I have a switch lite in pieces, tried to change the charge port but failed miserably. Would love to send it to you for repair and who knows maybe make a video from. Let me know
Oh yes electronic slippers is a must. But definately branch off into fixing random everyday objects too, like toasters, hoovers, maybe house phones and TV remote controls. Anything that can be opened up and has a circuit board😆🤟 your loyal follower, Dave🤟
Yes please, different electronics! Game console repair videos seem saturated IMHO, and personally I will probably need to repair one myself. Variety is spice of life! 😀
Reality is that there's a good resale value on used console but on other electronics it's very hard to sell them. Also these have infinite variations so it's not too bad
Hey Joey what a small world just discovered your channel remember watching you on twitch (RuneScape)
WOW! That's a huge throwback! Hey bud glad you found me 😁
@@JoeyDoesTech you used to play RuneScape? subscribed.
Fixing electronics is a gold mine.
I was looking for a switch for our family and the going rate (in Australia) at the time was $300+ second hand.
I guy was selling one with a few issues for $140 with the dock so I took a gamble.
Just needed two new ribbon cables (one for each joycon) and a new right rail on the switch and it worked 100%
Total cost of parts to me was $14 and about 30 minutes to complete.
I think people need to not be scared to open up and replace parts on things.
I’m glad you had the one with the screen out. I’m new to repairing Switches, and I have one just like that. I can hear it working but no screen. I wasn’t sure where to start troubleshooting, but now I do! Thanks!!
Send it to this guy to fix ?
@@why_wait bro it’s not worth sending a broken switch from the States to the UK for a repair. I’ve already repaired it though. This comment is a year old. Thanks for the advice though 🤣
@@njones621 I wouldn't have known you were in the US
@@why_wait there are 195 countries on this planet and you assumed I was in one of them.
You could consider stuffing the port with cotton or something before dremeling, if it doesn't catch on fire it'll catch all the little metal filings, saves a lot of cleaning.
That was the tidiest bit of soldering I've ever seen on a port, well done. subscribed.
Thankyou :) welcome!
@@JoeyDoesTechCan you explain the process you did? I've never seen that "gunky" looking solder before. I've only seen the solder in a wire form.
Having done the same thing with other tech I can tell you that I average about 2 out of 3 that can be fixed while the other one can be used as a parts machine. As long as you shoot for being able to make a small profit from fixing the first one you will be able to consistently come out ahead.
Boom! Another profit. Amd yes, I would like to see you fixing various electronics, not just consoles. Have a nice sunday.
Thankyou Leon :)
This series seems absolutely interesting :) I'd love to do such microsoldering repairs myself. I once bought a Macbook, repaired the Logic board and sold it again. Did a horrible job on that one, had to make a jumper wire and no clue, what I was doing there actually :)
I'd love, if this series had its own balance account. E.g. you start with 50£ and only basic equipment and work your way up from there :)
Stop putting yourself down, you're doing great!!!
Lies
A variety of electronic device repairs would be good. Not everyone has a need to repair a Switch or Xbox. Your explanations of your repair processes are excellent.
How have I only just found this channel! Easiest subscribe of my life! Great content fella!
Thankyou pal :)
I'd prefer you to continue with consoles or maybe computers (especially laptops) or tablets, but if you decide to do other repairs as well I'd still be happy to follow your channel.
Thanks Luca :) Laptops would be cool!
Second unit fuls marked P - probably polyfuse - ie resets itself. The continuity issue on it was probably conformal coating as opposed to flux.
1:28 so excited he couldn't speak and almost did an aheago face
Great content! Very inspirational and loads of useful information. I'd love to see a video of the actual sales of the items. Just a full circle video showing that the model is proven and not just in theory. Again, great content. Cheers
Thanks! That might be a good idea :)
Great stuff man glad to see you having good luck this time congrats man 😀
Would love to see these fixes done without any donor board.It's nice to be able to trial-n-error stuff and find out what is and isn't working by swapping parts over, but what if you don't have access to a known working donor (or bits of it)?
I solely repair Gameboys. I’m amazed how little tech has changed the last 20-30 years.
Yes, we all want to see you fix electronic slippers 👍
I KNEW IT!
@@JoeyDoesTech Please try to fix Steelseries Arctis 9 with crackling/popping sounds
Trouble is Labour at an hourly rate will have a very large impact on net profit. Seeing as you are in the UK and use sterling just have spreadsheet columns for labour and tax and then we can see real profit (net). No confusion then.
He's doing the work himself though, so the labor is the profit. Once all other costs are factored you calculate the remainder as profits per hour, that's your net.
Just discovered you today. I love the P&L sheet transparency!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I will start bidding the same items you are bidding. Will try fixing for aernings also. I do hope i will won more auctions than you do. Will check buy it now items also regularly.
Fixing broken fishing bite alarms and radio receiver's. The cost of these is incredible for what they are.
You got your own little "Steve" 3D printed. Nice touch.
yes, others too. its fun watching you do so!
I am probably going to binge watch this series tonight
Did you? 😂
Awesome Video Joe does tech
Awesome channel and content mate keep it coming. Thanks
With some screens with a dead or non working backlight you can sometimes shine a flashlight on it and you can vaguely see the screen if it's on.
My son bought a switch light off of Facebook market and found out that Luigis haunted mansion was left in it.
Deffo do some electronic slippers, been trying to fix mine and can’t find a decent video showing how.
1:36 How about electronic cars for a change, like a Tesla maybe? Any model will do Ludacris or not as long as it can be fixed
amzing video was fun to watch love to see more switches
really good video mate i actually enjoyed watching :)
Yes more electronics. Dope vids man
On the first Switch Lite I would of done a trick I use to do on laptops and LCD screens in the 90's to mid 2000's to determine if it was the screen of just the backlight. Shine a high powered flash light across the screen at an angle, if the LCD is working with no backlight you should be able to see a faint image on the screen if you get the light and your head positioned right. Which would say bad backlight. Otherwise probably be a bad LCD panel. Also from my experience the backlight or backlight power invertor goes out way more often than the LCD itself.
you could share time spend fixing including looking up stuff and ordering items/pickup. Besides cool stuff.
"You can pick up a Nintendo Switch Light Shell for L30" 16:57 Didn't you use a new screen as well as a new shell?
You should replace the serial number sticker with the original one. For me it wouldn't be a complete repair without everything being correct with the new one.
Or simply transfer the screen to the other chassis. People might buy a blue one for a higher price than a yellow one.
Can you please talk about your microscope and the stand you are using and where you got it?
Great video, I like your style! I see tremendous growth in your channel's future. Good luck!
thanks :)
No , not a wast of time removing the sticker from the screen protector , the screen protector is there for a reason as it's name suggests.
Five minutes of " work " and the protector is still there doing it's job
Nice job! Maybe blue tac would get the metal powder out, or something else like it, cheers
In the spread sheet should have money made from the RUclips video about the repairs aswell that would go to the total profit :)
(Sorry for poor grammar btw)
Such a lucky repairs, however i've got one question. Why you used usb port from full size switch, instead of this first console with broken lcd? I mean, it works but you just make yourself more work with grinding!
Anyway, I've subbed,hope to see more good repairs
Great video, always glad to help ya Joey 😉
Just found your channel, subscribed!
Would love to see your take on repairing tools (multi meters, digital micrometers etc)!
If you use some Flitz it will buff out some of the light scratches and deep clean the plastic.
First time I watch your video and I gatta say I’m impressed
Thanks :)
I have been waiting for your work with dremel, when i saw what kind od USB, you used, why didnt you show how you worked with that.
Is the screen on the Switch lite so integrated (or I guess just glued in) that it's more effort than it's worth to try to swap out for the nicer case?
Hey joey, i think with that first switch it was something to do with the ribbon cable for the backlight. When you showed the two small cables on the daughter board one had a slight white mark on the end. Might be the cable scratched/damaged
On that first one I bet the max ic on the back side of the board under the lcd connector is bad. Have repaired one or two that way.
What do you use to remove sticker residue?
First video I've watched of yours
Hey thanks! Isopropyl Alcohol :)
I too also call for different items. Happy to see consoles, but they just seem pretty predictable now due to your knowledge and I for one would like to see some new discoveries, even if older retro consoles.
14:47 After That you Must clean whole Board …. Or next Time prepare it befor you built it in.
I am also looking for faulty garbage to fix, iPhone 5,6 and 8 seem to be the best right now
Nice video , but that beep delay on the continuity mode gonna drive me crazy
Great video dude! After the first Switch fix you said ‘Parental Controls have been removed’ how did you go about doing that? I bought one with them on and as they are attached to someone’s account I cannot get it off😬 Even contacted Nintendo and they said they can’t do anything 😕 Thanks dude
Yes joey! More electronics! A laptop maybe?
Hello Joey,
I hear you guys always talking about leded solder. But where can i buy it?
Thanks!!🤗
You are using a wireless soldering iron in your videos? I was looking for a decent soldering iron and hot air station something better then this combo set I have right now. Any recommendations?
Good luck Joey!
Very interesting videos. I’d be interested in seeing you fix things like, gaming headphone/ Bluetooth headphones.
Monitors and maybe even phones.
If you suspect it's the back light you can use a torch see if there is an image on the screen.
Weird connection but the transition music you use at about three and a half minutes is the exact same music as used on NorCalCycling for transitions and race footage.
😂😂 if it works it works!
Thumbs up for shouting out the LEGEND My Mate Vince!
👏👏👏
that was great and I like your electronic workshop. please make a video about your equipment.
Just stumbled upon your channel and absolutely love your enthusiasm, presentation style, and hard work! Earned a sub and can't wait to see more!
Thankyou! Welcome :)
this is one of those things i never understand how you could get into. It looks fun and a fairly good turnover but where on earth do you get the knowledge on how to do this! i would be way too scared to buy a broken switch with the intent of repairing it.
I had to jump into the deep end and say "I'm going to lose money doing this!". I started with Nintendo DS Lites and just replacing the screens :)
That ribbon cable connecting the motherboard and daughter board was bad on one of the switch lites I got and it did the same thing. Everything looked good so I tested each pin and one pin was bad swapped it and screen worked fine
Ahh good to know! Thanks :)
Man, if a case can sell for 30 quid, wouldn't it be most profitable to buy these broken systemes, fix them until you know all the parts work, and then just sell every single part separately as tested repair parts?
I understand that that's a lot more tedious, but it seems like you could really maximize the profit per unit that way.
Would be great to see at the end of those videos for how much you sold them :)
great video - always really enjoy your channel/content. Once your repair these consoles do you always resell them just as the console only - ie no cables. controllers etc
Thankyou Mark! Yes unless I have controllers and cables to go with them :)
I wanna see some laptops get fixed up.... A mix of old and new if you're up for the challenge
Remember, your vat is only applicable at 16.67% of the difference in buy/sell if you’re a business
Backlight is 1 of the small ones over to the right there is 2 cables together
Great video. Oh yes i would also love to see different electronics beside game-consoles. Would be great. Greets
Hi joey! which microscope are you using. I dont remember if you mentioned it, but the image looks amazing
Hey bud! Hope you’re doing well.
It’s the AD407 scope - andonstarmicroscope.com/?ref=JDT
@@JoeyDoesTech Ahh it has HDMI. Thanks Joey! excellent video as always!!
Just seen this love the video but was just wondering why you were wearing headphones?
You should take a little bit of white paint on your logo coin to make your letters pop.
Great shout!
It's usually the backlight cable that fails in the switch! I'm pretty sure that's what was faulty as I had the same issue.
Great video!!!
You could fill the port with blu-tak before dremelling to keep shards out.
Wow that’s a great tip, thanks :)
Does Nintendo not remove the parental controls in the UK? I had one I purchased that all I did was give Nintendo a little info and paid like .50 to verify I was an adult lol
Joey I know this is a really old video just looking through the back catalogue of videos. In Sally's spreadsheet, you costed the shell, but if you bought that and failed to fix it you already took a loss on the item, so doesn't that mean you have 'already paid for it' ? Unless I missed something while my six year old was yabbering at me lol
Vintage electronics could be interesting 🙏 e.g. hi-fi stuff
😂 uses a calculator to add stuff up before entering it into Excel - Classic!
that ebay 80% off fee for select sellers seems to be only a UK thing, Im jealous!
In Germany, eBay is now completely free for private sellers!
Why do you count the shell if you put the turquoise one back in your inventory? Seems like a 0 to me
Yes please, different electronics!
What was the starting point to.learn this? I have no background in electronics brother do I need to do.a degree or course in electronics?
How long did this whole process take? From the fixes through the editing?
Corrr now you're asking! I usually use a full day a week to record and edit. I'd say from start to finish, 12 hours give or take.
Fix whatever you want to fix. I will watch it.
Very good video
Thanks :)
Nice fix Joey .
Nice video 👍
