Trying to FIX a Faulty Nintendo Switch purchased on eBay
Hi, this 'trying to fix' video shows me attempting to repair a faulty Nintendo Switch purchased from eBay. The seller listed the Switch as 'unable to charge'.
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.

for some reason I find it comforting that youre not an "expert". Its nice to watch you work it out and solve things on your own.
Can we all just take a min and just admire how nice vince really is

That was a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. I feel like we’ve all grown.
As a previous Nintendo customer service employee, every Nintendo system/product comes with a 1 year warranty that starts the day you buy it so if the system hasn't been damage to unrepaired like broken in two (housing cracks, like small dents or screen scratchers, or like faulty charging issues are fine but make sure you haven't tried to open and fix the system yourself because that goes against the warranty) or as long as it's not water damage then you would get a free repair under the warranty. So, whoever sold this could've gotten a free repair if they would of just called Nintendo instead of selling it on Ebay lol. Just some friendly advice before anyone tries to do the repair themselves if they stumble upon this video.

Chris Adams it looks like its been water damage pretty bad but I would suggest to get a new one or a pro controller. But if the L button is the only one that isn't working then if I was you I would look for spare joy con parts for the left side and do a repair of your own but if you don't have the tools or don't want to bother on fixing it yourself it would be better just to buy a new joy con or controller. I have also seen joy cons being sold that aren't in a pack, so you'll be able to find a left joy con for cheap on the internet. Good luck dude.

Chris Adams you'll be fine, the warranty would cover it if you need a new one and if it hasn't been more than a year. Now if it's been past a year and lets say you already have a replacement battery then you're good to open it yourself, same thing goes for if you don't want to use the warranty.
dude your troubleshooting methods are so correct and your hypothesis about 3rd party docks is dead on. you should go to school and get proper education. you'd be an excellent tech. you actually managed to reach to a proper technical conclusion better than my coworker.
Your method of diagnosis seems so realistic, using the good board to see why it's good vs the bad one.

Good video man, I used to do this for a living and pcb rework is no easy task! I was trained in surface mount repair, through hole and pad and track diagnostics. Hot air removal of IC's was always tricky, always pressure to not damage the board. The difference was, I did this in the late 90s and the components were larger and easier to deal with. The sheer intricacies of modern boards scare the shit out me!
Just found these type of videos and thought, wow, there must be soooo many troubleshooting hobbiests out there! Thanks for this!
Wasn't there a firmware update, to fix some consoles where if you let the battery completely die, It wouldn't charge again? I think Nintendo said that they would fix those for free, even if they were out of warranty.

It's so nice to see you experimenting with things, like opening up device and fixing and learning new things.. So satisfying! I think you could change the chip(s) with soldering iron and with steady hands and being careful. But if you don't wan't to do that try to find repair shop that can do that for you. Like shop where you bring those chips and the Switch and tell em' to replace these with new ones (what you've bought from). Also if that does not interest then just take all parts you can get and start selling them, you could ask good price of them

I don't know why I watch your videos - but I find them very soothing.
No worries, despite what you paid, the experience and knowledge is invaluable in this game. Good work, thank for sharing the challenge!
The moment you realized that the chip being fired would cause every resistor and component to short to ground was just beautiful. As far as the "lost components" they are resistors and have no polarity. However they may be different values.... also some of the solid black ones may be diodes. And they indeed have polarity. if you can find an image of the newer board and get a reading off them then you can re solder them on. Either way beautiful.
Im a novice at rework stations too, but what I do to keep nearby surface mounted components from coming off is kapton tape. I just lay kapton tape on the bits I want to keep around the area Im working so they dont get as hot.

i wouldnt give up on that board Vince those components can be replaced with a bit of practice it would depend on how much a replacement chip is tho. Great video all the same.
Man I could listen to you try to fix stuff for hours.
I'm sure someone already told you, but you're supposed to shield the neighboring components with kapton tape or use a chip-size specific metal shield that keeps the hot air from spilling all over the board.
Good job in diagnosis and trying to find the faulty component....but as you said you'll take a dremel-tool to get the IC loose...i heavily cringed XD XD
Uhf a Tip from a Hoby user ! Never use your hot rework station on things that are still in the console I destoryed an LCD with that on a 3ds board
Check the diode block at the top of the mother board it's the black rectangle with the three legs it will have two diodes in it one going one direction the other going the other. Use the center pin as the reference point. On the blown board one of the diodes is probably open. Just an idea I don't know for certain that the component is defiantly a diode block or not it may be a regulator but what you are seeing sounds like an open diode.
@lawrencewilliams2040
6 жыл бұрын
Just to clarify, the little rectangle black component. With two pins on one side and one on the other.
Does any chip get warm (or very hot) when the console is plugged? Look for Louis Rossmann's video where his coworker fixes an LG enV3 VX9200. The phone won't charge and there are a couple of chips that get super hot. They use a thermal camera but you can just use your fingers, a IR thermometer or something like that. Maybe you can identify if there's something iffy that way.

That chip is definitely been fried probably due to failed hacking. The ground continuity on all of those components linked to that chip is a dead give away that that chip is fried and there is a ground short inside it, but it could be one of those capacitors that has fried and is shorted to ground. You can never know which cap is fried until you desolder them and test them individually. and just so you know. If one cap is faulty and shorted to ground, it will show a short circuit on all the capacitors.
Saw several videos about this problem. And I am happy i did so before i bought anything charging related from another brand. The switch might die if you use non Nintendo equipment to charge it in any way.
I'm very good at soldering and using heat guns, I applauded 👏👏you for trying good work, now I know exactly what chip to go for if I ever come across a bricked switch
Great video, as always. Sucks that it was bricked and that the seller may have been withholding some information. However, as you said, you can use it for spares. I loved the end of the video with the chip. Really felt like you were on to something. Hope you like your new heat gun and soldering iron. I'm sure you'll make your money back long term and, in the end, this was all experience.

I think that's a Bricked Switch, probably got hacked and had its system corrupted in the process and there have been some serious issues going on with the Homebrew scene lately in the past 2 weeks. Some homebrew was intentionally made to brick consoles to who ever try used and sell it has theirs, it without paying for it etc. It would get bricked so hard it would be beyond repair, unless you back it up before it happens.

The board is either a different revision, or made by a different manufacturer for Nintendo. Those resistors you're poking around, the black ones are just that, resistors. Just note- if the resistor has a little square on it, it's considered a resistor fuse. The brown ones are ceramic capacitors. If you have a capacitance tester you can test the capacitance. Maybe the resistors and the capacitors failed closed. Which would most likely damage the chip. Those resistors should give you a resistance reading. You can easily look up the resistance by the number on the resistor. Either way, good luck!
nice attempt, and its nice to see you go till the end and not give up, try looking at head shields for the parts you don't want to heat up. Subscribed ;)

If you didn't lift any pads (doesn't look like it) you can still repair that. Get some good flux, a working replacement chip, and measure the values of the resistors and caps on your working switch. If you kept the parts you removed it's even easier, because you don't have to chase replacements (they are cheaper than hell tho, smd caps and resistors are really cheap). Do put some kapton tape on the other components nearby if you try to do it, that keeps them from being removed by heat. Someone suggested it already but you could look up louis rossmann channel for examples of how to put the working chip back on. Good luck if you do try to do it!
You should bring out a book showcasing some of your best quotes such as "maybe the house was dusty?" and "its not worth dying for a dreamcast" 😂
It's a bricked switch unfortunately... whether that's from someone using an external dock, or if its someone using a fake hack. But I suppose you have new joycons and a new battery. And something to hold onto if the modders come up with a fix.

You can replace those resistors and caps - just measure the resistors on a working board (maybe remove one at a time to check out of circuit). It's not as hard as you think! To remove a single resistors or cap like that, I would use a standard soldering iron and flux the component, heat both sides of the resistor or cap at the same time to remove it. I wouldnt use hot air to remove a single SMD resistor or cap.
The M92T36 chip responsible for power negotiation appears to be broken. The system will not boot or charge when this chip is not working. You could buy a replacement chip online and have it soldered on or you could look up repair services. Tfix does repairs on it in the UK for 100 pounds.

You should definitely try dropping a new M92T36 on those pads and replacing the caps you took off (you can get a strip of SMD caps for a few bucks). The exact value isn't super critical and you may even get away with muntzing a few of them.
Continuity says short to ground on the rail(s) the chip was on. Replacing the chip could fix it, but the problem could also be on the other side of the board, at the solder pad or some deep corrosion within the board (rare). Best thing to try it plug in the board, connect it up and see which chip gets the hottest under an IR camera, then replace that one.

About the bit at the beginning, not knowing what you'll get and taking a chance, it reminds me of unidentified items back in Diablo 2. Once you identified it, unless you got really lucky, it was worth significantly less. These repairs seem like that, where you're better off just selling it as an unknown rather than taking the chance yourself, because everyone else is overly eager to get lucky to the point the price is past what things should average out to. It's like, it's supposed to be that there would be a profit, or at least breaking even, in buying a bunch and selling them for what they're worth, but in reality it's like stock and speculation and just highly overvalued.

Never reuse thermal paste. Never! Reusing paste may allow airbubbles to get stuck between the two surfaces and will result in bad heat transfer You should clean both surfaces with isopropyl alcohol and use a coffee filter as a lint free cloth then apply a similar amount as before of fresh thermal paste with good heat conducting abilities

Got a Switch off E-bay that didn't charge as well. Like yours I didnt get the power supply. The guy told me the power supply was damaged by the family dog so they used a USB "C" cable and a "compatable" charger. As it was they used a 5V standard USB charger. The Switch needs a 15V USB "C" charger to work properly, but it will "play" on a 5V standard USB. I bought a new power supply and flipped the Switch for 3x what I paid.
one of the small pringles tubs is handy for putting screws in when dismantling something and its got a plastic cap which prevents screw loss if the tub got knocked over
