... Thanks Vince, love your work :)

I got a genuine smile on my face when that charging symbol came on it's why I love engineering it's the puzzle and the simple reward of a little light coming on

This. Nintendo switch. Was. Sent. To. Test. Me. !!!

So glad to see you under the hood again, truly a great Christmas gift.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

I'm seriously impressed by your perseverance. It was also a fun video to watch. It must be especially difficult attempting a repair such as this without a schematic. But tell me, if an electronics shop took an equal amount of time to perform this repair, how much would it have cost? To me, this is proof that handheld electronics like this are in practice disposable items -- keep 'em for the duration of the warranty, and then replace.

I changed a touchscreen from a friends switch and the new touchscreen doesnt work in the middle. Does anybody maybe know if this is likely the new touchscreen being faulty? Anybody has had tbis problem? I feel bad because I want to fix this switch.

Well done sir! You are not the Switch killer anymore!

WOW, just WOW.... I can't imagine how much time this repair took. But the end result is remarkable. Another great video from our mate Vince 🙂 🤘

This was a thriller movie! "The killer is M92!" "No it's the USB port!" "No! It's the PI3USB!" "No! It's the mosfet!"... It was actually that little guy resistor no one takes notice of! DUM DUM DUM!

This one has comparable resilient spirit as the ps4 no display fix, which you ended up fixing the coil in the emi filter. Really enjoyed watching it and congrats!

Great job with that chip Vince. After spending a couple of hours trying to change thumbsticks on an Xbox controller I've figured out the problem. I was using a cheap (under GB£6) soldering iron, when I used my lovely Yihua soldering iron the job was so much easier. Lesson learnt for me: use decent quality tools🤣🤣 The Yihua was £40 and my hot air station was £30, so not silly money, and they both work great.

That's what I love about your videos, you never give up, pleas never give up, it is the best, to see you struggling and finally getting that genuine YES that we all wait for

More Flux mate. Flux IS your friend on bridges and in soldering in general. You could Have tested for bridges on The bottom pins with The breakout board.

Nice fix, Vince :) You can heat the board from under M92 if you are afraid of knocking over some components. And i use a lot of flux to keep it there until the board heats up. That goes for the USBC port, too. Charging issues can also be solved by replacing the BQ chip.

Great job Vince. Proves having a spare around is not a bad idea. Those tiny resistors don't show any signs of physical damage painted black like that. The old through hole types were much easier to spot the damage from overheating, with the manufacturers having mostly used lighter shades of colour. Imo just using the colour black for smd resistors is a poor choice. Probably would be better if they were painted white with black values written on them.

Hi! Like your videos. But i must ask, Where do you get the leaded solder from? I have been trying aliexpress, Ebay, Temu etc, but all of them acts just like non-lead solder..

NO TOWEL THROWN...IN. "IT'S ALIVE. IT'S ALIVE.... So terrific. Great video.

Nice one bud! Really enjoyable video, glad you stuck with it. With that weird multimeter jumping around thing, if you take it off Auto Range I think by pressing the Range button would stop that happening and give you a reading

Congratulation Vince. I would not find the problem. You did a very good search with a brilliant skill. I am jealous 😉👍🏆

Great fix, captivated for 45mins! Love your channel, Vince :)

Considering you have so many boards laying around, this shows this thing was built to a price point with an expected life expectancy to fall out of the warranty window. After it does that, Nintendo goes "Not Our Problem". Granted it was released in 2016, but that's a company that doesn't care. If you gave this to a kid in a certain age range, you probably would just buy another to shut him up when he whined that it was broken. Because he's a kid and that is what they do. And you have invested a lot of money in each game. No one unless they have your dogged determination and talent would bother fixing it. Even if they took it apart and saw the broken caps, resistors, mosfets...... if they don't have the talent, they will have to pay someone who probably wants nothing to do with these things. This stuff is disposable e-waste once broken.

well, even this video provides totally know how - I fell the lack of experience ...but it give me the clue- how to reuse "useless" boards 😊 Ill training on them, 😅 in case that any of them will work again- then the Frankenstein proces will be reported thanks

Very well done Vince 🎉, Considering I had issues seating the M92 chip, there was no way I would have fixed this. Also, thank you for the lessons in your videos, I really appreciate you explaining why things may not have worked when I tried 👍 I may dabble in microaoldering in the future, now that i see where i went wrong 😁

Hello Vince, I’m just wondering what soldering iron you have or have any recommendations on a affordable one to possibly get. Thanks and love your videos.

Just finished GG max effort

Hi Vince. I have a Casio projector which had no problem until I put it away but has now decided to not project nothing. It does power up and I have recently found out it may well be a laser jobbie. Is it something you can make a video from? It would help me out as it was intended to be for my sons new bedroom. Love your videos by the way. Cheers buddy. Andrew

Such a great teacher. I fuck up many boards reading/watchin but you have helped me in logical thought... i still learn from you. but i know your shit hahaha

The new game in our days is not anymore ‚Find Waldo‘, instead it is ‚find the faulty capacitor‘ 😀

Wicked job on repairing the Nintendo Switch and just a question, can you restore vintage hi fi separates amplifiers and receivers?

Great video dude! Well done

We're learning more and more about how the Switch behaves. - What the circuit board physically needs to even turn on - The Initial pathways branching from the USB connector - The video chip with relation to the USB connection - And now, the pathway from the USB power to the fuse to the resistor array to the main controller chip. All of this that took hours, days, to diagnose and rectify, all summed up in one video.

I bought myself a Nintendo Switch and some games as a treat. I really wanted to play Mario Wonder. Well blow me I had a full on seizure playing it. Haven't had a seizure for years. So it's back in the box and in the cupboard, going to wait 20 years and see how much it's worth, or I could take it all apart and have a good look inside. Nice vid.

Anybody have a line on that usb c testing board? Dealing with a ps5 dualsense controller usb port replacement and i think that may help a ton!(i am aware that dualsense ports are almost proprietary and have a host of different issues, but i'm trying to get to the bottom of it)

What a great video Vince. A pure pleasure. Lower the air speed Vince. I work with 15% air flow

Well done Vince!

An Epic Tale! Good on ya, Mate! Hard work will never betray you, and that was a toughy.

No he's out of hiding,it's the return of phantom switch killer of old London town .

So much can be learned from this one video...maybe what you found out will be written for troubleshooting steps based on issue.

Congratulations on fixing the switch. The switch killer has redeemed himself.

I can send you my non docking Switch if you fancy a different challenge hehe Works perfectly just nothing comes out the hdmi side and its a new dock too, very likely one of the filters so not exactly difficult just kinda got my head into a Seiko 6119 from 1971 taking up my time lol

I have a switch that was repaired my son broke the usb c. I had fixed but since will not dock and can not play on the tv. Do you think you could fix it?

Nice strategy laying all the other boards out that the switch killer took care of to show your viewers switch what it's fate is if it doesn't cooperate lol

usb tester clearly shows 0 amps, still surprised it isn't charging 🤔 but you worked it out in the end, good one

I feel so bad to find your frustration so hilarious 😂 that filter jumping counting and you just want to pack it up and send it 😂 Do you know the value of that resistor? Great entertaining video and so happy you made it work!

Have you checked the conplete Board when you got it? We dont see checking you that, so it can be a fault from the repair attempt before with the filter

Hey Vince, have you ever thought of ordering some soldering tweezers? I’ve seen north ridge fix use them and In cases like 17:23 I feel like they could have come in useful instead of using hot air and heating the whole board you can grab and heat only the resistor with the soldering tweezers. It could also come in useful if you’re removing components near plastic parts as you won’t have to worry about melting them with hot air.

👋🏽, can I send you my iPhoneSE water damage please?

Having no thermal compound on that rear shield is no big deal, my V1 does not even have the shield as it has to be removed to fit the mod chip board in, the switch does not have temperature issue's

Vince mate,tell your mrs to keep the noise down in the kitchen please ? Sounds like she is smashing up the dishwasher !

Congratulations 🎉 what a well deserved victory 😊👍🏻💐

“It’s in!” 😂😅

Vince! I love your switch vids. Been with ya since the switch killer 1-2 hour vids. They’re classic. Keep rolling brother.

I just noticed you never made a Switch OLED isn't it?

There you go it's a testiment on not giving up congrats, guess your not the switch killer anymore lol.

have you got a zoom remote control thingy for your camera? would save getting up and down to zoom in each time, (do they even exist?)

You Legend! Fabulous result keep these vids coming

Great video glad you stuck to it to get it working lot of other people would have given up trying to fix it !!!

One of your problems may be that your not using enough flux, a bit like lube you can never use too much

Let’s hope that you’ll get 1 million subscribers by the end of the year, Vince.

Amazing fixes Vince. Your determination was key and this surely helps you in terms of experience for future repairs

Result! You’re perseverance is impressive. Regards from stateside.

As StezStix Fix says, "Get in there!" Great job Vince!

Wow i had the same then where i accidentally soldered the three resistors together, what are the odds? So i noyiced immediately when it happened

Is it just me noticing the fan is barely ever working for you ?

"Ooohyeaaaah. On a blue mat. Gonna wick it all awaaayaaaaah...." Eddie Leadder

Oh how I have missed the Switch content. You're the reason we own them. I also have learned how to make amibos with my phone which is the bees knees.

Wow, what a rollercoaster that was. Your vids are certainly hard to resist.

Makes you wanna check that area everytime you look at them.......

The problems on this board are switching ones.

When you fixed the fan you said it was fan-tastic. Twice.

I don't often give thumbs up but you deserve this one. :)

your Sunday prays are answered praise the techgods 5 stars vince

Brill video, many baited breath moments :)

Great work with the air station, flux and perseverance!

Nice, I love long videos like that. Good work!

well done i admire you for not giving up on that nintendo switch great video

Didn't know you were a Christian Vince?
