I swear these videos are therapy to me. I have panic disorder and when I load these up. the soothing voice and the calmness in the nature of these vids is just help ground me a little. I am so happy I found this channel. Don't worry about the length of the vids,Vince. Take the time you need to fix something that you are willing to try doing. Thanks again and good job fixing this switch!

That would've been my first guess, the corrosion acts as a resistive element and this alone could explain the irregular power consumption... 9 out of 10 times when i see a battery compartment filled with corroded crap, that is going to turn out to be the cause of my problem.

Tried my best to look through so i didn't recomment it but for the thermal paste it's good to clean off the old and put on new mainly because it has already been spread out and when you place the cooler or shield back down there is bare spots/air pockets that reduces the effectiveness and plus usually what the manufacturer puts on there isn't that good. Also for the switch no don't need more then a pea size dot if even that. Hope this helps you understand better, Great video as always!

This was a fantastically relaxing and informative video to watch! Love that you took your time and meticulously went through every possible fix, slowly notching up the difficulty with each successive 'what-if-it's-this' scenario. It was great that you had the other known-good Switch on-hand so that you could test everything from the damaged one to be absolutely certain what worked and what didn't. That's the kind of fastidiousness that I appreciate! You've got yourself a new subscriber, Vince! I'll be on the lookout now for a broken Switch in my area. Might be worth giving it a shot. Will start binge-watching your older vids and I look forward to what's next! Take care!

Definitely not trying to say what's 'right', but in my 2 years of professional experience (~6 years 'non-professional') plugging a known liquid damaged electronic into a power source is a usually bad idea. Any remaining liquid inside the device that got shifted around could potentially fry even more surface mount components. I would always immediately disassemble and clean off all of the corrosion, residue, and any remaining liquid.

@Valt青 The corrosion would still continue since the battery does apply power to the circuit while liquids are present thus potentially harming more ICs or other components. And a battery is indeed capable of starting a fire if it discharges too quickly, e.g. the positive shorts to ground via a corroded capacitor or something, common failure by corrosion.

Vince ,Can i give you some suggestions ? I am no pro but have some experience. For contact cleaner use Deoxit d100 also use a little on oxidation on ribbon cables don't scrub them you have the risk to damage them more. Never try to repair ribbon cables with solder it is a total waste of time . Don't set your solder iron temp higher then 50 °C above the melting point of the solder you use. 300 to 350 is more than enough otherwise you risk damaging the tracks and the parts you try to solder .I see in some of your videos you set your temps to 400 and above no need for that ,same with the heat gun and if you have big groundpads heat the whole board in a oven to a 100°C but first set your solder iron to 100°C and test all the plastic parts that you can't get off like the plastic in the usb socket and the connectors from ribbon cables etc. You have a ultrasonic cleaner use that before trouble shoot for hours ,after cleaning with the ultrasonic flood it with IPA to get rid of the cleaning solution and moisture blow it dry . It is a lot safer than scrubbing .

@@AttilaTheHun333333 It is maybe some generalized advice but i wrote this in the first comment "I see in some of your videos " and i particular refer to the repair on the PS Vita when he charred the pcb trying to get the solder out of that one hole ,just leave in there put the new usb socket in place re melt that solder so the ground pin would snap in place and solder the rest of the pins on lowest heat possible ,would save him a lot of hassle and frustration . He can take this experience to his next projects. This is not criticism but some advise from a 49 year old who can be wrong to but is never too old to learn new things (better not faster ).like your advise on the fiberglas pen. Thank you for that Attila TheHUN. That is what the comments are ,to help each other ,to learn ,but sometimes that is forgotten and comment sections are full of rude shit.

Yeah and NEVER use lead-free solder - get the real stuff - 60:40 tin/lead rosin core. You can get it easily on ebay cheaper than your local hardware shop will sell you the crappy unleaded stuff. Lead free solder has a higher melting point and a more corrosive flux which effectively adds up to built-in unreliability. Go check out Big Clive to hear his opinions on lead-free solder...

Nice fix! With water damage, current from The battery will take the shortest distance which is why it causes so much damage. It also corrodes parts as there’s a reaction between current and water which is more than likely why that battery connector was in such bad condition. Also look for discolouration on caps with water damage as this can give you an idea of where issues will be coming from with water damage. And a tip, don’t use metal tools with batteries, if you puncture it they have a very bad habit of catching fire very quickly ( I’ve known people to have fires from these ) . Keep up the great videos!

Thank you so much for this video. I just bought my Switch when the pandemic started and that was mid April. Mother's day evening i accidentally dropped my Switch in water, in the sink with some water in the sink. I rescued it right away, dried what I could, wiped it a bit for sanitizing with "METHOD SPRAY" on a paper towel... (I did not spray it directly). I flipped it over after 45 mins of drying to see & feel some drops of water that stayed in on the blue joycon side. I was able to charge it, red joycon was read but blue joycon was working only by wireless. My husband asked what happened, I told him I watched your video to learn a bit on how to read the joycon function.. he immediately took the Switch from me, placed it in a bag of silica packets & wrapped it with ESD bubble wrap. We waited 12 hours... the Switch works on dock, charges on dock, but does not turn back on. We are trying to charge it on dock now & praying for the best. But blue joycon was still not reading when slid on the rail. It works wirelessly. Buttons so far are all functioning. Husband will make attempt to open & inspect the Switch since he is experience with electronics & we watched your video for insight to better help visually. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!

Hey Vince a tip from one Switch tinkerer to another. If the rails are not working on future units, even tough there is no obvious fault, try replacing the fan. Yes the fan. Somehow the fan is connected to the joycob rails, a defective fan ribbon can hinder the joycon from working in handheld mode

i had the same problem with the battery as you and i recharged my one with a lab bench powersupply to 3,7v and pluggt it back in and it works again. my theory behind this is that the fluid that caused the corrosion on the battery connector has drawn the battery voltage down to a level whrer the switch cant recognice it any more and if you recharge it the switch sees your battery again. sry for my bad english iam a german one.

Just a wee thought on battery removal, I keep tropical fish we have juwel tanks, they came with built in box filters. most owners would remove them for external filters, to remove them we would cut them out with fishing line, garot style. could you use a similar technique on the batteries ? start at on corner and cut the glue with fishing line ?...just a thought...

batteries have protection to protect them from overcharge or overdischarge. when the voltage drops a lot the protection circuit disconnect the battery from the power source(to avoid lithium to start burn). thats why massively overdischarged batteries most likely cant be recharged.

They also have temperature sensors too (i was almost blown up by my phone but the battery told the phone "im too hot stop charging me" so the phone said it would stop charging the battery until it was at a safe temperature, it was at about 45% but i left the phone plugged in so it was running from the charger and did not charge anymore until it cooled down to around 35°C)

A tip Vince, unless you already do this, when you clean stuff with IPA I would recommend you mixing in 10% of normal tap water, using only IPA does a poor job of removing dried out sugar and tough corrosion. The water does not damage anything if you make sure everything is dried out. When I repair waterdamaged MacBooks I have a higher percentage of fixes whilst using water only, then I put the board in the oven to make sure all the water evaporates. EDIT: I now heard you use a ultrasonic cleaner :)

Hi Vince. Firstly I really enjoy watching your videos. I did not take the time to scroll through all the comments, but as for removing batteries which are stuck down. Try and add some IPA around the battery to loosen/dissolve some of the adhesive . I use this technique when removing iPhone batteries.

The battery isn't going to charge at 5 Watts, so without the better charger you're going to have to leave it for like at least 40 minutes, and if you had the original switch charger 20 to 30 minutes. That's one benefit of a battery backup, even if you don't use it for a month the switch is likely at 3 to 30% battery. But if you leave it for a month and it was already low on battery it's going to be dead and you're going to have to charge it and I will make sure it's not cold. A dead charge is like 20 cycles, charge from below 50 degrees closer to 100, along with a 10% chance of permanent damage to the battery if it's below freezing. Technically a slower charge it's less harmful to the battery but with a capacity of 4000 milliamps it's not going to hurt anything.

When it comes to thermal paste, it's not the age to be concerned about, it's the amount of contact it has. The point of it is to fill in gaps and imperfections in the metals. When you remove a component and replace it without reapplying paste it introduces small imperfections and micro fractures in the paste itself that will not allow it to transfer heat properly. Great video though, stuck around the whole way.

Your enthusiasm is contagious! I'm glad you managed to fix this Switch - I used to use sticky tape to fix Commodore joy sticks (the same way you did with the volume button) back in the eighties. With liquid ingress, most of the damage and corrosion is caused by the reaction of the minerals dissolved in the liquid with electricity playing a part, causing electrolysis on exposed connectors. In theory, dropping a Switch into completely pure deionized (distilled) water should not cause any damage but I wouldn't just do it to test the theory!

When a battery is near charged or regulating it will turn on and off. It looks like the battery regulator was just topping off the battery or what not .30 being the top trying to charge and the drop to zero when off. The numbers in between those are probably just averaging numbers during sampling. At least that's my guess. Sounds like the p channel mosfet on the charger regulator is toast on the battery.
