And for example the PS4 Pro Hard Drive repair costs 129$ for the 1 TB HDD, that's literally a user replacement part and takes like 2 minutes to put a new one inside and for 129$ you can just buy a 1TB SSD instead of a crap HDD... ps: But anyway its his prices and he can put them at how much he wants, who agree buy his services and who doesn't go somewhere else...

I think there can only be something wrong... And its usually 2 chips that die the video chip or the charging chip if I remember well... Also while indeed some where killed by 3rd party docks or chargers, lot of ppl in forums claimed to only have used original charger\dock and got a problem on one of them... There's also the other common problems of Switch's bending and some to the point where the touch screen even starts to come out probably due to heat when its docked in that closed crap dock with almost no space in-between...

[@ReaperUnreal]

@cedric1997 While that's true, you'd think they would put in some fuses, diodes, etc, instead of having to replace an entire chip.

[@OldMan_PJ]

The problem isn't just with 3rd party docks, if you take the official power cord from the official dock and quickly unplug it from the dock then plug it directly into the Switch it will kill the Switch as well. It's a problem with the power supply trying to send more power directly into the Switch than it can handle. I've seen the same problem with some Lenovo laptops switching between power supplies and docks.

The vid is a bit old. Now a refurb is around $135/ea and his total profit is around $267. (Around $13/ea.)

[@khazahamim1524]

Sir your videos and the cut down part of the screws getting removed are so satisfying

[@AliYassinToma]

I swear i can fix switchs for a living now lol

[@WarlordRaven]

Apparently, you just need to change out the video chip. 🤪

Aren't you impressed by his component handling and soldering skills? I once decided to turn a purely battery operated device into also using usb for power, but then at the parts store I looked at a micro-usb port component, which was hardly bigger than a grain of rice. I thought I'll rather go with the good old bulky usb-b.

@@herrakaarme i actually have soldering skills too i fix headphones .. mice .. keyboards and its not actually that hard ... the problem is i dont have a soldering station or anything fancy .. i have a soldering iron made in china that is sold for less than 6$

[@Dedubya-]

$50 profit per device... minus ebay selling fees, your wage, electricity, taxes, tools, I reckon after all things taken into account he might be making $25 to $30 profit per item. Hardly a great rate for all that effort. Fine for a hobby, lousy as a business proposition.

[@AliYassinToma]

@@Dedubya- tools already available electricity is like 100$ a year ..i dont have taxes i live in a rental apartment . So i guess i have rent to pay thats it .

I just watched a St Jude ad while watching this video. It made me cry. I hope that little girl pulls through.

[@JeffKelley]

Has anyone ever found a seller just selling the rubber tips for the joy-cons? I can find replacement analog switches but all I need is the rubber tip.

[@Tronicsfix]

I don't think they are meant to be replaced...but I could be wrong

[@LeanMeanRevengeMachine]

The editing taking out the screws by pointing at them is awesome, creative idea

[@ア尺ノムリ丂]

Big profit there bud

[@Mclaneinc]

Steve, I must be odd but I watched all 3 video's and was still interested, OK I'm an apprentice fixer of older years but what was great about this was I learnt about a few new tools (heat mat and the charge indicator) as well as the fancy but slightly expensive screwdriver. So great vid's, really interesting and well judged about just how many times to repeat showing a repair stage....Subscribed...

[@Tronicsfix]

Welcome to my channel! Glad you're enjoying it.

[@melcrose]

We're left with a profit of 827.15.. minus ebay fees.. we lost 2k.

[@jaycooper13]

I'm loving this. It's all knowledge one way or another. Either what to try or what not to try. You are making the sacrifices that we don't necessarily have to make. Keep on doing it please.

[@Operational117]

At 22:10 with number 18, it looks like a crack along the digitizer... is it just a hairstraw? If not, you may wanna test the touch feature of that one. EDIT: Corrected number from 17 to 18... you said number 18 on two of them, and that confused me.

[@originalrobski]

I caught that too... had to hit the comments to see if anyone else had aswell 🤣

[@stevenlewis1612]

Have no clue why the fascination of watching Steve fix things. Even thou this is something I would never attempt it is actually very calming to watch. Very humble man in my opinion. Seems you sell those switches faster then you can fix em...
