Repair Shop BOTCHED This Nintendo Switch - Can I Fix It?

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

All those "professionals" around who scam others. They don't even know how to apply the perfect amount of thermal paste.

[@Tronicsfix]

Hahaha!

[@davidpeterson5647]

Man, German efficiency with packaging AND German chocolate?! That's pretty good!

[@Tobi_DarkKnight]

Theres only one thing where we are not efficient and it's building airports.

[@jochenwuerfel]

@@Tobi_DarkKnight Well.. we built it, but it won't work 😂

[@bayupran]

I just want to appreciate how many devices that you've repaired and not going into landfills

[@EeekiE]

I heard the PS5 supply chain bottleneck is primarily caused by them using Steve to apply the perfect amount of liquid metal. They don’t trust anyone else to do it.

[@Tronicsfix]

Lolololol 😂

[@raymondsprs]

I bet the guy who sent the switch was super hype when he seen the switch come on! Congratulations🎉

These are the best video, fixing things we as owners try and never could and even had paid someone to do so and still nothing. Awesome video sir

[@Tronicsfix]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@JimNichols]

You are NOT a repair person you are a surgeon that has a heart, and that is why your channel does so well. I have watched you from almost your first video and commented (quite verbal I am, much to your chagrin I imagine) on most. Extraordinary talent on board level repairs, logic in fault chasing and just pretty knowledgeable all around sir. Board level repair on such small circuitry is beyond me, having done it in locomotives where the components are the size of grapes and the traces are 1/8 inch wide and 1/8 inch apart, I find the small boards require sufficient velocity to completely disassemble themselves on impact with a sufficiently hard surface. Love the vids, love the logic you employ, love that you have a huge heart and lastly love that you allow us to ride along with you during your repairs.

I agree mate that was a great repair

[@nasser_almashjary]

You're a wizard. Simply watching you work is mesmerizing.

[@MicroMageRepair]

I would typically remove the chip to conduct this trace repair. Was interesting to see it done without removal. Good to see a different approach that works!

[@konsolemend]

Hey Micro Mage ahaha! I was gonna say I would do the same ahah but ether way works

[@Coolcoy84]

I thumbed this video up when he bit into the German chocolate!

[@Tronicsfix]

Thanks for watching!

Just love how you soldered those 2 wires!

Never repaired any electronic and have no skills in it. But watching you repair stuff is always satisfying

[@bandonov1]

Steve, you earned that chocolate! Great Job!

Hey, ifixit, I used this channel to pull the plug and buy a protech kit. I love it. Other readers, please go buy one.

The perfect amount of thermal paste: 60% of the time, it works every time.

[@ahn-lh7tk]

I love how you like most of the comments... Making them feel like I see you and I appreciate you watching my video... I like how you have a passion about something and always take it as a challenge to fix something... The amazing thing is, whenever you take a repair case that has made you so confused and never got a solution as a challenge but eventually you manage to fix it... It never actually leave your mind and will always remain in your memory so it is worth the time that you invested in this case and actually give a big amount of experience and also hype you up to fix/solve another device... Great videos man I really enjoy it👍

[@peston6753]

Hello, i am french and everytime you say "the perfect amount of thermal paste", i have a smile 😊. I like your work.

[@irre.o]

You need to open the chocolate by breaking it in the middle! Other than that - good video 😉

[@Saltiren]

Then wouldn't you need to eat the entire thing at once?

[@irre.o]

@@Saltiren It's the intended way of opening it and it just splits in the middle. The package comes apart at the seams then. No matter how you open it, it's -open- afterwards 😅. You can also easily break off single pieces like that.

[@Tronicsfix]

Now you tell me!

[@imwithyou38]

this is why i watch this channel, this is heart warming to me

[@Tronicsfix]

So glad you like these vids!

[@ionescumihai9543]

[@rrutter81]

Oh my favorite! The repair the "botched repairs" videos are always so surprising

[@MoshiAngelic]

Man I never get tired of seeing you fix this stuff I miss my days working on boards and this gets my fix good

[@Yet_Another_Steve]

I've done repairs. I love you showing what doesn't work as well as what does. Edit: Your tools list doesn't include the charge indicator.

[@nickyelinek9142]

My guy was so confident Steve would take on this repair he didn’t even bother with the thermal paste after he tried to repair it😂😂 threw the screws back on and was like “well if he won’t do it, it’s a lost cause.”

That wire thing you did was slick.

[@CoasterNut]

It always amazes me how shoddy these so called professionals are. I know nothing of board repairs and even I'd look at that and go....I don't think you soldered that on there right.....Nice job Steve!

[@Saltiren]

You can go ahead an open up your own repair shop advertising yourself as a professional today. I'm sure you'll run into a situation like this where you would be unable to complete the job for your customer, and then you'd suddenly be the shoddy "professional". It only takes one job.

[@Appri]

Granted, it said that the person tried soldering it back on themselves too afterwards, so this time it was probably the guy who attempted it.
