[@Mimikyu_Lov3r]

This is a first-generation model due to have the model number being HAC-001, the second-generation model has HAC-001(-001). You can tell by the back of the switch. Some of the key differences of the two is the second Gen model has batter battery life and better processing than the first Gen model (among a few other things)

[@dill6598]

Does it have better processing? I didn’t think it did. The better battery life would have been more than welcome for me tho. I got my switch on Christmas 2017 and the battery life is absolutely garbage and horrible. I know this because I brang it to school once to play mariokart 8 deluxe with my friends. Apart from that, I think the switch is a decent console, but I also don’t like the joy cons and find them very unreliable and they really can’t stand the test of time.

[@badcatalex]

@@dill6598 No, it just has a more energy efficient processor.

[@dill6598]

@@badcatalex yeah that’s what I thought and I’m not sure about getting a new switch to be honest I think they are a little overrated especially if you plan to use the switch over a long period of time. I just don’t find them durable enough

[@GavinColbourne]

Immediate issue at 1:20 DON'T use a USB-B to USB-C cable at 5v (normally max's out at approc 1-2.5A). Always use a PD USB-C to USB-C connection which should be approx 15v. The official Nintendo charger is set at 15v so always use that as a baseline

[@Av65784]

How did you know the problem in the first place?

[@LowPolyPigeon]

@@Av65784 It's a known issue. Soon-ish after launch folks were having problems with switches not charging / powering on (like the one shown in the video), and folks eventually figured out it was due to 3rd party chargers / docks providing the wrong voltage and eventually frying the power management chip. It's probably what broke this exact switch.

[@MrPetpet111]

@@LowPolyPigeon Only issue I had one and a half month after launch was the low on battery spam where the remaining battery percentage jumped somewhere from between 100 and 25 percent before going to 1 percent which took them to fix somewhere around Splatoon's 2 release day. Which I heard I wasn't the only one with that issue when they announced those AA battery pack accessory for joy cons before Arms release. Though I would say late buyers would be less aware of threads that were posted since launch against the ones posted much later. For example the hidden message in the Switch Pro Controller that got reposted later on by someone else. Then you have those Bluetooth issues some people have when their joy-con disconnects and like 2-3 months ago some person that some how wasn't aware of being able to get gold points from physical games.. Like how can someone who would check whether a game has an update or not at the +/- application menu of home not see it.

[@stevenmartell2289]

I’m glad that you knew when to stop. That’s a skill not a lot of people have. Id recommend taking chips off dead boards so you can get a feel for the heat and airspeed needed for your hot air station. Also a bent nozzle can help so you don’t have to go at it from an angle like that

Just caught this at the end but in case you didn’t see, those joycons are fake. The plus and minus buttons at the top look way different to the normal ones and the buttons on the left controller look weird too.

Don’t feel bad. I too did something similar in hopes of repairing my switch. I tried to reball a micro chip on the flash memory and ended up destroying the whole board by mistake in the process.

The only reason why this is common is because people used 3rd party chargers and docks with it that don't provide the correct charge that the official products provide (essentially what it is is product mishandling and not an issue caused by manufacturing)

[@marcog2737]

Also they leave the console plugged and maybe there’s a power outage or a lightning.

Good luck to the both of us!

[@noblackthunder]

Fun Fact ... i have had my OG switch have like 6 times issues with no power ... not even reacting to charging. Turns out the chips inside it did hang after going under voltage. Solution was to charge it for an hour even though nothing happent .. and then do a emergency shutdown .. like when the system totaly hangs. . and then it turned on again . not sure if it was volume down or up + power button fo 30 seconds or so ... that has resolved my no power issues when ever i had them without the need to solder anything and it worked fine after that

You should do the micro soldering it would save you a hassle and time. And by the way nice job on diagnosing the problem.

[@nahventure3873]

Just a why not comment, the switch I'm pretty sure is 18W @ 9v. You'd want a power supply with USB PD, and probably a good one at that since you'll venture into this. Usually you can tell what's going on by whether or not a device negotiates USB PD, especially on the switch where the chip tends to go wonky (esp. if used with low quality power supplies). Cheers.

[@nahventure3873]

regular usb can do higher voltages/amp/wattage but it won't be for PD afaik. I'd just go all usb-c at that point though.

[@nahventure3873]

commented before watching but yeah you realized the charging IC is usually a POC

I just found your channel by accident. I was considering becoming a tech repair person myself, after I scored a free Nintendo switch lite quit by a giant stroke of luck. I had wanted a switch ever since they came out. it reminded me of all the hours spent playing on a Nintendo DS. although, my parents are unable to buy me one. one day, when I was walking to school, a pink Nintendo Switch lite flew out of a speeding car window. from a distance, I couldn't quit tell what it was. when I got closer, I knew I had encountered a one in a million stroke of luck. it felt as if the universe was rewarding me for my hardships. but, alas, I have no money, and cannot afford to fix it. by my calculations, it will cost around 40 dollars to fix it. and, I'm not even sure if my diagnosis of the thing was correct. I do have experience fixing electronics as I used to fix Nintendo DS systems for my friends. I can even solder a little. I hope to save up enough money to fix the thing soon. I also have no clue if it has an account registered to the thing. I haven't opened the device up as of yet, and it has been sitting in my parents drawers for almost a year by now. I hope to fix it soon, although earning money as a minor when all your family is piss poor is very slow, and its even harder when you feel obligated to pitch in for things around the house. I have decided to hide my money away, and currently have $4 hopefully I forget about it so I don't spend it.
