I Bought 3 Faulty SWITCH DOCKS off of eBay | How Many Can I FIX?!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 дек 2021
- I bought this joblot of Nintendo Switch Docks from eBay for £27. The listing didn't say what was wrong with them, but stickers on 2 of them say "No Power X"
Let's see how many we can repair!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

Rumour has it Steve fixed number 2 just by looking at it 😁
It probably didn't want to be sang at! 🤣
shouldn't spoil the video
Eating more fiber rich food usually does the trick.
he threatened it with a rap
Man, absolutely love your videos. I've been enjoying your content so much. Your set up is great, you're calm and funny, totally deserve more subs, likes and views. I really like the fact you don't edit out your mistakes, you learn from them and share that knowledge with us! Keep up the good work!!
*TIP*
🐨 When Placing or Replacing a New Chip to the PCB, Heat the Solder on the PCB whilst Holding the Chip *AWAY* from where it is to be placed, Once solder glisten's or presents that it's Liquifying place the New or Donor Chip down into place and nudge into position, Anyway by the time it finds it's place Via surface tension you will find the replacement is exposed to a lot less heat time..
APU I dropped a 👉👍👈
Thanks 🐨! Excellent tip as always! Much appreciated 👍
Only channel where you can enjoy some repairs and get some free karaoke if you wait until the end. Nice!!
😁 thanks Jay! 🤣
yes i must admit i did'nt believe you could do it but you did,you really are becoming very good at fixing .
lol, loving your video uploads, Steve. Brilliant fault finding and mixed with your singing, makes this one of my top 5 RUclips channels.
Thanks scouse! Much appreciated! 👍
Steve, I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming and your repairs are not just enjoyable entertainment you really do have a unique approach to problem solving. Hi to dave..
Thanks Oz! Really appreciate that 👍
Same as he said! :D Love the content
Thanks for another great vid Steve. It's funny on ebay how not working sometimes means working, but untested always means not working. Nice they added some kisses for this one though 😂
🤣 thanks Jon, the kisses were a lovely little touch! 😁
I've bought from this seller, and mine say dead x
Great results Steve ... plus a spare to scavenge for parts. Buying as part of a broken item can be much more cost effective route to build your spares holding ... assuming your partner doesn’t begrudge you the space to store things. .... plus another song for the album of repair anthems. Keep up the great work 😀👍
😁 thanks Chris! Definitely made more sense to use one of these for parts, I've saved £1 straight away by using that chip, and the rest of the board, USB C ports and casing will come in useful at some point I'm sure! 👍
Just found your channel and subbed buddy. Your humor is hilarious hahaha. Im terrible and fixing stuff like this but it is a good watch for me maybe i will learn a thing or two from your vid's :) . Keep up the good work bud your vid's are awesome :)
I only watch for the end credits. 🤣
Great fix Steve, I've seen a few of these faulty but never attempted a repair.
😁 thanks Craig!
Worth a thumbs up for the song at the end alone.
I love all your videos but I have no idea how on Earth you find such great deals on faulty gaming equipment.
"no power kiss" is actually an extremely common fault.
The issue stems from the dock's inability to feel love. Usually this is a terminal condition that can't be fixed. There is a part cut out of this video where Dave performs extensive counseling for the docks
Great job Steven? No wonder it's raining and we have a storm your singing is tragic 😂 love you Steven x
🤣 I take full responsibility for the current storm! And I apologise! 😁
Hey Steve. New viewer. I repaired a dock for a friend of mine a few months ago that had the symptoms of your "donor" board. There's a BGA chip under the HDMI cage. I actually replaced it with a chip I found for 25 dollars on ali and, miraculously, it fixed it. Hope it helps if you ever revisit some day.
$25 for one chip? That seems way too high
@@techfan1017 you're suggesting I buy a brand new docking station maybe?
@@TheSoapyJew he said he got those for $9 each and they have many parts in them, including probably the part you bought. These docks are like $40 in working condition so I think you just overpaid...
@@TheSoapyJew You can get them at thrift store or locally for $30 bucks. Thrift store is $10 or less
The motherboard is into 30 bucks
Great fix there Steve , remined me of fixes Vince did on a job lot of docks some time ago , but hey Meatloaf - nice 1 mate 👍
👍 Thanks Chris, yes I remember Vince's video! and I love a bit of Meatloaf! 😁
Hahah. I love future-editor-Steve clowning on past-Steve.
Poor past-Steve doesn't deserve it.
Third t-shirt is amazing! I love me some Gravediggaz
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth
Always good seeing these kind of vids thanks. Ok, how does one repair a faulty ac power supply for a Nintendo Switch? Looked everywhere but nada. Looking forward to reply on this. It seems I'm plagued by failing psu's lately. Probably due to cold damp weather conditions..? If I was to buy new for all it would cost a small fortune. Help!
Amazing and so is the singing LOL. Keep it going!
Thanks M m! 👍😁
Good video x
slick gravediggaz shirt
I always really liked Meatloaf! I've never had any beef with him. I'll do anything for you brother Steven! but I won't do that X 😂👍🏻
🤣🤣 you took the words right out of my mouth, brother Steve! 😁
Steve we need a t-shirt collection video! You got some 🔥🔥
I did this with laptops, there was a job lot of 20,not damaged but eventually repaired and profit
You had me at the meatloaf singing
😬 thanks retro bros!
Loving the gravediggaz t-shirt 👌🔥
Nice fix Steve! I had the exact same issue with mine. No power, then replaced M92T55 and voila. I also have an other one like you with green light on but no display. That one I could not fix. There is a BGA chip behind the HDMI port under the shield. That could be similar like a retimer chip on an Xbox. Could pretty much be that is wrong. But I ended up similarly like you, the chips are so expensive that it does not worth to repair...
Thanks Kiki! I was going to take off the shielding to see what was under near the HDMI port, but I just decided to use it as a donor. I would like to find out what the issue is, so I might have another go. I'm guessing it's quite a common fault!
Always those M92's 😂 Good fix man 👍 Dope gravediggaz shirt.
😁 cheers SpaceGod! Love Gravediggaz! 👍
Fantastic. You singing. Tour fantstic Person. Thanks for the fix . Sorry for My english
😁 Thank you Tic!
Lol in London that band's name is slang for ahem a lady's exclusive product that us blokes would not be using and is a considered very naughty word...
Yeah, I try to say it fast and include Berlin so people might not notice! 😬
Great video mate
Cheers mate! 👍
Ahhaha I remember that eBay auction, glad you got them and was able to fix. It’s surprising how many on eBay don’t really check stuff properly
😁 thanks Roy! Yeah, it always baffles me. I guess some sellers just don't spend any time testing properly!
@@StezStixFix yep, I bought a dock that was supposed to have no power, but after cleaning it, it started working.
We love you!
Love the Grave Diggaz!!!
Good job steve
Thanks Herve! 👍
liking that gravediggaz shirt!
nice good one
Weird issue I am having and wonder if you have some insight. My docks USB ports only work when the switch is not on the dock or off. It will charge the pro controller when it is off but if I try to plug in a wired controller or a fight stick I get nothing. I also can not update any controllers as when the system is on nothing is recognized. thanks for any help on this issue!
Damn Gravediggaz t-shirt... You got my sub just for that!
M92T36 and the M92T36 are both USB-C Power Battery Charging Control IC so it makes sense how frying it will prevent the device from charging
That tidbit about third party charges frying the usb-c port is probably why my docking station doesnt work anymore =(. I get a green light for a split second, and then the light disappears.
Huge black market of switch dock back plates somewhere !
Is that stuff you're lathering on the boards before applying heat; flux? Im assuming it is but just wanted to make sure. I have 6 'junk' gameboys coming in the mail - You've inspired me to try my hand at fixing 'retro' consoles. Its only the start of my journey in this but hope its a productive one. Please keep making videos!
Diary of a mad man 🔥
Get in... 😁👍
2 cups of blood, boy. Good stuff, m8.
I have exactly the same problem with my dock, no light, no image no nothing, but I've always used the default charger for the dock, I wonder if it is the same chip that is causing the issue.
Thanks for the video! I have a similar problem. When i plug che usb charger, the output charge the nintendo for 1 second and then stops. Do you know what could be hapenning ?
Idk boss 10$ regardless if you payed 9 for the dock plates it could be worst. You know as well as others that dive into the pcb world, the chips depending on the unit are sometimes hard to come by. If your lucky you can buy them in singles but pricey ….Sometimes…. Or you have to look for what we call a parts board or just a friendly “let’s see if this chip works better on the other board lol. Anyways nice video as always watching your videos just reminds me of good ol days and it makes me want to fix more and more things. Buying things from where your from seem to be a lil cheaper sometimes I wish I could find good deals, at one point nobody was doing things like this it was like a blessing and collecting and buying games and some other stuff was easier. Now it’s like every follower is doing just that and buying all resources bcuz they think now that they can fix everything and anything. I’ve seen it first hand not to mention I like watching your videos and when watching i seen a few videos where someone did say they tried fixing it then another same thing but didn’t say the actually made the console worst and some they played it off as to be sneaky that they didn’t try fixing the console when especially someone like yourself that’s been doing it for a while and um hello that is your entire RUclips channel lol. They just don’t want to look or feel dumb when I know sometimes they right you a note or there’s a note on eBay saying “it just stopped working, never been opened “ lol and 9 times out of 10 you come out golden 👍.. Anyways much respect all the way from “ARIZONA “ I know this video is kinda old but your personality and technique is on point always again good stuff keep it up… see you on your next new video.
Been here, seen it, got the switch dock. IYKYK
Volbeat rocks!
that gravediggaz shirt!
I'm wondering if you have a setup so you're not breathing in the fumes from the flux. I notice you don't wear a mask, so I figured you have something for ventilation. Keep making great content :)
IMO considering the prices of docks are $90CAD ish 10quid for the IC + 9quid for the rest actually justifies buying the replacement IC and repairing it. You could turn a profit.
bought a ps4 slim same place tested not working 50 bucks. it works buid a data rebuild turned off abruply during i bet firmware update or download
solid year later amd it wad on fw 9.0! lg v60 no wifi bust wanted yhe screen 40 bucks. works not one issue 70 feet outside works great! switch oled tested wont turn on power for 15 seconds bam! 70 bucks works. ps3 slim untested works flawlessly. thought the hdd was loosing blocks
cfw. new ssd runs smooth 50 bucks. plus many accesories. all of which works. its a gamble over the years not mamy losses usually untested for means to busy yo boot up chop is as untested. tested whatever seller felt to say at the time. or not fully doing simple checks. man gambling is an addiction. time to play the lottery! haha
@@rchaze you sound both high and drunk at the same time. Don't care.
12:09 the original board? Aren't they all original? 😅
Niice! 👍
Erm... could you you have just taken the ribbon and usb dock off #1 and tried it on the power/no display before all the soldering of the m92?
Nice fix. Mine went back to Nintendo and got replaced (not cheap). It was charging and there was power on the USB ports but no picture on the monitor and the battery was damaged. Wonder what caused what there.
I have the same issue. How much did the repair cost?
It was around $AUD240, they swap it for a new on
If you setup these after fixing do you have to list them as "refurbished"?
What's the gel you put on the chips before you heat them up? Looks like it instantly melts?
Flux
I'm just here for the singing.
Guys into hiphop Music makes the channel even better .. 6 feet deep was a dope album
One side of the storrrry
What is the goop you put on the n95 chip B4 removing. I'm a soldering noob btw, I'm not being a smart arse
i have a Nintendo switch...the dock has a green light when I put the switch on it and its charging but the image doesn't appear on my tv...what might be the problem? please :)
i tried most of the obvious solutions like turning it off and on or changing resolution but the problem still persist
Where’d you buy that usb c breakout board?
always use genuine ac adapters
Hi bud I’ve been really really lucky and bought a unfortunately non working ( I think belts have gone ) Sony wm 2 Walkman one of the original ones would you’ll consider having a go at repairing it please as I have no clue but am sooo chuffed to finally find one.. how do I get in touch if you are in agreement cheers Ritchard
Great work Steve, would u consider obtaining that chip to try n diagnose the last one? I know u said its wasnt worth it but I think u might identify something new which maybe isnt out for content already.
Thanks Michael! I have been thinking about it! I think if I can pick one up or possibly even another faulty dock... I am curious to know why it wasn't displaying, and you're right - i haven't seen any other videos on YT with that specific problem! 👍
@@StezStixFix That's awesome, much appreciated for the feedback. Totally understand and looking forward to the next video
i think I changed over a few chips and I didn't get anywhere, but I did but them to one-side.
annoyingly there's a few different revisions off this board, and I ended up opening up two different revisions.
Could you give us a quick visit around your "fixing office" and your tools?
👍 I did that a few months back. Since then, I've upgraded my hot air station to the Quick 861. Video here: ruclips.net/video/gnEtSRYnxGY/видео.html
Poor Meat Loaf, he probably heard you singing and ended up killing him.... LOL
J/K of course.
😁 very possibly! rip Meatloaf 🙏
Did you ever fix the 3rd by ordering another M92 chip?
lol 2 out 3 is certainly ok :D
M92T17 I believe does display and M92T55 I believe does power. Could be the other way tho so don't hold me to that lol
Thanks Philip, that would make sense as it definitely fixed the no power issue. I made a bit of an educated guess as to which one of the M92's was faulty, but I was prepared to swap them both over if required. Worked out nice in the end!
@@StezStixFix atleast you know you can fix the other one also with some new chips
Awesome repair Stez....your musical choices though.... 😂
🤣 I'm sorry Micro! 😁
@@StezStixFix 🤣
Im having an issue with my dock and it's exactly like the 3rd one. It was working fine one day then stopped working the next day. I've tried everything and nothing has worked so I think I'll just have to get rid of it.
Are you sure it's not the switch itself?
The switch has chokes right around the PI32USB chip which are video filters. If one shorts, the unit won't "dock". Your dock may be perfectly fine, unless you've already tested it with another switch and verified it's not fine....
@@brandonkick Thanks for the message yeah I've tried it with multiple switches and the dock is the only thing with the issue.
@@_egglord If your determined to fix it, there are usually 3 things that go wrong when a switch won't dock.
1) The video filters / chokes on the switch motherboard around the PIUSB32 chip but you've already ruled this out by trying other switches
2) The MT92T55 charging circuit chip inside the switch dock. These get damaged primarily when non OEM chargers are used but can fail otherwise
3) USB-C ports. I've seen switches fail to dock, but still work fine, due to damage to the switch's USB-C port (you've also ruled this out). But there's also a USB-C port in the switch dock itself. THAT port can be damaged too.
My suspect in your case would be the MT92T55 chip on the dock motherboard.
RIP Meatloaf
Please confirm if Dave is okay! your singing might have disrupted his home
🤣 luckily he's protected by a few centimeters of resin! hopefully it's sound-proof for his sake! 😁
I come here for the fix, I stay because of the singing
I only watch these for the singing.
If you don’t use the Nintendo power cord it came with the dock won’t work
After he fixed it console 69% nice
You should get a job on the I.S.S for NASA Steve.
Great at DOCKING.
🚀
😂 😂 😂
well done. I've bought from this seller before,
no power chargers written on them.
but some worked fine.
i think they sometimes go into protection mode. and the seller hasn't unplugged them, so they end you written it on everything my mistake.
any reason you decided to changed m92t55 and not m92t17, or was it just a lucky punt?
👍 Luck punt Chris. The t55 seemed to be in and around the power circuit, but I was prepared to swap them both over if needs be!
@@StezStixFix yeah sometimes it's quicker doing it than thinking about doing it, isn't it.
I've had faulty switches break docks it the past. i think I have about 5 here if you need parts?
i do always mean to repair them myself, but I alway have no pressing repairs to do. I'll look at them when I run out of docks
How small can this chips be made...I bet in not so far away future it will be impossible to switch chips by hand...
What do you end up doing with a lot of this stuff? Resell? Hang on to? Give them away to family and friends?
A mixture of all of those really. If it's something I don't have, I'll likely keep it. If I know someone who wants/needs it, I'll give it to them. Last resort is probably resell on eBay, 'cos I hate selling stuff on there! 😊
