Viewers Sent Me These 5 BROKEN Nintendo Switches - Extended Version - Some of these needed some advanced fixing! Between bridged capacitors, crooked chips, and one Switch being in pieces, there was a lot of repairing to do. Let's see how many we can get working again!

1:20 The reason you have to push in so hard is because they aren't Phillips screws they are JIS screws which are mildly different sized. Phillips will work, but if you never want to worry about stripping again start using the JIS bits(which are in the Pro Tech Toolkit; it's the row of cross headed bits on the 3rd or 4th row from the top, marked with J000-J1). Edit: It should be mentioned that all Japanese electronics use JIS screws, and will wear much less if the correct bits are used.
@ryanfromthecarwash
@ryanfromthecarwash 2 месяца назад
Thanks! I've always wondered if there was much difference. Considering Japanese electronics are just about the only thing I tinker with, you probably just saved a lot of screws from eventually being stripped out LOL

One of the most devastating feelings I get when repairing stuff; is knowing I spent a lot of time, from hours to sometimes days, trying to fix something. Only for it to still be broken in the end. Also, one of the most satisfying things is spending a lot of time on something and it being fixed. One saps your moral, but the other gives such a good high and great feeling of satisfaction combined with knowing that time was justified because it's working now. Unfortunately, I've experienced the former more times than the latter haha. So glad you were able to fix that "modded" OLED switch.

@michaelburns4020
@michaelburns4020 2 месяца назад
ALL mod chips use those locations. Doesn't necessarily mean it was a picofly. They all need dat0 (under the emmc on the other side), cmd, clk, gnd, +5v, and a flexible cable with resistors soldered to the apu, for glitching the boot process. Oh, and reset.

Tying a switch from a rent to own….um…put 50 bucks aside per paycheck and in about a month and a half or so depending on how frequently you get paid, you can just buy a Nintendo switch from Walmart for retail. I contemplated furniture from one of those places once, and after tallying up the costs I realized buying the item outright was ten times cheaper.

Fantastic info as I have a couple of extra Switches with “issues” 😆 One does an odd thing where 1 joy con doesn’t work when attached to the rail, but works when bluetoothed. Just you showing how you strip down, and diagnose really helps! Hope you’re feeling ok too.

5:30 why if one capacitor is shorted is no biggie but if the other one is is unrepairable?
@yvesgarcia
@yvesgarcia 2 месяца назад
I'm not sure but I think the repairable one is shorted due to a faulty chip that is cheap and easily replaceable. Those other ones are shorted due to a faulty CPU, a much more expensive part and technically hard to replace.
