Nintendo Switch Repair - Been to another shop. Is it fixable ?

[@P.M.88]

the one tool you could never get to sell on your website, but every shop needs................ BIG BOSS

[@jbtec5730]

Whoever worked on this before did a good job in not destroying the board. It really helps a lot when people restrain the work to the minimum viable without risking it with attempts to repair that go beyond their skills.

[@johncox114]

looked like there was a bridge between pins 7&8 by the previous repair shop - the detail and perfection of your soldering is one of the things that sets you apart from the rest

[@gurhanbayr5080]

Nice job alex. Big Boss is slowly and steadily growing his test/assembly station. My best regards to big boss.

Another video, another coffee, another like. Thanks Alex!

[@lucymc0191]

great job as always alex ...and big boss as always . his bench always looks complicated , but in his eyes no.. a pleasure to watch both of you ..

[@nimaghorbani9320]

Loved your shirt. BETTER THAN FACTORY 👏👏

[@theabhominal8131]

just ordered a better then factory shirt thanks for the teaching i get as a hobbyist...

[@vrvretro]

Can't things be purchased as refurbished without the owner/buyer knowing just how much work the device has been through already? Love love your videos. Take care.

[@Saki630]

This is a great video! It must feel nice to have so much "work" to do so that you are able to keep planning for the future of NorthridgeFix. I wish you good fortune in finding someone to take your spot and Big Boss' spot in the shop so that you can decompress and begin to have a better work-life balance.

What is the purpose of pressing down on the chip like at 10:20 while soldering? What would happen if you didn't do it?

[@godsonjoseph]

It is to squeeze out the excess solder under the chip

[@travispoulin252]

It presses out the excess solder that was under the chip. If you left it could possibly work fine but you risk the chip not seating properly on the pads and the excess solder could possibly cause a bridge under the chip. Also the center pad is used as a heatsink to dump heat into the board and you want it as close as possible for best heat transfer.

[@crazyphil7782]

Squeeze out solder more or less, but to make sure all pins are perfectly flush with the board and get soldered well. Be careful though, you do this with QFN, but never with BGA, I guess this is obvious

[@bdogsp0012]

Big Boss, the legend.

[@fraenkiboii]

Great job Alex! Let's be honest, the devices don't have a chance if you're wearing the BTF shirt - they basically fix themselves by the power of the shirt :D

[@erict3975]

Hey Alex, thanks for the videos as always! When is your training dropping? Hope it’s around the corner! 👍

[@comradeyars]

I would pay for training feat. Alex.

[@anisometropie]

10:10 how do you know you are not connecting that middle section with a pin on the side ?

[@glensouthall]

It would be good if you were live for the whole day, A day with you and big boss. That would be great just an idea mate. love the content love learning from experts in the field.

[@mulatiechekol4513]

Alex the great as always thank you very much!

[@bryanswaggbeast4594]

At what temperature and air speed do you have your hot air station? Also thanks for sharing the knowledge, keep up the good work.

[@Mojo-Jojo_M.]

Hi! GREAT JOB! What does the Big Boss do to keep the parts from getting mixed up? I am very enthusiastic about your work, but also about his! :) Thanks for your great Videos! greetings from Germany

[@Agent388]

That's a really good question. I would Love to see the work of the Big Boss.

[@REAPER85151]

fast and precise great job

[@matthewshafer9545]

The other shop replaced the USB-C port and it didn't work so they called it unfixable, but for once they didn't screw up anything worse than it already was . The real question is do you think the USB-C port ever needed replacement or was it always just a burnt out p19 chip ? I would bet the USB-C port was fine and it got misdiagnosed and never tested and anyone who brings that shop a Nintendo Switch that wont power up or take a charge gets a new usb-c port and a trip to your store .

[@sunnydeath2635]

Any idea why the charging port is melted at 11:02?

[@fraserthomson5766]

Soldering chips this good must take some practice, I imagine it's like clockmaking but with micro tweezers and hot air.

[@rfr653]

Good job mate 👍

[@imousschannel]

I was looking for this video ❤️🙏

[@luisenriquechavezdiaz3071]

If there's hiroshima on the board this will be a great video

It will be good for us to have one Hiroshima successful fix video. We know that time is money, but please if possible sir Alex think about it. 🙏🙏🙏

Hi... Can you please make a video on where to inject voltage in a shorted laptop. Is it on first or the second mosfet?

[@MichaelHagberg]

How do you know that when you squeeze out the extra solder on the ground pad that it doesn't short a pin to the ground pad?

[@stefanlechner]

Amazing, nice video. Great explainings. Peferct. Thank you for that video. Greets

[@BIOIV]

Question for Mr.Northridge If you find a faulty component on a board and you can't read the component labeling and you don't have a donor board to compare. How do you figure out which component to replace it with?

[@andrewtronics7266]

Can someone explain me how he test for short? Continudity mode black prob to screw hole and red to campacitor?

[@demontekdigital]

Ya know, I'm really glad you provide the repair services you do, but at the same time it's very upsetting that more, and more modern tech requires them. Repair services should be for older tech that needs to be brought back to life, not for brand new tech only a few months old. This just shows how much QC is being skived on in order to get the product out as fast as possible, and save as many pennies as they can. It shows how little they care about they're product, and the trust we, as customers, have put into said companies. I understand that all companies have manufacturing issues, but it just appears as though they're not building their products as well as they should be. This channel has taught me to never buy Asus laptops because so many have been featured in your repair videos. I may not like Alienware desktop OEMs, but it seems that their laptops are pretty solid. My wife, and I both have one. The one I have was given to me by her, upgraded after 4 yrs, and still works great. Hers is newer, and works great too. After seeing so many Asus videos I just don't trust them, and won't ever buy them.
