Awesome, I'm happy to hear it worked!

You're welcome!

Also if possible link a replacement one. I lost my replacement connector

This was a thing with the PS4 also. The PS5 uses two different lasers. One is for DVDs/standard def and one for Blue Rays/game discs.

Yes, I tense up a bit every time I plug one of these in. they are so easy to damage!

I am happy to send you my unit for repair if the purchase of the port is not available. I understand that some information is not given out for business reasons. But I figured it was at least worth the attempt. I know you do great work, I had my ultra screen replaced by you in the past.

Hi Emmit. This port is available either on mouser.com or digikey.com There may be other sources and eventually I'll put them up on my website or Ebay. It's been a long time since I bought them and I don't have the link right off hand. If you search for "vertical micro USB port" you should be able to find one.

If only Sony would allow us access to schematics. It's either a small package capacitor, something obscured from sight, or a component that syncs the heat away too efficiently for you to detect it. This can be challenging to find.

If you see a lot of dust or lint inside it might need further disassembly for cleaning. If the fan is spinning and you've cleaned the cooling system sufficiently then my next guess would be that your thermal paste has degraded or there is something causing the thermal sensor to malfunction or an internal source of excessive heat; possibly something shorted.

Great, glad it was easy!

fixing phones for ppl really sucks where im from bc people will contact me and not go through with the repair even tho all my prices are super reasonable and i need minimum downpayment of the replacement part at least to start repairs now

Yeah, that's a tough one. I still get people that take a very long time to pick up and pay for their repairs. If it is not something I normally keep on hand, I do charge an up front fee as it is considered a special order. Some stores do this with all repairs so it is something to consider. If the customer has some money invested already, they are more likely to follow through on their investment.

No problem, happy to hear she is happy!

I always recommend hot air for the removal, it's much easier! Glad to hear that you found the video helpful.

Do you fix regular switches? Im looking for someone to fix mine, nintendo transfered all my games over except for pokemon because for some dumb reason thats the only game thats not stored on nintendo accounts. I have like 2000 hours worth of data I can’t access anymore, so even if I could just get the switch to turn on, that would be fantastic. I also work in a tech repair shop, I have tried the battery and some other things (cant remember, been awhile) and I found what is possibly water damage but I cleaned it off and it was very minor. I also dont think its a charging IC, as it would have turned on with a replacement battery. We do micro-soldering but when it comes to diagnosing boards and stuff like that it is way above our skill level.

@@chandlerthomas5699 Yes, I repair all variants of the Nintendo Switch. If you need to send something in, please contact me here: gocellphonerepair.com/contact/

@@GoCellPhoneRepair Thank you, Ill save up some dough and contact you soon!

Aw that's the worst. You should be able to order a replacement though if you can't find yours.

@ I actually ended up finding it after an hour of searching (not kidding). Other than that, it was a good and easy experience thanks to your video.

It's never fun but this might help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/ina8mImphciKoKc

Arctic Silver 5 is what I usually use.

I don't know that I ever got to that part. the best thig to do is use your old cable as a guide if possible.

@@GoCellPhoneRepair The old cable and a whole lotta pausing the video was key to finding how the two sensors were folded into their slots. I couldn't get things to stay in place so a micro amount of super glue under the four gold contacts was key to getting things to stick enough to get the camera strap over and the retainer on. Got it...and it works. Thank you for the great detailed video. If you ever edit the video, it would be nice to detail how those camera sensors are arranged.

Ouch, sorry to hear that! How many pads were torn off? Not all of them are required but for the ones that are, micro-jumpers can help although it's not an easy task.

You should be able to purchase a replacement online.

No problem! Glad I could help.

Unfortunately, I don't know the exact specs. I would assume Ohms but as far as the rest I'd be guessing. The PS4 uses 35V 1amp for similar functions so maybe something close to that.

Awesome!

Good luck with the right side!

Glad I could help!

Nice work!

If you mean is it directional? No. It does not matter which way that you install it; there is no left or right.

There are Torx 9 security screws. AKA TR9 although depending on which brand you buy a TR8-10 might work.

Glad it was helpful!

It can be a bit trickier but with patience and attention to detail you'll get the hang of it. Thanks for the kind words!

Nintendo purposely made them terrible so that consumers would buy another switch. Corporate greed.

If you tore off some of the pads they may need to be restored using micro jumper wires. It's not an easy procedure but can be done. Some of the pads are ground/redundant so it really depends on which ones are missing.
