This Nintendo SWITCH has a BROKEN USB-C Port | Can I FIX It?

[@RBKing80]

Another great fix. Not far off 60K now Steve. Soon be at 100K and its totally deserved. Couldn't have happened to a nicer fella.

[@jasedobson2793]

I agree Steve for prime minister!😀

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks RB! 👍

[@amm9387]

1000% 😅 agree! Really Nice mate with great content. PS: "Our" Steve needs more views to get more £ to buy some Louis Vuitton cat protection gloves ehehe 😁. Btw when can we see the perpetrators of those crimes 🐈🐈😄

[@MrMurMC]

@@StezStixFix Sorry on the double post I messed up a bit as I'm not the greatest with KZbin lol. Love your channel though as you are very enjoyable to listen to and watch solder as well!! I have a question : do you take requests if someone had a console and the parts and wanted you to do an upgrade or mod? I have a few consoles here but I had one in particular where I have an og xbox and was hoping to do a cap replacement as some are bulging but I suck horribly at soldering lol. So I was curious if I could send to you to do for a Future episode? If so let me know and we and can chat and thanks for your time mate!!

[@3percent3]

64k update.

[@Rich64]

Damn, who would treat Switch like that, it's so dirty and messed up. Good fix, Steve!

[@Jesselovespinball]

Steve , your humor is absolutely awesome. I love watching you , you could be fixing a broken shovel and I would watch it . Keep up the the great content !

[@esseferio]

At this rate, the 100k subs will be reached in 32 minutes 😅(well deserved for such a great karaoke channel !). Merci Monsieur !

[@SixtyDoesStuff]

I adore your enthusiasm. Well done, Steve, because that looks like a well worn device that someone has used quite a bit, haha. Even that screen protector is looking rough.

[@StezStixFix]

😁 yeah, this was one well-used device that's for sure! Hopefully it'll give the owner a bit more use out of it now... 👍

[@mymidschoollife8485]

I'll second that. Steve has a way of cheering me up even when I'm feeling crap.

[@ryandavis7011]

You can also use the helping hands to hold your mars bar, frees up your hands for soldering.

[@StezStixFix]

🤣 excellent idea!

[@lisandro3614]

That Switch went to war! Great fix, and let's dream of a world where manufacturers put ports in little breakout boards...

[@zuxx00]

That Switch look like it saved someone's life from a bullet!

[@ChristosKaps]

Ι'm here for the singing. Seriously, though, love the good spirited approach, the humor and it's always nice seeing a battered console coming back to life.

[@tonymontana6799]

i wish i could see you clean the hard rock Thermal paste that was on before. Its always a pleasure seeing cleaning things before and after

[@BuyitFixit]

Nice Fix Steve. Well Done! If you want to see TINY wires you should have a look at the vintage Ramtex Space Invaders game I just repaired. I had to solder the gold bond wires from an LED chip die back to the traces of the PCB. It was quite intense!

[@BoatzUK]

Wow them wires are tiny. Well done on your repair

[@StezStixFix]

Ooh, I'll have to check that out 👍

[@BuyitFixit]

@@StezStixFix Thanks Steve. Your channel is really crushing it! Well done. Hopefully I'll get there too someday!

[@kiphakes]

+100 subs whilst filming!! NOICE!

[@StezStixFix]

😊 thanks Kip. 👍

[@H3nshin]

Dunno where this channel comes from... It is my favourite now, binge watching everything

[@TheLordKronos]

Seriously though i love your energy and way you present everything. But what in all hell happened to that poor switch i looked so battered and bruised almost like someone threw it on the pavement out of rage

[@richardockwell4198]

I have watched so many of your videos now, I find them absolutely brilliant. I had a Nest Cam with a broken micro-USB port, came away from the board. Sat there for a year or so, with a view to one day fix it. After watching your videos, I got myself a microscope and a decent solder iron set, and copied what I have watched you do so many times. The nest cam powered up last night, and I am super chuffed. Thank you so much for your content, my only wish is that you could bring videos out faster, because I cannot get enough of them.

[@michaelenglund]

After watching many of your vids I actually opened a faulty digital picture frame and found the problem. Tiny cable had came loose deep inside the lighting of the led:s. Managed to solder it back and it works! 😎

[@darthlime101]

Your sense of humor is one of many reasons I keep coming back to your channel, Steve!

[@graemewilson5459]

Fantastic fun to watch and yes you do have talent..??? Love your video’s top notch. 👍

[@FOOKYOUTUBENUMBERS]

I just found Your channel a few weeks ago & I love the format & the charm I like the vids that much I hit the like button twice 😁keep up the great work Ste..

[@KarnageGaming]

Honestly your singing is a highlight of the video for me. Your content is direct and to the point. It shows alot of what u need to know in order to do it yourself. And the singing just helps u stand out from other videos. Quiry enough to be interesting. Not so great youd ever win an award but not so terrible u want to rip your ears out. A good balance.

[@Stumpfization]

Nothing is more satisfying to me than giving a dead a given up on console/game a new life. About two years ago i found a Nintendo DS in the dumpster. Took it home, swapped shell and battery, cleaned everything up and now it looks like in its best days and works like a charm :) (except for the screens which have a few dead pixels).

[@BuyitFixit]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way!

[@StezStixFix]

That's awesome Stump! You literally saved it from the trash. It's such a great feeling. 👍

[@YoJoeDizzle]

Don't let anyone put you down over your singing! I love it man!

[@Allerick178]

Great work Steve. Thank you fore the great video.

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Frederick! 👍

[@Diemermakes]

Perfect timing. My original switch just started showing these symptoms. Now I know what to diagnose. Thanks!

[@tpg6386]

I'm here to help the algorithm. Also, thanks for the USB-C Amp module, I'll have to add this to my IT Kit.

[@seguramlk]

Awesome fix man, keep it up

[@jed2055]

I class myself as a good solderer but then I watch you Steve. Nice work mate.

[@TechnicNerdAT]

Gr8 Fix as always. Funny like everytime. For Info. Pin6 from the right wich is now loose is the "D-" signal for the usb 2.0 interface. so maybe usb connection will only work in one direction(of usb c port)

[@hollowcloplover9539]

I don’t know why but I’m sooo addicted to this videos I’m not even very familiar with electronics in general because I work retail but maybe that’s why I am so fascinated

[@ian3314]

Great video as usual. Also the haircut is on point!

[@DaileyDouble]

Great stuff Steve (and Dave). Thanks for the entertaining content, and for inspiring me to pick something up and try to fix it. Now if I could just win one of these ebay bid wars for broken consoles...

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks Ty, good luck with the bidding! It's a frustrating game, that's for sure! 😬

[@yenchey3270]

@@StezStixFix it's the worst pay-to-win experience I've ever had, yeah

[@Loki-]

@@yenchey3270 I feel you and the price quickly rockets to something that's not even worth it anymore. I've picked up friday/saturday garage saling for better chances. Occasional thrift shopping, but they've started marking things at eBay prices.

[@jsteezy80]

Glad you were finally getting some algorithm love. You went from two patreons to having a ton! Also gaining subs faster than anybody. Congrats! Your humor is right up my alley. Keep it up and say hi to Dave for me

[@jhessieboy]

I was able to fix my daughter's toy after watching your vids. Thanks, bud. Keep em coming!

[@AMR-bf8nx]

Your cleaning process is one of the most satisfying things in life…

[@nikoladamjanovic6987]

Can you please make a video where you show your tools and where to get them? The things that you are doing seem like so much fun!

[@scottrakes1622]

This may be the best undiscovered KZbin channel out there. It won't stay undiscovered long though. Great stuff

[@brbballin]

Hey Steve, you've inspired me to start fixing things because you make it look so much fun and rewarding! Do you have any books you would recommend for complete beginners who are new to this? Thanks!

[@guigmfrota]

You are getting better at this Steve, nice !!!

[@brewernine1]

You’re blowing up! You have 17k new subscribers since you filmed this. Awesome!

[@Kriszzzful]

Just discovered this channel and it's instantly become one of my favorite music channels!

[@ripppeerr]

Greetings from Romania! So happy to find you, not getting borred anymore

[@pmc5532]

Went in like a Boss and Triumphed !! well done Sir.

[@RyanTheTastyPizza]

Thank you so much for the effort of filming and editing the whole process of repairing! I never thought this would be so interesting and relaxing at the same time. I watch ‘em just before going to sleep they help out a lot ❤️ thanks again Steve

[@nickrandazzo6318]

Wow! I'm so glad I found this channel. You're an absolute joy to watch. I even just bought some merch! And yes, please more singing.

[@ericcatman9977]

Oh my! Your face and voice literally cure me! So sweet! Thanks so much Stez.

[@mattyg6097]

I love fixing things. And that’s why I love watching your videos.

[@guxtavo14]

4:49 "that look when you can't accept the compliment" - your singing is not perfect, granted, yet we all somehow appreciated that unexpected rap because it felt wholesome and that's were the singing compliments come from

[@lazycomicgamer2313]

Great Job Steve, I honestly thought it wasn't going to get fully fixed but you did it!

[@jonbeige9877]

I love the videos Steve! I've been watching a bunch of your old stuff lately, but the sub counter on this one made me finally subscribe!

[@Gmlt3000]

U put incorrect amount of humor on dat switch... And I'm lovin' it.

[@DemonDood]

Man that is one abused Switch, excellent work!

[@BuyitFixit]

Yes it definately looked like it had taken a battering that one!

[@kbsanders]

The almighty KZbin algorithm has blessed me with your videos. I love the humor, and I love the editing style. Keep up the good work!

[@UkdangermanRepairs]

Damn fine use of the world's smallest jumper wire....... With the world's smallest section of the world's smallest jumper wire. Cracking video mate 👍

[@MagralhoPT]

BEST KZbin CHANNEL EVER! "stupid game" is probably the best outro one could ask for! specially if you actually enjoyed the gaming session.

[@SailingYachtZora]

love the new subscriber tracker in the background. Great channel

[@shawnmichaelis1609]

This makes me wanna fix stuff like this, so satisfying

[@magnuslehohn3371]

Your tech skill is mad impressive. Thanks for showing me what I’d be getting into trying to repair my own port. Was wondering how to get the traces to reconnect (never seen a heat gun used for that). Also haven’t seen flux in that form (cuz I’m a soldering noob). Got some learning to do then I’ll try this most likely.

[@flaggstang7977]

Found this channel a couple of weeks ago. Great content! keep up the good work !

[@chris-pike]

Good to see you fix this rather battered up switch there great job on the usb c port & trace repair there Steve - nice 1 👍

[@woogaloo]

Always a fun fix to watch. I do like the "all of a sudden stopped charging" part - that thing looks roooooough!

[@Rulle666]

New subscriber here, and i'm already a big fan of your content. And your skills on applying the incorrect amount of thermal paste is spot on 😂🤣

[@NGute87]

Very talented. I love watching your videos. Very relaxing, and I like your sense of humor. I decided to subscribe! Keep it up!

[@Mymatevince]

Spoiler Saver What a clean break on the pins, I was expecting more pad damage, you made the replacement look easy which it isn't. Well done Steve

[@bastol85]

Quite the compliment coming from this fine gentleman.

[@markharrisllb]

You channel is growing at a phenomenal speed but no faster than you deserve.

[@mjd515]

Thank you for your videos! It gives me the confidence to fix my own stuff. I usually don't break em too much either!

[@guscrown]

Good job, Steve. If you wanted to do a solder blob I would recommend not using the flux, that would make it easier to bridge the solder from the connector pin to the via. With the flux in the mix, it's going to be virtually impossible for solder to connect.

[@thedagenator2006]

12:02 and 11:42 are the best XD great video as always!

[@davideil.]

I love your work and I've started streaming working on stuff thanks to you. Also making me want to edit it properly for youtube consumption. I'm watching every video and just love every single thing about them! I hope to one day be a holy hand grenadier!

Hi Steve! Could you tell me where you got your 3rd party microscope arm? Looks so much better than the stock one. Awesome videos, keep it up!

[@StezStixFix]

Thanks DJ! Much appreciated 👍

[@BGPhilbin]

New subscriber, here. I'm very much enjoying these videos. I find it interesting to see your process of figuring things out and increase your skills along the way. I looked to see if you'd done anything with my favorite console, Sega Saturn, at any point, but was saddened to learn that you hadn't had any come up. I've avoided fixing my power problem with mine for a couple of years now, but it appears that there is a good kit from the UK that does the job (which is also used widely here in the US). I'm just too chicken to do it, so I'll probably just sell my setup on eBay. Continuing to cull through your library of videos and haven't found a dud yet!

[@stiggyla]

Never change mate good stuff

[@robert-yates]

new way to judge how well a repair went, 1) take a shot for every "nice" and then 2.) evaluate consciousness at end of video

[@jamesp2719]

great fix, got to say my hand would never be steady enough to do that microscope soldering work

[@Chiriler]

A lot of entertainment time and knowledge, and an amazing job as allways. Ty for take your time making videos for all of us. Pd. Can i ask the brand/model of flux you use. Ty again.

[@3Fatboy33]

Adding another 20.000 subscribers since filming this must be amazing. Your videos are like ASMR board repair I love it. Im think KZbin recommendet your channel to me because I also watch the New York weirdo. His videos are not as relaxing thou.

[@GinandTronics]

your new haircut looks dapper. Good repair. I noticed your using a unofficial dock /usb c extension cable to display a picture on the TV. did you test the port bothsides? also you don't need.to connect anything to the switch to boot, just the battery and the emmc. you can just dock the switch, or use the ammeter to see if it's booting

[@StezStixFix]

Good info, thanks Gin! Yeah, I tested both sides and it worked like a dream. I also tested in an official dock off camera, and it's also good in there. 👍

[@same4718]

You need some solder lugs, some uv mask and a uv solder light to cure the uv mask. Simple repair mate Either way good job. That jumper wire worked out great
