Nintendo Switch No Power Not Charging Repair. Full Diagnostics. USB C Charging Dock Replacement

[@NotPayton]

This is the most detail-oriented soldering you'll see on KZbin. A perfect repair

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Thanks, appreciate you saying that

[@MicroMageRepair]

Nice work! One change I would recommend is not to plug the unit in before inspecting the port. Can go from fixable to catastrophic pretty easy depending on what pins are bent over to what.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Ah Interesting! Good point

[@joesipaq]

This guy is great. Helped me fix up a switch too! Thanks!

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

No, you're great for watching!

Thanks! I'll keep going!

13:00 Thanks for showing this way to remove extra solder. I thought this wouldn't work so I've never tried.

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Glad I could help

[@fernandodeleon9727]

When testing with the multimeter on diode mode… it’s important to put the red probe on ground and the black one on the components or it doesn’t matter which you use? Great video btw

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Yes, in diode mode, red probe MUST be on ground for it to work. And thank you for watching!

When using low melt solder on the outer pins and anchor points. Are you not at a higher risk of ripping the hidden pins, as that solder will take longer to melt compared to when you see the rest liquify?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

No because you don't pull hard when removing the port. also, the inner pins have lower thermal mass, so they melt way before the anchors do anyway. The goal is to gently put pressure upwards until you feel it loose then you can proceed to pull upwards. But it requires you to just be mindful of the delicate pads & always have that in mind when removing it. if you feel resistance, it's probably not melted & requires more heat or time.

[@ifixphonesplymouth906]

@@VCCBoardRepairs Thanks for the info. I've never pulled a pad, but I've never put low melt on the pins due to what I though above. Nicely done video 👌

[@davidalmond1950]

Hi Jesse, thanks for the in depth guide on diagnosing switch that won’t charge/boot, I have one coming in and before watching this video wouldn’t know where to start. I feel confident now 🙂 Could you tell me the model of your DC power supply? I have a £60 one off Amazon and it doesn’t seem that great. I’m after something that can handle laptops as well as phones which is reliable and will last me many years. Thanks again, Dave (UK)

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

Glad it helped you better understand. I use the KORAD 3005P but any should work. What is the issue you're having with yours exactly?

[@punjabi470]

Hi, I have question a Nintendo switch switch came in for repair I change the usb port and P13 chip as it had shots. Now switch is fix working and charging fine. But the problem is it is not docking. I have checked LCD connector it is fine as well and there is no shot around M92 chip as well. But still not image on TV. What could the problem and advice

[@jbsmith86]

Don't use low melt, there's hidden pins and you can rip them this way

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

I've never had a problem ripping pads with this method. I understand how this works.

[@Aethelbeorn]

43:30 Is charging the battery above nominal okay to do? Or is doing this in short bursts okay?

[@VCCBoardRepairs]

i just charge it above 3.2V, then let the Switch do the rest of the charging

[@Aethelbeorn]

19:30 That's because Apple isn't repair friendly.
