Hey everyone. I'm sorry the music is a little bit loud in this video. I'll make sure I lower the volume next time. I edited this on a Mac so I didn't notice it was as loud as it is

@thecod3r I'm still watching this video so not sure of your result yet. But what I have noticed with oleds if you get any weird power issues, the ALJ chip just go the left the cpu can cause very odd power issues. A reflow on this has been succesful for me 4x now. Also, left screw under the battery, take it out, lift bottom plastic up and away, this will make removing the main board and putting it back far easier.
I guess that's the best thing about being in your profession you can fix just about everything and you know it works

Unless I missed it, check the battery? If it's shut down connect bench supply at no more than 100mA until it gets up to 3.8V. Maybe it won't attempt charging until it sees battery voltage?

I could try that but I did try a working battery with 3.8v and it didn't change the symptoms, I just left it out of the video to keep it at 30m :)

There is no choice but to see how far the current is steadily flowing in the energized state. good luck with the repair.
When you reseat the chip and you press on it and the solder blop comes to the side, isnt it flowing from the center pad (thermal dissipater center) and isnt that sometimes makes a short? does wisking it away or solder tip it with flux isnt the blob still connected under the chip?
Had my first OLED the last days and it was very water damaged. After lots of cleaning, reflowing and reballing I still had the same problem as your switch. The small 9-pads IC on the backside of the battery-connector did solve it! Gave this one also a fresh reball and the switch started even fast-charging right away! Maybe this can help someone.

Is inductor by bq all ok ? I had a switch taking no charge, replaced m9, bq then realised the inductor was open circuit some how. It sort of just snapped off the board when removed like it was corroded internally Phill 😃

Freeze the board with tin air then put power to it and see if anything get hot just a option
@TheCod3r
Жыл бұрын
It would be usually but in this case it wouldn't work because the board wasn't drawing any current, so it wouldn't heat anything up
I'd check those SMD capacitors they sometimes short when they fail.
First off I like how your production skills/quality is going up with the little on screen notes and stuff. Doesn't seem to slow your post output at all :). However the day you put in jumpcuts I'm leaving.

The nvidia chip in the switch is the same one as the nvidia shield tv uses

Are you going to change the port? Possibly the the pins internally shorted in the port because it was acting funny when you flipped the connector.

Maybe if I get it to charge a battery but it doesn't seem to be the port at the minute. If I can get it to charge I'd definitely replace it though

are you sure nintendo haven't put one of those sneaky fuses on these?, this switch is behaving just like the ds lite. they would be just like this when the protection fuse was blown.

me too, but I didn't because I messaged the seller about this, and another oled. it pop up under a similar seller name, same location. but he said he was only selling one. so I smelt something fishy. and didn't buy. as for the motherboard needing the screen connected it doesn't, just the battery, the same as the old switches, I know this because when I replaced the WiFi chip. I had the pcb connected to the dock with only the battery and antennas connected.
