Hi, in this video I attempt to repair a Nintendo Switch with numerous faults. It was sent in by Mike from 1up Gaming. It doesn't power on and it doesn't charge even with a replacement battery. Let's see if it can be fixed.
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things.
I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series.
Many thanks, Vince.

On USB-C, the CC lines are used to detect the orientation of the plug. The chip you call a "video chip" is actually a USB3 multiplexer chip that's used to route the signals to one set of pins or the other.

I can easily imagine how tricky that solder work can be. Glad you persevered. It is stuff like this that teaches you the most. Good job. Now seeing all these videos makes me want to go back and finish one of my early learn to solder projects which was a little radio. I don't remember how I did it but I lost one of the pads but now I see so many of you showing how to run wires and I am working with the old through hole components that soldering should be a cakewalk compared to what you just accomplished.

Vince, thank you. I bought a faulty NS that had a faulty charge port, upon removing the old charge port, the whole bottom row of solder pads were missing, so I just put a new charge port on it and thought *sod it, aslong as it charges*. But with it being an unpatched version, I know it has slightly more value than a patched version. Anyways, I've got all 12 bypass wires on the hidden pins of the charge port, tomorrow I will fit it and hopefully I'll have a fully working charge port. And thanks to you, I know where to solder ALL those bypass wires now. I did use an old NS board with all pads intact, just to double check, and you're spot on. Thanks again. 👍

Hey Vince, love your videos. I have several switches that all have the same problem. They work as handhelds but cannot dock just as you describe. I have a feeling I will need to copy your diagram and run wires from the hidden pins on the USB to their spots on the board. Looks to be a 10/10 difficulty fix but seeing your job at the end gives me inspiration. Cheers!

This was so satisfying to watch. It’s crazy how far you‘ve come over the course of your ‚trying to fix‘ videos! It‘s super encouraging to see. Is there some kind of open source database where people submit their pinout/trace finding on the switch? It would be cool to get proper schematics going.
