I'm a locksmith for car keys and I bought bw100 for the shop on your recommendation a couple years back. Stuff legit works miracles. It's saved countless car key fobs, small electronics, and even an electric chainsaw. Stuff is magic in a can, worth the price!
I wish I had started doing this in my 20's vs trying to start in my 30's. The accuracy and delicate touch required only get harder to maintain with age...
I just brought my very first console back to life. My classic grey Gameboy. It was so dirty inside, it didn't play any games anymore. But I deep cleaned him thanks to your videos and IT WORKED!!!!! I'm gonna rock Mario old school! 🙂
Niceeeeeeee!! I recently swapped my GBC for original green to atomic purple, I always wanted that colour as it’s see through and upgraded the screen to a backlit LCD 💙
I've been following your channel for a while and made some repairs on my switch thanks to what I've learned here. Thanks for the great content. Glad to see you healthier.
Iam happy you are back looking healthy and awesome you my friend are one of the best channels because your fixing videos are very calming and easy hope to see you fix a ps6
Just wanted to thank you! I’ve always wanted to tinker with things and your videos finally gave me the confidence to jump in and fix my LG washer instead of looking for a new one! Simple fix that costs $0. Thanks for the videos and happy holidays!
So happy your doing good man I love your videos it even got me started tinkering with my own electronics and fixing things I never thought I could your very easy for the average person to understand
Just came across your videos, scrolled back through and saw you must have had some medical issues. Glad to see you kept posting through your treatment! Looks like you're doing much better, keep up the good work!
I went to an return bin store. Went on $5 day. Found some awesome stuff. Including an oled switch. Which only needed new charge port and be cleaned. They had it hidden on the bottom of a bin. And told people that an oled switch is in one of the bins. Best score from an bin store yet. Seen videos of people finding stuff like that. Thought that it was rigged. Till this.
Wow, that's way way better than what you had on prior job lots! I remember when you previously bought a large job lot of Switches and couldn't even break even, so this was relieving to see!
I had nothing to do with fixing consoles and electronics but since watching these vids im actually working on consoles myself, specially nintendo 2ds/3ds consoles. still a lot of work for me to do and learn but lets see what the future brings.
Steve, love your videos I’ve showed them to my son now he is interested in repairing video game consoles. Thank you for listening all the equipment you use, helped a ton on getting him going. Last thing where can we buy your fixed gaming consoles?
I agree I like the lite for having separate parts , but I hate all the screws and all the different length screws, there is so much to take apart for a repair, so because I prefer sticking with the og Switch!
Brooooo I came across a ps5 3rd gen, the revision right before the slim, for 20 dollars!!! I can’t wait to open it, so far looks like it needs a hdmi and the fan connector is broken. Also it is missing some screws hope it isn’t missing to much though 😅
I wonder where i can get an actual rubber cover for the original stick when the tear out for to much use? All the replacement i found are to large for the naked analog OE stick
My OLED has the same issue with the left joycon just not connecting. It only happened if I only had the tablet docked. I detatched and reattached the ribbon cable at least 2 times. Now I just keep joycons on when it's docked to keep that from happening again
Whow, can you link to or provide the name of the tool use used to extract the broken off headphone jack tip? I've had to work on devices before with similar issues and it took me much longer than that using different techniques. Super awesome tool to have!
Hey Steve, if you get a very little bit of moister in a usb port, can you use BW-100 to spray in there, mix with the moister and evaporate? To dry out the port? Im not talking a lot of moister just basically just from a over humid environment.
curious because i did a similar repair and it took a while for the port to drop - of course i understand editing can take place :). but could you share how hot your hot air was set to? 400 degrees F for example?
I have a switch I attempted to repair, would you like to take a crack at it? Hopefully I didn't mess it up too much, but would be good to see it working!
Hi. I got my sons switch usb c replaced but now it only charges with the charger in one way round and does not dock anymore? This was a while ago and they said it couldn’t be fixed. Does that sound right?
LGR channel bought a "new in box" l PS2 that was a dud.. I told him to reach out but I doubt he did. You should reach out for a collaboration if he hasn't already. Would be an awesome video
I want to get into this for more of a hobby but can't seem to find the return bin stuff. The only thing I'm finding are on eBay and the few that I received have already been messed with . How do you find these and where do you buy your spare parts?
@TheEyeTrax1 oh, I've replaced a lot of charging ports on mobile phones heating them in the front, never actually melted any plastic so far but theyre all micro usb. Maybe type c ports are more sensitive since there are alot of pins
Question: I found a ps4 (full of roaches). I cleaned it out except the power source and got it to work. One day it wouldn't turn on. Note I didn't put new thermal paste. Should I try a new power source or is it fried? Anyone?
@presetts7064 na price of a preowned ps4 drop so much after ps5, is now that kind of thing cheaper just buy a new then get it repaired but is you ps4 do whatever you want with it

@@HerbertAckermanshes a locksmith for car keys tho, totally different 😂
It's 50eur a bottle
I am a locksmith too! I use it everyday for shaving
As someone who has been repairing laptops for over 20 years I can safely say you make this look easier than it is to repair small electronics.
@@Holycurative9610 with repetition it is easy. I’ve replaced the usb c port on at least 30-40 switches now. Pretty easy.
I wish I had started doing this in my 20's vs trying to start in my 30's. The accuracy and delicate touch required only get harder to maintain with age...
@@user-uo8cd6de8d be a grow up guy, accept that people admire and praise others without diminishing it, even if you can do the same or better.
He definitely makes HDMI port swaps look trivial.😅

man you look so much healthier !!!! i had to do a double take on when this was posted.
glad you're doing better man.
what was wrong with him? Was he sick?
@@halop He was suffering from cancer, and went on treatment, and it seems that he got a lot better now.
Me too! We love a healthy king 😂

IM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU DOING WELL STEVE IF YOU DIED I WAS GONNA CRY 😭
He fixes electronics and doctors fix him. So those switches fixed by a man that fixed by a man. Fixception
Switches get stitches!

Nice work, and also nice that most were pretty easy fixes! What is this tool you have to remove broken headphone jacks?! I've never seen this before.
Thank you for your content I've enjoyed every fix's you do, i usually can't comment as I'm watch you on my PS5.

I totally love your videos, they just calm me down so much, and you seem like you really enjoy making them!
Thank you for having the numbers breakdown at the end. Love seeing them 👍
Such good luck on this episode. For extracting stripped screws, Left-handed drill bits are your friend.
Ah man it’s good to see you looking better. 🙏🙏
YES! More satisfying Nintendo Switch repairs. 👏😊
just camming back from work and i see these videos, Great pls dont stop doing content
I had nothing to do with fixing consoles and electronics but since watching these vids im actually working on consoles myself, specially nintendo 2ds/3ds consoles. still a lot of work for me to do and learn but lets see what the future brings.
great vid as always, glad to see you are doing ok ❤
fabulous work as always steve!
Glad to see you're switching things up for this video Steve!
Thanks Steve for the video, i love your videos about Nintendo Switch, great job, greetings from Colombia
vw-100 is legit awesome. I've used it to clean all kinds of gunked up electronics.
Сколько лет владею различными приставками, ни разу ничего не сломалось! 🥸
А у вас, очень познавательный канал! 👍😏
Steve, love your videos I’ve showed them to my son now he is interested in repairing video game consoles. Thank you for listening all the equipment you use, helped a ton on getting him going. Last thing where can we buy your fixed gaming consoles?
Tronixfix long??? Hell yea
Excellent Job 👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻 fixing Nintendo Switch one by one each: Lite, Original to OLED
Next time you have a stripped screw. Put a rubber band between the driver and the screw. It adds more grip while filling in the gaps from the damage.
I love your videos very addictive to watch 🙂
Mister Steve, you're looking in good shape. Good to see you again 🙏
That's a nice haul
Yes! Great haul
Hello Steve, where do you sell your repaired consoles?
I agree I like the lite for having separate parts , but I hate all the screws and all the different length screws, there is so much to take apart for a repair, so because I prefer sticking with the og Switch!
Great video, really enjoyed it, where can we buy the consoles you repair?
Nice job! Amazing Nintendo made something so fixable...
This is one of the most satisfying videos on RUclips.
SWEET, YOU ARE A VERY INTELLIGENT AND SKILLED PERSON. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD.
awesome video, as always, steve! what usb c voltage meter are you using?
I’ve even used BW100 to clean the MAF on my car and it worked perfectly.
I was thinking 'just like that' exactly when you said it 😂
You, sir, are a legend!
Perfect timing for my break 😂
Nice fixes!
I can't believe how easy Switch analogue sticks are, compared to the ones on the V1 and V2 dualsense (non Elite) controllers!
Remember with the switch if it’s dead dead it will barely pull any current for a while (sometimes hours) before it will show signs of life and turn on
Always love Nintendo switch videos
I love your switch videos.
i suggest getting hemostats for better grip on smaller things
nice video man keep it up
Brooooo I came across a ps5 3rd gen, the revision right before the slim, for 20 dollars!!! I can’t wait to open it, so far looks like it needs a hdmi and the fan connector is broken. Also it is missing some screws hope it isn’t missing to much though 😅
Seeing this gives me a little bit of hope, that i can replace the battery socket on my switch lite.
Where can you buy these from you?
I wonder where i can get an actual rubber cover for the original stick when the tear out for to much use? All the replacement i found are to large for the naked analog OE stick
I might get some of that cleaner, I have a remote that may have a dirty potentiometer.
This Christmas im getting a fix tronics kit
Switch au-lait? That sounds fancy!
Could you make a cleaning guide for the switch OLED? I love the ps5 vids and are the ones I use as guide when I have to do the cleaning
My OLED has the same issue with the left joycon just not connecting. It only happened if I only had the tablet docked. I detatched and reattached the ribbon cable at least 2 times. Now I just keep joycons on when it's docked to keep that from happening again
Under tools you use I wish you'd put the usb c volt/amp meter.
Making out like a bandit on this lot!
What device does he use that sounds to know that a component is working? Does anyone know the name?
Whow, can you link to or provide the name of the tool use used to extract the broken off headphone jack tip? I've had to work on devices before with similar issues and it took me much longer than that using different techniques. Super awesome tool to have!
What are your air and temp setting for this operation? Please and thank you 3:32
Where do you buy your old used stuff I want to get an old Nintendo but I can't find it anywhere
You ever repaired a DVD Rewinder?
will the replacement joysticks from switch pro controller work on a power A controller?
Hi, I'm interested in purchasing a couple of the switch lite's. How do I go about that? Thank you
just asking, how many degrees is recommended for soldering/desoldering in most cases?
Hey Steve, if you get a very little bit of moister in a usb port, can you use BW-100 to spray in there, mix with the moister and evaporate? To dry out the port? Im not talking a lot of moister just basically just from a over humid environment.
Oooh love ittt
curious because i did a similar repair and it took a while for the port to drop - of course i understand editing can take place :). but could you share how hot your hot air was set to? 400 degrees F for example?
Do you give discounts if it is missing a screw like in number 11?
What happens when you turn the components the other way round?
Need to fix my kids original. The left controller charges but it doesn't register as docked in the switch. Any thoughts on that?
Where do you get your components from? I have a Retron 5 with a couple of fried bits I need to replace.
I have a switch I attempted to repair, would you like to take a crack at it? Hopefully I didn't mess it up too much, but would be good to see it working!
May i ask what usb wattage/amp meter u are using ? Trying to check what is faulty around here ,Thanks !
Hi. I got my sons switch usb c replaced but now it only charges with the charger in one way round and does not dock anymore? This was a while ago and they said it couldn’t be fixed. Does that sound right?
LGR channel bought a "new in box" l PS2 that was a dud.. I told him to reach out but I doubt he did. You should reach out for a collaboration if he hasn't already. Would be an awesome video
Yeah, I might have to do that. I’ve never actually seen his channel before.
It's a really good retro gaming/PC channel! And he seems like a genuinely good guy like you. Would be awesome to see! @@Tronicsfix
Hey Steve. Could you use BW100 for the USBC on my iPhone 15 and for the speakers on the iPhone as well?
Where do you resell these after you fix them?
I want to get into this for more of a hobby but can't seem to find the return bin stuff. The only thing I'm finding are on eBay and the few that I received have already been messed with . How do you find these and where do you buy your spare parts?
I had a grey normal switch that was returned😊
I bought a broken switch lite , everything works on it now but it won't read games , even after I changed the cartridge reader
Do you have an eBay store? Where can I buy repaired units?
Got a friend who is interested in buying one of your PS5. How much do you sell them for and do you give warranties?
I wish I had that little tool for when my headphone jack got stuck in my PC.
Awesome deal. Good luck and stay fine. Happy Holidays
LGR has a falty PS2 Fat... I commented on his recent video tha I would like to see a colab... would you fix his PS2? Love your videos
I’d sure be happy to give it a try. I’ve somehow never seen his channel before.
@@Tronicsfix I'm a fan of you both. I'm sure you two will have a great time.
Does anyone know why you heat the board at the back when replacing the charging port? Never seen that trick before. Any reason why he does that?
So you don´t melt the plastic in the charging port.
@TheEyeTrax1 oh, I've replaced a lot of charging ports on mobile phones heating them in the front, never actually melted any plastic so far but theyre all micro usb. Maybe type c ports are more sensitive since there are alot of pins
I have a crazy question for you, have you ever had to deal with a banned Xbox X series?
Question: I found a ps4 (full of roaches). I cleaned it out except the power source and got it to work. One day it wouldn't turn on. Note I didn't put new thermal paste. Should I try a new power source or is it fried? Anyone?
@presetts7064
na price of a preowned ps4 drop so much after ps5, is now that kind of thing cheaper just buy a new then get it repaired but is you ps4 do whatever you want with it
Do you have any light switches?
