We had a look at the Nintendo Switch in a livestream, check out if we fixed it here or not 😊😊▶ ruclips.net/user/liveBuWCMjRNoiY?feature=shareg
I have a Nintendo switch light with a faulty charger port I can send for you to have a look at and on the plus side it's content for the channel 😂
check the touchscreen connector on the switch lite. had about 3 times same problem with spots not working on touchscreen. only little bit flux in the connector was the problem or ribbon wasn't pushed in fully.
Having the same issue across 2 separate digitizers seems to indicate a connection issue on the motherboard rather than the digitizer itself.
Did you check the lcd connector on the switch lite? Cutting out on the center of both screens suggests to me that it might be a bent pin on the connector. Also thanks for the great video!
joey does know how to entertain people with repairs
Appreciate that!
u should watch the soldering part while HIGH asf. I was swimming in that liquid thingy
BGA chip is 5.3v buck regulator, fuel gauge and the backlight driver on the complete opposite side of the board.
ALJ = MAX8969EWL53
AJZ = MAX8969EWL50
you need to reflow the touch screen ic. there is for sure a broken connection under it. you will see that the screen will work properly again. or maybe there is issue with the connector on the board
I love the progression of him starting the repair journey to now. Happy to see him more successful!
Sally's spectacular spreadsheet is looking good nice joey
Could be connector on motherboard for the digitizer. Or new digitizer only about a tenner
I think the touch screen problem is on the board, not on the digitizers. Or it needs a recalobration. Either way: Sally is happy and that's good news.
Binge watching your videos , and they could be also called Joey is growing his hair back! :)
Great content! THANKS
I do envy your steady hand! I look like I have Parkinsons when I work under the microscope
IDK about the Switch Lite, but touch is tied to the cartridge module on regular switch. I had touch go out on my son's after the cartridge stopped reading. Come to find out it was a faulty module but has direct bearing on touch as well. If the cartridge module is switchable on the lite and you used the same one on the second screen, try a different cartridge module instead.
Great work man :)
I love it when you do a repair on a switch and it is not as simple as a port swap or just changing BQ and M92 cause I have seen you do it hundreds of times 😁😁
Awesome fixes Joey! Good to see you excel at these repairs now. I do have 1 advice for cleaning up the flux. Instead of pouring the IPA and smearing it over with swabs, I'd recommend you try using paper towel and brush. The towel absorbs the flux when mixed with IPA and leaves the board spotless!
Awesome, Joey. I'm really curious. How did you know that shorted cap was linked to that chip? Do you have schematics or something? Because I would never see that correlation 😂 Keep it up 👍
you can get a new digitizer for the switch light for less than £10
Hey Joey i finally repaired my switch with loosen usb c pads in the first line in the motherboard, i could managed to clean the second line of pads and put a new charging port and works amazing, except only charges in one position, i dont know if it could works in the dock station, i think no. Thank you soo much for the support in one of you last streaming!
Love that Sally gets credit every week for her spectacular spreadsheet.
Nicely done - like your fault finding technique - hope you get another Switch screen to boost profits!!
Going really well ... time to bet it all on one of those tricky Alienware gaming laptops? Keep up the great work 😀👍
Noice repair on both ❤
What soldering iron do u use ? Do u have a equipment tour video ?
Love the videos keep it up
Great work joey been a subscriber for a long time and you just keep getting better mate quick tip I use a flash magic eraser to get rid of the marks on my repaired consoles it works pretty well on mark hope it helps mate god bless
Just a quick tip: buy a cheap pack of baby wipes and let them dry out. Along with a brush, they absorb flux better than chem wipes.
Could be the ribbon cable for the screen. If that is damaged, it will cause dead spots when touching the screen
Haha bro! Hope ya well! Just found ya vid! took me a few mins to realise it was YOU!!! had to google to find out 100 percent! lol liking the content bro!
Hahah hello Dazzer! Hope the family are well
Ipa drip method is genius thanks
Hi joey.silly question but where do you get your gloves from and what are the actual name of them as I have tried to get some online but don’t know what the gloves are called.thanks
Awesome Joey as always!
in Spain, the second hand market (Wallapop its called, or milanuncios) is really hard to buy a nintendo switch broken in a good shape (always like you have it, with loosen bolts, bad repaired chargin ports, missing components... Really bad), and people pay too much for this consoles, buy one is like fight with cannibalisms to get a piece of raw food in bad conditions 😂
Good job on the repairs today!
Just a quick question - the eBay fee being listed as 6.9% - is that for business seller rates, which is what is required for fixing and reselling such items? If so, then business seller fees (including listing fees) are exclusive of VAT, and only sellers registered with HMRC would be able to claim the VAT back.
Hey Joey just curious as to what facecam you use as it’s really nice quality I would imagine the 250D is the overhead camera but I could have it backwards really just curious what the second camera is
Nice 1 on the series X & Switch repairs, it’s a shame the switch touch screen not perfect
What made you swap the chassis of the Nintendo Switch Lite when you could swap out the digitizer instead?
another great content.
Have you done anything with a switch lite that suffers the purple screen of death?
Looks like someone was jabbing that nexus connector with a screwdriver.
Check the digitiser fpc connector on the switch lite
Nearing that £1000 broooo
Joey I’m not sure if you’ll read this but I have a bunch of broken laptops and Chromebooks out of a returns pallet I wouldn’t mind sending you a couple if you want to have a go with them 👍🏻
Hey Karlos! Only if you’re sure? Feel free to reach out to me on Discord, link in description of the video 😊
8:51 I think when buying something from the viewers of this channel, its always safe to assume that the device has been opened before
Yes but also I would never even bother with a Switch to begin with not a new one especially not a broken one. Soon as he mentioned it I was like well that is another console that wont be fixed and time and effort wasted and it was exactly like that. These things are ticking bombs, you fix one thing another thing breaks right there and then or the upcoming days.
Next to thousands upon thousands of handhelds or consoles in general out there some people still wanting a Switch is beyond me ...
Noice! Shame about the Switch but I know we’ll see that again
Yeah I hate when someone’s been inside a “console” before me as well
Don't use MSX. Or u need to adjust the camera manually. I've turned mine off because I had the same issue.
I was literally thinking "Joey hasn't posted a video yet, weird" then boom thanks Joey
Hahaha same here
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
"decent bit of solder bondage" oh no 😭
as others have suggested, check the digitizer connection or the IC before case swap
Does anyone know for sure what that IC is? The one Joey replaced on the Switch. It is marked ALJ.
I have a Switch Lite that is missing that IC.
In all my time of owning a switch (pretty much from release) I've never really used the touch screen... I'd happily buy that if the office reflected the fault
Did you finish going through the first Xbox to change thermal paste and fix the mistakes the previous repair person did?
This I don't understand, why do you place a BIG wire to replace a pad and expect all other pins to solder correctly? they're 0.5mm off the board!!! its best, IMHO to solder new connector and then reconnect missing trace with any wire.
Whenever i hear he's going to put some IPA on it i picture him craving open a nice can if craft beer and just dumping it on the electronics.
I think the previous owner of the xbox might have opened it to swap the ssd to a larger one, and accidentally broke that connector, that's the only thing that makes any sense.
its good if you can get the items i found a job lot of speakers and got them for 30 and sold them all for 120 each was the same capacitor in them all what was blown replaced and all good my issue is i spend longer looking for cheap faulty items than i do actually fixing them
It sucks that the "Nexus connector" isn't something more cool. Why would they name it like a starcraft 2 Protos building and than its just a component.
Nexus connector ^^
What keyboard is that? 8:10
what about shipping costs?
Check the connector.... itss most likely loose
Actually, no sticker makes me think it is a stolen item. Someone stripped off all the identifying marks including the sticker on the front, and probably sold it cheap not working to someone else, who cleaned it and sold it on to you. I don't think you will make much trying to resell it.
I wanted to try this so I bought a broken Nintendo DSi for $20. The only thing wrong with it was no battery, which cost me $8. I looked at how much I could get for it now that it works. About $20.
You could probably just replace the digitizer for less than a housing
Wish i could do this, my original switch wont switch on😂, i put a new battery in it but thats about as good as my diy will allow me, stuff sending it to nintendo they want a small fortune to fix it. Roll on switch2😅
ever thought its not working because of gloves,!
Do you not resell the ones you can’t fix? You wouldn’t get a huge amount obviously but you could reduce the negatives on the spreadsheet.
Assuming you actually mean can't fix, if you do this a lot unfixable machines can still provide valuable spare parts
@@CAMSLAYER13 absolutely I did mean that, I’ve edited it now! I suppose this is true.
Buying. Faulty. ltems. On. EBay. To. Fix. For. Profit. Can. We. Fix. Them?
Nearly paid your months rent.
If thats all thats wrong with that switch i will buy it, depending on cost. As is with no guarantee
My guy you got robbed you can buy them second hand working for that price especially if you got to buy things to replace screws etc
man your camera is mooving
Do you do repairs?
I'd buy that switch for 40...just sayin'....I don't think the touch is an important feature anyway
Hey, can i have a copy of your spreedsheet ?
Thanks
i bet theres people who will buy that switch lite with the touch problem for 50-60 pounds, just say the problem on the listing
0:30 so much wobbling.. it makes me a bit sick
You can only make so much profit if you're doing this solo/as a hobby. Because yaaaay for taxes. Made more than $600 on ebay this year? That needs to be taxed. We'll just take a good chunk of that income. It's so bullshit. For example, if you get a good deal on a broken 360 for like $30 then fix and sell it on ebay for $60, you still have to pay ebay's seller fee of roughly 10% (10% of $60 is $6.) When you bought the item you paid sales tax (8.5% in my state so $5.10) then they tax it AGAIN when you sell it. Like how is that fair?? Of the $30 profit you sold the console for, you're only seeing about $14 of actual profit. I know this is more of a rant, but this is just asinine. The ebay percentage I get. That's a service they're providing for you to sell. But an item getting taxed twice by the gov? They can absolutely piss off. Why can't I do the same thing to them and hold out my hand and say "Hey 8.5% of that is mine. If I don't get it, you're going to jail." Fair share of contributing to society my ass. Last time I checked, they just give it all to Ukraine anyway.
Can i have the switch lite then 😅
I’ll buy it from you
Wobbliest channel on yt
fix your cam man, its wigglin'
Trying to find a solution 😂😂
@@JoeyDoesTech no hate btw
Dude...take the camera stand off the desk...
If I would get a Switch that thing would be out the door the same day don't care for it's condition or any backstory. I would never waste time and resources ever.
It's 2023 so not sure why still some people bother, is it some hipster fad, is it being clueless I will never understand the mentality ... there are thousands upon thousands of handhelds that run games better and are built lightyears better on top of that cost half then these Nintendo nonsense. It's the same reason why most of the markets don't even offer Nintendo and never will.
So instead of supporting trash just get what works and stop being a edgy try-hard folks.
Granted there will be always a broken port or button, but those are minor repairs compared to the bricked ones that are mostly from Microsoft and Nintendo. Even PlayStation really stopped carrying anymore ... All of them are chasing these low effort stream boxes and getting away from consoles, "streaming is the future" yeah tell that to the person who have no internet access due to the location it lives in also not insane to use WiFi or burn the signal in general on streaming anything let alone a game.
People will buy what works and isn't expensive while these corporations seem to chase them selves out of business and relevance all together. That is another mentality I will never understand. Where is the common sense and logic. Sony PlayStation basically revolutionized gaming and made us give a damn about games, now we back to 80s and 90s when corporate games are cringed upon and a wealthy privilege not something many want ... Is this what they wanted, idk but it's happening.
All your face cam bits are really wobbly. Combined with the slow zooms it made it really unpleasant to watch. I had to give up after a few minutes
Same here, maybe he needs to be investing in a better table or tripod for the camera rather than iffy purchases off e-bay 🙂
Joey dont forget about ebay fees... your calculation are so wrong without them.
