That's an involved disassembly for a port repair. Nintendo like to make things hard. I've got to do this for my nephews. I got all the gear just didn't know how to take it apart without damaging it, so thank you.

I dont know much about system designing but all that complicated stuff made it impossibly thin for a gaming console. Gotta give the some leeway sometimes. It's not like they purposely made hard to repair, its still doable and not like apple that dont want you repairing any

I need this repair on my my switch lite, I didn’t even have it long before the charging port was damaged.

Great job

Yes this can also cause no power if the port doesn't solve it or if the pins touch it can short the M92T36 chip.

Hello, thank you for you video, I will attempt to repair a switch lite that was neglected.

Great

3:30 So you set your temp to 225C and rested the heat wand directly on the USB port? What was your fan speed set to? Low or high volume air flow? Can you explain a bit more about the infrared heat from below? Is the heat from below necessary?

Hi, I used a rework station with heat profiles, so it regulates a steady temperature at around 225/230 °C. The bottom heat is not necessary with these boards because they are small, but it helps.

Hi what tools do you use to heat the top and bottom like you show in the video?? You make it look so easy with those tools :) I need to find what they are

Do you mean the traces have come away copper tracks if so you will need to retrace these to the port.

Would a 350C/662F heat gun be too hot? It has two air flow settings, but nothing to change the actual temp.

You could use it to remove the port just be very careful and hold it away not to close to the board look for the solder to liquify then lift the port, however it would be best to manually solder a new port back on with a soldering iron.

Hi Thank you I use around 225/230 c

At 1:55 you remove the component by what looks like a ripping motion, and in the latter part of the video, you don't show yourself putting it back. How did you put it back? Did you use thermal paste there too or is the connection mechanical? There are a lot of comments asking about flux and heating tools, but exactly what thermal paste do you buy? And lastly - If I HAD to do it with either a soldering iron OR a heat gun, which would you recommend of the two? Thanks in advance, and great video overall!

Hi Thank you for your comment a good thermal paste to use is Arctic Mx4 I think the ripping part you mean is when I'm removing the heatsink this is stuck down to the fan. You would be best to use a heat gun on low settings to remove the port however I have never used one for this type of repair If you do use a heat gun i would suggest turning the board over and let the port fall out with little pressure just to make sure you don't damage any solder tracks.
