😍😍😍 Thankyou!

[@bu56]

What is bro doing here lmfao

[@Viilmo]

Joey's channel is really growing atm and even KZbin themself commented! I see 50k at the end of the year very possible

[@fadedninna]

no way

[@evanwilkins9670]

@@ViilmoI give it 2 months

[@StezStixFix]

Epic fix there Joey, very nice! 👍

[@nickg1688]

Thanks for the Spoiler…

[@ellisgarbutt1925]

​@@nickg1688 no worries 😅

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou mate ❤

[@JohnnyTurnerMusic]

I love both of your content! Wish i had the steady hands for it!

Joey, stripped screws can be removed with Valve Lapping Compound (Course). Fill the hole with the compound and insert the screwdriver and carefully take it out. Its been one of the oldest tricks in the book and definitely worth trying before breaking any plastics. I hope you find this helpful. The compound can be purchased from your local auto parts supplier for approximately $8-$12. It would be nearly a lifetime supply as you don't need much. Have a great day!!!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou! I’ve just purchased some so will give it a test in a future video. Thanks for much for the advice!

[@ajaks7636]

Awesome diagnostics, Awesome repair! With the speaker shorted, it probably blew the output amplifier in the Realtek chip. 😁

[@Cali_Suaze]

Me hearing beeps “ yeah thats a short” Him: “and the short is gone!” Also me: “yeah shorts gone yeah, different beep that time I heard it”

[@n4_ku]

One of your best videos. It's a bit longer that I like, more technical, you didn't give up and the twist in the end made the final result so much more satisfying.

[@fishstickrepairs1834]

Man, you're a Legend ! You are doing these tiny microsolderings like it's nothing. I still struggle with basic microsoldering and you perfected your technique so much. I'm flabbergasted!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou :)

[@eathenalexander2836]

You’ve gotten so good at diagnosing and repairs over the past few years. Truly an inspiration.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou Eathen 😊

[@RetroDadMTG]

You should take a minute and ensure they aren't first gen (unpatched) switches. You mentioned sell price of $100 for that first one, but if it is an unpatched switch. That number for tablet only can be around $200

[@nnighthawk]

Hey Joey, I really like watching your videos lately and today I actually got a tip for you. If you encounter a severely stripped screw, try cutting a slot in it with the disc looking tool of the grinding pen. It should then be possible to unscrew it with a flat head screwdriver. I have so far managed to get every screw out with this method, even severely (and I really mean severely) water damaged, rusty ones.

[@StuP1981]

What a rollercoaster!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Great vid Joey as always!

[@TheIndustrialRevolution]

this is my type of content enjoy the sub man you deserve it :)

[@Dxrkon]

I don't understand how people sell this stuff for so much money? They can't even use it and if they had a warranty, it wouldnt be on Ebay. For all intents and purposes, its worth less than $20

[@CrayCrayslab]

What an interesting problem... You're really smart dude :)

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Just really lucky 😂 thanks 😊

[@semipro9119]

Hey Love watching your videos i have a great passions for electronics and the stuff you do and would love to get into it at some point, you keep mentioning a Phil Decoda? Apologies if i have spelt the name wrong but is it possible for you to link his KZbin page please?

[@notepid]

Awesome video! Perhaps a bit late, but when you test the power at 24:11 it looks like you did not plug the WIFI cable onto its receptor before powering on. It is quite easy to burn the transmitter in any radio if it is being turned on without a load (an antenna). You probably know this by now, but I just wanted to mention it :)

[@konsolemend]

Man loved watching this all the way through what a great video. Was genuinely so happy for you at the end seeing it fixed never saw a nintendo with so many issues before but it made a great video so well done!

[@austrianemotionalman]

WOW! I really would love to INJECT also!!! Besides... 30k views not bad for that niche kind a contant!

[@AnotherDud3]

oh another switch :|

[@TimberTalesStudio]

im not gonna lie, im kinda high (on life) right now and i seen the zoom on your, now realized gloves, and i thought you had some F'ed up hands LMAO

[@moshbv]

Hi, I've won an electric skateboard on an auction, but after it was delivered I realised that unfortunately the battery is not charging. You think I can send it over to you to have a look? It will be a win-win situation : you get more content for your channel, I get my board fixed. I'm also willing to pay to have it fixed. Cheers!

[@Dtr146]

Okay here's the thing. I started out watching your channel and I couldn't get enough because of how you Carry the vibe of an average bloke fixing stuff. Now it's been a while and I've seen you repair enough switches. You don't have to do this. But it would be awesome if just deviated from Nintendo switches for a little bit

[@ck7cu]

Joey my brother....we need to stay away from gambling with Xbox and Playstations LOLOL

[@mouadhkb_]

2 nintendo switches 1/ doesnt recognise joycon solved with some cleaning ipa 2/ it so tricky 1st device have some shorts solved by detecting bad capacitors then some chargin chip went bad and then sound is missing fixed by replacing the chip for it

[@UkdangermanRepairs]

Not even the cod3r impressed me as much as you have in this video. Cracking job mate. I would never have thought to check the memory. 😀

[@lt7895]

Hello, I don't understand why that capacitor having continuity means it has a short? Can someone explain this to me please? I'm trying to learn the basics. Thanks.

[@Samsemillya]

Very nicely done

[@calhoupe]

What a brutal repair! These are the repairs that make you think you can fix anything and then you spend insane amounts of time on a repair that actually can’t be fixed.

[@thecasualfly]

Can someone explain to me e those chips that he removed with heat and soldered back on how that works, how do they make contact back on to the board, most chips have the legs going down that get soldered individually.. thanks for answer my silly probably stupid question in advance.

[@MADNESSwelshmaster]

Don't put iso on screens holy 🙄 use distilled water and a micro fiber cloth plz don't put alcohol on your screen guys 👍

[@Einfach_Dave]

Dame whatever happened to the second switch took 3 Chips and a capacitor across 2 Board with it...😢

[@knifeparty88901]

the real question is with youtube views money and the selling profit money plus all that time, was it profitable? It's a weird stance I know, but as a dog groomer, we can make that amount in about an hour working on a dog lol. just curious if it's worth it or more of a hobby

[@Nardoskills]

Why only 100$ for the switch ? Isn’t that worth more ? Or just cause it’s a repaired model ?

[@doggheadtech]

Awesome fix!! Well played for not giving in ✌️ That 2nd Switch would have driven me insane 😂

[@cristiabc1310]

And this is the reason why USB C is a bad design. Lines crossed on the connector means broken one which must be replaced with increased costs.. So repair is necessary on main device and not simply replacing a cable.

[@LegendConsole]

Not sure parental control matters anymore for switches. You can pay 50 cents now to have it removed by Nintendo.

[@darkestgreenmewtwo]

god replacing all those chips and starting negative, withoutt money from youtube just the hours means this is a major L

[@begames585]

Huge works ! well played

[@mikeallensonntag]

Your very skilled bud. That was not a easy fix. Nice job.

[@R3N4TU5]

earned my inscription and like, i've learned A LOT with this video, thanks

[@Unjustself]

Would you ever consider looking at graphics cards? I have two that light up but no other signs of life

[@yatagarasu1495]

Someone read my comment about the "evaporation" vs "dissolve" :D

[@BartechTV]

You have the patience of a Saint. I'd have flung the damn thing out of the Window after about 15 minutes lol

[@0xHun73r]

Where do you get your multimeter leads? Ive bought a klein multimeter but im not to keen on the leads. The tips are very short. I like yours for easier visibilty.

[@kntwing23]

the problem with these switch monitors..i hate hate the batteries runs out.. even if you are not playing a video game?

[@MuzicFreakNumberOne]

18:19 is there a way to find out what kind of capacitor this is without having a donor device?

[@zackphy]

Damn that Switch was full of issues, wonder how all that happened?

[@kntwing23]

if u fix 2 screens u should keep 1 for yourself? or a family member..even give 1 or me for free?

[@alekz1958]

Persistence prevailed exclemt job Joey

[@williamk52]

i dont care about the repairs, all I know is we have the same screwdriver set :D

[@ATJ211]

Alternate title I bought from dk oldies

[@Arcade_Mania]

Bro please fix the fn delay on the multimeter beep

[@olego3420]

Where do you get the chips from? like the realtek chip?

[@anhhuynh7343]

Yea but how much did it cost to make this video?😅😅😅😂😂😂

[@sneezyferret6482]

Looks like Roger the Bodger has had a go at Switch #2...

[@52egdim]

How does the second switch end up with so many faults all at once??

[@ivo]

If you're using parts from old switches you've already bought then you shouldn't include the costs in the spreadsheet as you're simply double counting and you're math ends up being off ...

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I actually agree. I need to make a change with that on the spreadsheet. Only thing that holds me back is that I have a backlog of stuff from before the spreadsheet.

[@mikecro1111]

2 ohm short, but it's reading through the coil which is 2r2?

[@khaz606]

I was looking at that "heat mat" thinking to myself I've never seen one with circles before, but I've got baking sheets just like that. Took a few seconds for it it click! :) Good idea!! I use them for other stuff too.

[@johndopedo3298]

Great videos, but I wish you listed the items in the titles.

[@sdgx0]

well the first switch was a very fast fix indeed

[@lolPaperclip]

I actually quite enjoy these longer videos! Keep it up bro.. I wouldnt look at it as losing profit, more like you are paying for knowledge :P

[@HassanSanem]

Wow i just randomly came acorss this video, it's really good i couldn't stop watching

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Welcome :)

[@littletommy16]

GREAT Matrix reference!

[@gamingportal397]

If someone with basic knowledge wanted to learn more about this kind of work what would you suggest to do? Take a class or just watch youtube to learn?

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Honestly just watching plenty of videos on KZbin! I learned best from video :)

[@HistoryChannel80]

What a hell going through! 🙈💪

[@igikloppers]

Nice steady hands, well done

[@dannycore8221]

Good job you need so much patience plus steady hands for this type of work plus a decent microscope lol hod much was all you set up when you started

[@JoeyDoesTech]

When I started I had nothing and was doing DS Lite repairs :)

[@michaelfoley3075]

Such a real experience... Crazy how it works.. one switch not even broken and the other has so many issues its crazy. Well done sir. Happy to subscribe

[@EinGamer22]

The Realtek chips that begin with ALC are usually Audio chips. If it would be RTL than it's a Networking IC.

[@h.celine9303]

That was a wild ride! I only work on SFC/SNES, GB(C) and DS Phat/Lite/i (so far) and I can't imagine having to troubleshoot so many tiny things :D

[@lemagreengreen]

Now that IPA trick is neat!

[@riparaggi]

Amazing job. Never give up Joey but a switch like this is a pain in the...

[@dadwillfixit1907]

Great work Joey amazing find on that emmc 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👊🏻

[@TheSpotify95]

That 2nd switch was crazy, just how much work was needed to get it fixed! A lot of people would have probably given up on it...

[@Gabriel2.0]

amazing fix! I love your perseverance!

[@thesmith7980]

I need help with my xbox

[@markiieee]

Loving the series, any advice for someone wanting to learn how to do these repairs on this scale? I've started doing some basic repairs like joystick replacements and a charger port or two but I want a better understanding, maybe even to change career since I'm not happy with what I'm doing now

[@gokusupersaiyan6]

Best episode yet!

[@linuxares]

Sk Hynix (aka. Toshiba) are known to be crap.

[@twinsen04]

But the chip was fine, just the cap next to it failed.

[@collyboy187]

That seccond switch was a roller coaster. I was rooting for you and fair play, excellent fix!!!

[@kntwing23]

i hate numbers..

[@kirimasu5179]

Amazing fix, thank you. Really enjoyed it!

[@NowInAus]

Nice! So great that the Cod3r jumped in to help out. Lovely happy video. Good on ya

[@williemorales1252]

I love your hoodie. A throwback to your intro from your earlier videos.

[@lycan5877]

That pop at 25:11 was heartbreaking but you got the job done. Nice work.

[@Xtrafix2015]

Good job!!👍👍👍👍

[@foxdata]

If you use a brush of some kind, it can help to get all the flux off during cleanup.

[@B9NE]

You can use a 1k resistor to test the battery as well. Major drop in voltage is bad.

[@Trucam2020]

Great repairs

[@markg.3171]

Yay losses 😂🎉

[@theawfulgambler]

Great fix!

[@kimng7736]

very nice content the only thing that you can do to improve is add the amount of time spent and calculate based on the medium cash per hour someone charges to do that job 👍

[@MrClean00y]

Christian?
