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! 😀
Stop putting yourself down, you're doing great!!!
Lies
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.
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!!
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
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.
Great video, always glad to help ya Joey 😉
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 :)
Joey your channel is awesome!
I like how you explain what you’re doing and the videos are short and well put together.
Good luck on your work brother!
Really appreciate that Thankyou!
Yeah, thanks for explaining the part where you were checking continuity! Never really understood how that worked
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.
Great stuff man glad to see you having good luck this time congrats man 😀
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
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!
Awesome channel and content mate keep it coming. Thanks
Yes more electronics. Dope vids man
superb editing and pace.. really enjoyed from start to finish.. and now, subscribed.
Thankyou really appreciate that :)
Just discovered you today. I love the P&L sheet transparency!
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)?
Great video, I like your style! I see tremendous growth in your channel's future. Good luck!
thanks :)
Just found your channel, subscribed!
Would love to see your take on repairing tools (multi meters, digital micrometers etc)!
How have I only just found this channel! Easiest subscribe of my life! Great content fella!
Thankyou pal :)
Boom! Another profit. Amd yes, I would like to see you fixing various electronics, not just consoles. Have a nice sunday.
Thankyou Leon :)
really good video mate i actually enjoyed watching :)
Second unit fuls marked P - probably polyfuse - ie resets itself. The continuity issue on it was probably conformal coating as opposed to flux.
yes, others too. its fun watching you do so!
Fixing broken fishing bite alarms and radio receiver's. The cost of these is incredible for what they are.
amzing video was fun to watch love to see more switches
I wanna see some laptops get fixed up.... A mix of old and new if you're up for the challenge
Awesome Video Joe does tech
Good luck Joey!
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.
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 :)
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.
I solely repair Gameboys. I’m amazed how little tech has changed the last 20-30 years.
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.
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.
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.
Nice job! Maybe blue tac would get the metal powder out, or something else like it, cheers
I am probably going to binge watch this series tonight
Did you? 😂
you could share time spend fixing including looking up stuff and ordering items/pickup. Besides cool stuff.
Great video. Oh yes i would also love to see different electronics beside game-consoles. Would be great. Greets
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.
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.
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.
Quick tip on the paper faced stickers - use WD40. Saturate and wait a few minutes and the sticker will peel right off. Removed countless stickers with that process.
WD-40 can be harmful to plastic. Gotta be careful.
Lighter fluid is better. Doesn't leave any greasiness 😊
@@osky516 Great suggestion, thank you.
1:28 so excited he couldn't speak and almost did an aheago face
Deffo do some electronic slippers, been trying to fix mine and can’t find a decent video showing how.
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.
that was great and I like your electronic workshop. please make a video about your equipment.
In the spread sheet should have money made from the RUclips video about the repairs aswell that would go to the total profit :)
If you suspect it's the back light you can use a torch see if there is an image on the screen.
You got your own little "Steve" 3D printed. Nice touch.
I would love you to fix anything, and teach us in the process!
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.
Yes joey! More electronics! A laptop maybe?
Can you please talk about your microscope and the stand you are using and where you got it?
Hello Joey,
I hear you guys always talking about leded solder. But where can i buy it?
Thanks!!🤗
Very interesting videos. I’d be interested in seeing you fix things like, gaming headphone/ Bluetooth headphones.
Monitors and maybe even phones.
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?
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.
Sweet nice win for you Joey
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 :)
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
Just a great easy to watch video
Great that the outcome was in your favour
Peace
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 :)
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
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.
If you use some Flitz it will buff out some of the light scratches and deep clean the plastic.
great content, i love fixing things and its good for the environment.....
First time I watch your video and I gatta say I’m impressed
Thanks :)
Yeah it would be kind of cool to see you do other things than just game consoles
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!!
Great video!!!
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?
I was thinking the exact same thing....
Nice video , but that beep delay on the continuity mode gonna drive me crazy
Thumbs up for shouting out the LEGEND My Mate Vince!
👏👏👏
I am also looking for faulty garbage to fix, iPhone 5,6 and 8 seem to be the best right now
(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
Yes please, different electronics!
Would be great to see at the end of those videos for how much you sold them :)
Backlight is 1 of the small ones over to the right there is 2 cables together
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
Get into fixing hi fi amps, there are sooooo many broken amps knocking about that can be easily fixed by replacing caps etc, good money In them.
where do you sell your repaired items and what is your sellers ID. thanks Joey!
What do you use to remove sticker residue?
First video I've watched of yours
Hey thanks! Isopropyl Alcohol :)
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!
More and more please 🥺🥰
Nice video thanks 👍
Nice fix Joey .
14:47 After That you Must clean whole Board …. Or next Time prepare it befor you built it in.
Other type of eletronics would be cool too
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!
You could fill the port with blu-tak before dremelling to keep shards out.
Wow that’s a great tip, thanks :)
What liquids do you use to clean the components?
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.
Just seen this love the video but was just wondering why you were wearing headphones?
Where is a good place to buy chips and usb ports for the switch? :o
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
