I Purchased a CHEAP Faulty Nintendo Switch | Can I Fix It?

I paid £40 for this faulty Nintendo Switch. The condition is pretty good considering the price, however it doesn't turn on! Can we use our expertise from previous jobs to fix this and sell it for profit?

New addition to the family and a rescued switch, you're winning in life this week Joey mate

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Indeed I am! :)

[@Allious131]

Aye that beat though at 7:00 slaps hard asf

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Agreed, love that one 😌

[@midnightmodding4658]

Solid channel. Love it. Hope you keep growing, mate! Every time I see you do one of these fixes, it reminds me how terrible my soldering skills are 😂

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Haha Thankyou so much!

[@jonathanmartin3375]

Great work, and congrats on the newborn JDT employee!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou! :)

[@GinandTronics]

id personally clean the left pins on the switch rails, as it still looked intermittent to me. good work as always.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Good shout! :)

[@KingPinTheBowler]

For those who don’t know Joey has a second channel called Fast Fixes and it is mainly a youtube shorts and it has about 80 subscribers but this channel has thousands and I want to get his other channel at least to 1k in subs

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I think I’ll be moving the Shorts over to this one soon 😊 we’ll see though bud, Thank you :)

[@virgildeklerk]

Wow nice find and fix ones again Joey. I think the first chip you replaced was faulty and the soldering on the chargeport looked perfect. Keep up the great content 👍

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

Great job! Clewn swaps and let's gooo! Thank you for the good entertainment.

[@richardbriansmith8562]

Awesome Video Joe does tech

[@Mymatevince]

Great video Joey, nicely done👍

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou Vince ☺️

[@SteveandFrankie_YT]

nice work joey 👏

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks Steve!

[@DJChol]

At 6:20 you say "that side is fine" but for me it seems that the two rightmost pins also do not look ok. (the side with the 3 yellow caps next to each other)

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I agree with you :)

[@Finditfixitphilipit]

Tip for you joey when doing M92 . Pre tin the ic then you won't have to worry about connections as will flow perfectly first time

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Great shout bud, might give that a go.

[@Finditfixitphilipit]

@@JoeyDoesTech will make your life alot easier that's for sure. Any ic you replace always pre tin. This way you can be sure that the solder on the pads will adhere to the pins

[@deanwalkington6165]

Another great fix Joey. Any chance of move videos? Maybe your busy . What about a video revisiting some of those old switches you tried to fix, just and idea loving the content bud thanks

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Hey Dean :) I would love to make more videos, but I’ve been so busy lately that I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss a Saturday, so I scheduled a lot of Saturday videos :) Maybe in the future I will go back to two a week once things have settled a bit for me :)

[@dakwill380]

Great fix awesome as always joey

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Legendary as always Dak, thanks bud :)

[@samuraivader3814]

First repair I did for a switch was the usb-c port. I damaged the pads a bit fighting some solder but it all worked out at the end.

[@chrisstephens7901]

Great job joey! Champion bruv

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks pal :)

[@MicroMageRepair]

Sitting here talking to my screen "Why is he testing with the port still on", You came around to it but made me laugh at my own reaction 😂 On QFN chips you do not need to join the solder to the alignment points on those chips. They are just for alignment. If it is flat and aligned your connected. Might save you some grief down the road. It looks sexy but it's not worth the risk of bridging caps, or knocking them IMO.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Hahaha sometimes I actually have you in the back of my head when resting whilst the port is still on! That’s made me giggle. Yeah, I think the ocd side of me likes the thought of it looking sexy all the way around to be honest, but good to know they don’t have to be connected :)

[@rafaelc7757]

Nice soldering job!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thankyou :)

[@edwinli2986]

Great stuff, good news all around!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks bud, hope all is well with you :)

[@SlingshotGamer]

Awesome fix!

[@frozerinosrepairs]

Great work - video as always :)

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks Froz :)

[@K.P.Alexander]

Nice job, my man! Almost second nature to you now :)

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Slowly but surely :)

[@EkosFoxLeviathan]

I love a good thermal pasta🤣. Good job man!

[@GoodwinsPlace]

Nice fix. Does the chip blow from the bad pins on the charge port?

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks bud :) I think it's a big possibility that it's what blew the chip :)

[@soulmourne2698]

I think the issue why switch charging ports fail is couse people uses phone cheap charging usb c cables and they break the port down, yes it is tedious to remove the psu from the dock every time you want to play in portable mode but the port is gonna be much more reliable if you do it

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I agree, although it is a pain to keep moving 😂

[@agentmike2222]

It seems the connection (last 2 pins on the right) on the other side of the chip was dodgy also. at 6:19 So was it necessary to replace that chip again?

[@dreamspec1662]

That M92 is "Better than factory"

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Coming from your Dreams that means a lot 🥲

[@robert79513]

Good work. But your soldering iron is not so good. I recommend you OSS T12X soldering station.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I am looking for an upgrade soon I think :) I also need to upgrade my bench

[@pred5258]

Good work there. Think you are ready for some new gloves. 😀

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Believe it or not they are the second pair haha

[@treenamcgowan7652]

Nice job! The curse seems to have been lifted!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Ooo I don’t know yet Treena 😂 When I think I’ve got them down, something always happens!

[@DjPon9173]

Fixing broke switch u can make nice buck and how much did cost extra for the replace chips?

[@JoeyDoesTech]

It depends on the chip :) some of the caps are around 10p sometimes even less. M92 power chip can be £7 depending on where you get it from :)

[@xboxgaming5307]

I've a iPhone se 2020 no touch brand new screen think Joey could fix it

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Not really worked on iPhones before :) I don’t take customer repairs yet unfortunately either :( Thankyou though!

[@Neolite87]

What flux and solder tip/station do you use?❤

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I use Weller 60/40 leaded solder and Kingbo RMA 218 flux :)

[@Neolite87]

Which model @@JoeyDoesTech , I’m looking for recommendations, I’m branching out to repairing consoles too and looking for a good quality solder station 🙈🙈 The weller 1010 got my eye atm, do you know it?

[@JoeyDoesTech]

@@Neolite87 ah sorry I misread! I use a TS100 which has done the job well, but I’m looking at either Hakko or Weller next :)

[@Neolite87]

I was recommended not to buy it, due it being “china-wear”? It works fine on screen when?@@JoeyDoesTech

[@Rodox2k10]

I know this video is 11 months old and I can see you aren't using a board holder. Dude, get yourself one. It'll make replacing some chips much easier.

[@andreastojov1648]

If don’t “beep” correctly maybe is the battery of your multimeter that is not good

[@sestnastka]

what is wrong with serial number bigins "XKJ" ? edit: ahh, isue with hacking, is patched...

[@nickjeffrey8050]

Hack it
