Nintendo SWITCH WON'T PLAY GAMES! Can I FIX IT?

[@mkFix-pl]

Yaaaay Dwayne making my Friday at work bearable ^^.Nice background beats! We have that hand thing in Sweden as well 😂. Another thing related to punching is "gul bil" which means "yellow car". Since yellow cars are kinda rare here, whenever you see a yellow car you shout "GUL BIL!" and you can punch your friends on the shoulder. Me and another mate frequently went to a bus terminal location and we extended the rules to include busses. Fortunately, city busses in my area are green. But guess what color busses going between cities have 😂. Needless to say, we didn't last more than maybe 15 minutes. Great, easy fix and awesome that the switch can be enjoyed once more. Like the idea of the skillometer. Today youll get a 10 for fault finding and a 6.5 on efficiency soley due to the fact that you tried to fix the broken port first, instead of jut being lazy and swapping it out right away. But you get a 11 in effort and a 20 in concentabillity. Cheers :)

Thanks mate! And welcome back. We also have a thing with cars but I forgot what colour 🤣 core memories unlocked!! I think I did well this time around and thanks for your scores 😀 I'm hoping to establish a baseline and have the skillometer reflect my overall skills

Another great video Dwayne. And i love the idea of the skill-o-meter lol

Thanks Ryan and welcome back! Probably going to be on the bottom end of the skill for a while but we'll get there 🤣

Nice quick fix. I might of put a spare or another switch and the non working one both under the microscope to compare. Maybe more going on than just that one pin. When working with bending any thin metal there is a chance that something bent changes to something broken off completely. I try to stay away from trying to get them perfect and instead start testing to see if it works with minimal bending. Rating system seems fair. Nothing wrong with starting low. Efficiency is a difficult one to pin down. You are thinking of it as per repair. Less efficient work with more learning might be more effective long term. Some faults can take weeks to identify. The more you understand the better you can troubleshoot. Sometimes a particularly hard problem I will revisit after 6 months or years and be able to solve it. Being able to make good assumptions qbout what you have to pay attention to and what you don't or in other words narrowing scope of the problem is key in efficiency. One has to not forget that if something isnt adding up that one has to reassess those assumptions/narrowed scope.

Welcome back mate and as always thanks for your input! I've actually kept ahold of the old game card reader, so perhaps i can use it in the future. I'm.hopeing I can get more efficient at the core/basic skills to being with like port swapping. Especially USB-C, which is giving me the most problems haha. And yes fault is the most tricky one for me. Still trying to learn what certain components do and how to test them to see if they're behaving as to be expected of them. Namely Transisotrs, Mosfetts and Crystals. But clearly many more.

@@PainfulDwayne Multilayer PCB and hidden pins make USB-C a pain. Something like a MHP50 preheating on the bottom side might help. If clear of things you can melt on the bottom you might even being able to use it to do a connector. If not you adding some hot air ontop of the preheat makes it a lot easier. I've used it to do connectors on smaller PCBs as well as BGA.
