I have to say, over the course of the past two or three months, I've been watching more and more of his videos, and sometimes, he's able to do what he did here, and other times, he's unable to repair the devices, and they have to be used for parts. However, the one thing I appreciate above all is his thoroughness. He really looks at each problem from every angle, until he's ruled out all possible causes. It really makes these videos enjoyable to watch, b/c you never know how far he'll have to go to fix one of these consoles, but regardless, he'll do whatever it takes to either fix the problem, or understand what's wrong w/ the consoles he's unable to fix.

[@underneathsky]

"I have saved another device from the landfill" I think that phrase is more powerful than anyone can think at the beginning, true to the core you are saving a device by fixing it. Great jokes, keep it up! Cheers to you and your family!

[@Sera12105]

EXACTLY! It's amazing how much stuff we just throw out that's totally fixable with a little time and dedication! Saving the devices, and the Earth

[@themoo_spl]

I never even thought of this until he said it! It makes the magic he does 10x more satisfying when he manages to fix it!

[@3nd3rn1ght]

One of the biggest problems of today is E-waste, so I'm really happy that you show people that things can be fixed. Keep up the great work.

[@Nogarda_]

"It's automatic at this point", just like hitting the like button. :p Must admit when I think water damage I half expect it to be a complete disaster, but that was just a simple clean and battery replacement overall. Like that your sponsor made sense for your content too.

[@Tronicsfix]

[@herrakaarme]

I feel like the price was pretty high for a known liquid damaged (one of the worst types of general damage) and non-booting Switch. It's more than 50% of the price of a brand new device straight from a store. This was a device that would be a total goner for a person without fixing skills, equipment, and spare parts (the battery), which ought to be why it was sold in the first place. The seller was really lucky you could use a patient just like this for one of your videos!

[@Tronicsfix]

If you look at solds on eBay it's actually a decent price. That being said, I don't have to always try to get the best deal. I buy these to make videos about how to repair them. If I was just buying to fix and resell then price would play a bigger role in my buying decisions.

[@oscarhansell3158]

Bro this mans a legend

[@Tronicsfix]

Hey thanks!

[@asmodeusml]

$175 is kind of an exorbitant price for a liquid damaged Switch given that it can have bad screen, bad battery, bad controllers, fried SoC (or entire motherboard) and be irrepairable.

[@hgrm4310]

now that he fixed it tho, he gets to play all the previous owners games for free, and he got the sandisk, some free joy cons, and if he wants he can sell it for retail price.

Great video as always, helps to flow some IPA down the back of the battery to loosen the battery adhesive so you don't have to bend the battery pack as much. One thing that would be sweet is that when you do board work could you mention the hot air / soldering iron temperatures, & tip/nozzel sizes? This kind of info is invaluable for those of use attempting repairs ourselves. Thanks again.
