Of anyone's repair videos, I enjoy yours about the most. No ego, down to earth, not afraid to admit failure. Probably one of the most real youtubers there are. Keep it up, sir.
You are a wonderful teacher, your work is very good, and I personally learned a lot from you I am now a technician in the maintenance of smart phones, and I will not deny that I learn a lot from you, professor. I wish you good and happiness 🙏
You fell like a boss when you did fix the device, i love it! 👍 Great job Mister Have a nice day with your family and friends God bless you 🙏🙏 Greetings from france
just did the same excat repair. I just replaced the IC but not the filter, the Nintendo works like magic. I could not find a donor board to use the filter from, but client was informed and he was happy to know it worked anyways.
I was watching a video from Louis Rossman yesterday and the difference is style and quality of soldering techniques between him and this channel was amazing. Rossman was removing a surface mount capacitor from a Mac board and it was like he simply didn't know about heated tweezers! It was like he was using an iron tip that was three times the size of the cap he was trying to remove. Very messy. I've not done micro soldering myself except to learn I am no good at it. I'm also a radio ham and am trained in and can use a regular soldering iron with great results. Man! These two are like night and day. NorthridgeFix is MUCH better, so much tidier and cleaner... Good job dude.
This was great! You really know your stuff! Have been looking online trying ti figure out whats wrong with my sons switch (screen displaylight on but nothing works) think im just going to send it in to you because I'll ruin it more trying to fix it
It is fine and entertaining to leave some of your videos untouched. You should stream like 1 hour of your working day, the best works of day you think are interesting. Keep up the good work . I fully understand that smile you get in the end of work. Is like passing a test after a hard studying. Good Job.
I have learned A lot from your skills sir. Thank you .You speak so simple and understandable that makes me want to learn more and more .You are a perfectionist and also a professional. Thank you for sharing . Greetings from Greece.
blown filer is usually caused by usb-c port problem, always verify this first as some signals go directly from port to these chokes.Also after PI3USB replacement it is better to verify if the console also works in dock mode as this is what this chip is mainly for. It works in handheld mode even without PI3USB installed. May two cents based on my repairs
Any advice on what to try if one switch will work in dock mode, but another does not? Both will show the green light on the dock and charge, but only one displays to the screen. I have the switch's tv settings the same on both. I have tried multiple docks, multiple tv settings (720p 480p etc), but still no luck.

Alex, there are 2 possible boards in the switch depending on where it was made one has 4 larger filters by P13USB, the other has 5 smaller filters. I’ve run into this before and used 2 201 filters as well! I believe it’s the US board that has 4 and the Japanese one has 5, but I don’t remember.
Goes in 10th dimension 😂 Love your channel ! I’m just getting into the hobby of electronic repair, i have a pretty good setup/tools. My first project is a Nintendo switch lite with black screen, you can hear the audio from it when you turn it on but just can’t see the screen, wondering if something like you are fixing here is the issue. I noticed the connector where the ribbon cable goes into from battery is missing the little snap in portion, do you sell those? I’ll be ordering parts from you
He has in the past, I was wondering if he would. Thing is, it's not necessary for the repair. It would be an added bonus, but as long as the component makes a good connection it should be ok. If he'd run a jumper you know there would have been some mask.
I just saw this video,and I hope that I am getting the right filters that I just ordered from your shop.I looked up AV filters for switch and then ordered 10,I guess I will see in few days,LOL
Hi my friend. real magic is not on amtech flux or low melt solder wire but real magic is is your fingers and hands! Thanks for your good training and hi quality videos
For us newbees: maybe explain how we can tell which are resistors, caps, fuses, filters etc. I'm use to traditional larger through hole with color bands or numbers printed. Also, I thought Caps are polarized? Positive negative sides. The tiny SMD caps seem to not be polarized? Ehy? Thanks.
How do you get rid of the bridges so easy, is it the soldering iron? I have the same flux and leaded solder, only thing i don't have is a great soldering iron. It's not bad but i believe it to not be great. I can't put so much solder on my iron without getting massive bridges no matter how hot I go it seems.
Lead solder, it will lower the temperatures needed for solder to flow when he places the new part. Lead-free solder needs a higher temperature to melt so would place higher thermal stress on the new/replacement parts when they are being placed on the board.
Granted you know it's a filter.. How would I know that that item is a filter an what its value is? Looking at a video card I have there are small chips that look like capasitors but are a gray color. How do I know what this item is and its value? I hope you can explain this. Thanks for the videos.
Is it possible to fix a broken camera flex cable, that is half tore at a curve? Sometimes when you don't have available replacement parts, is it possible to micro solder the broken ends by scraping off the plastic insulation?
Hello, thank you for the video. I need your advice: I have a Switch I'm trying to repair and the left joycon won't synchronize. I tried almost everything and I think the problem is on the motherboard. Can you give me any advice? Thank you in advance and take care!
btw back in june you had the same chip and filter die. you also said the same exact thing about the different sized filters. Its probably the same donor board from that video too. lol
It's probably the v2 switch. They released a second model switch, better battery life and slightly different components. Biggest reason was to prevent hacking though.
I accidently removed a pad that conect with the otherside of the PCB on nintendo switch lite. That pad is from nand. There is a way to remake that? I tried to install Rp2040 on it.
Also depends on your hot air station and it’s quality to supply the heat it says it is supplying on the readouts. Might say 400C on the readout but might be more like 340C at the nozzle. This is most likely to be true on cheap Chinese hot air stations and uncalibrated hot air stations.
@@jonathanolivares666 you should be fine assuming it’s not old and worn out. If you have a method of testing for temperatures that high, see what you get in comparison to the readout.

And I thought time travel was difficult. You need a tiny part and tweezers, and your ready to go to 10th dimension. Best line ever!!

The filters are different on different models of the board depending on the revision
Really enjoying your videos! Discovered your channel recently as a recommendation from Retro Game Revival! Great work!

10th dimension. Almost fell off my chair laughing.
Litterally choked while hearing that...
Nice job, nice improvised with the two filters. I had to laugh when you said „it goes to the 10th dimension“😂 greets from vienna
I wish he would include how much the cost of these repairs is, it would be very helpful to know these things.
Call and get a quote. Simple.
Magnifico, eres un crack. Enhorabuena por tu canal y por compartir tus reparaciones. Saludos.

laughed so hard at the 10th dimension joke because that's what happened to me today, dropped a micro filter
I like that idea changing the filter
Hi, I love the way you work, one question, at what temperature do you set the soldering iron and the air gun?
great job
Great improvvisation skill !!!! Master !!!
Great Job as always 😍 I just have a little question. Why don’t you mask the traces so they become more tighten and isolated 🤔
Im wondering this as well
He has in the past, I was wondering if he would.
Thing is, it's not necessary for the repair. It would be an added bonus, but as long as the component makes a good connection it should be ok.

You can mail in devices
Amazing work really 👌 thanks for the details about everything you do⚘ this is so useful
Great job dear,I'd to be there and spectate the finest and precision in your work ...
Hello north ridge fix,
Thanks for your video.
Can you tell me what kind of solder you're using before you solder a new chip?
Thanks you
Lead solder, it will lower the temperatures needed for solder to flow when he places the new part. Lead-free solder needs a higher temperature to melt so would place higher thermal stress on the new/replacement parts when they are being placed on the board.
We need a Shop Tour!!
Resplendent as usual
What's the temp & airflow you are using my friend. And the nozzle size ?
Hi, amazing video, could you tell me how you tell the difference between a resistor and capacitor as they look the same?
Resistors are always black but caps are always brown ish
Professional repair equipment too

You are awesome guy! Thanks for all you do!
Could you please tell how you remove glare from microscope
Great job!
How do get rid of the glare? Is it by adjusting the your microscope settings?
Yes by adjusting the ring LED brightness, i think
He switches off the ring light and switches on a side light - I think it was explained in a previous video.
His lighting.
Excellent work sir 👌
Great job and video like always
Learnt something on that capacitor
Did you already have solder paste on the chip pins? Or was the clear liquid the solder paste?

hello brother what's the name of this component you've changed ??? i am italian and i don't understand english spoken
Hello i have a nintendo switch he works but i have a Black screen on the switch LCD on the TV works great. What you think is the problem?
Great job
Good luck om
Great work man ❤️
amazing work
4 thumbs up for you man....👍👍👍👍
Love from India ❤️
How are you so good ! Hope your well cuz xx
Hello, where did you buy your Microscope?
What's exactly a short?
How to use meter in diode mode?
How to check whether it's ground or not?
Pls teach me Senpai!
Nice job
well done
btw back in june you had the same chip and filter die. you also said the same exact thing about the different sized filters. Its probably the same donor board from that video too. lol
Thank you Sir
Good work thanku
Is the size difference between Original und Mariko Revision ? Oder just random?
What is a filter? What does it do? What is the difference between the sizes?
Great job idol
It's probably the v2 switch. They released a second model switch, better battery life and slightly different components. Biggest reason was to prevent hacking though.
Skillful
When the pad was peeled off and repaired, the newly made copper pad stuck together, so I fixed one side with a toothpick and soldered it.
Amazing !
Super video
In all the videos I watch about fixing Nintendo switches the fuse is never blown what would cause the fuse to blow please let me know curious
I accidently removed a pad that conect with the otherside of the PCB on nintendo switch lite. That pad is from nand. There is a way to remake that? I tried to install Rp2040 on it.
Suuuuuuuuuuuper sir 🙏
Oh wrong filter😅,,next what the hack again wrong 🥰. This is magic 🎉,,This is real live💪
i love it!
10th dimension 😂😂😂
And microchips fly to quantum realm when they snap😂
We need some Samsung note repair videos 🤔
If not I’ll have to take one to you to repair it 👍🏼
did you ship outside USA
Buen trabajo
dear bro whats tha max temp of hot air gun to remove chip ,,my chips burnt but not separate from pcb
which programm you use to know the schemic of the switch
10th dimension, there are many iPhone screws and 0201 capacitors that one can find there :-)
How did u get rid of the glare?
Hi , I have a nintendo switch with dark screen but you can see a image of a nintendo switch with two joy cons moving up and down maybe you can help
Fast blinking light when put on dock. not charging, no power. what seems to be the problem?
I have seen same video a long time back is that different or same one
Different
Where is the shelf in your righ?
When you say filter you mean capacitor right ? New to working on electronics and when I here filter I think capacitor
Im pretty sure its an inductor
Hi sir, how much heat and airflow do you use in the heat gun? Thanks
For me, 390°c~425°c heat, 20~60 Airflow depending on the chip size, the bigger the chip the higher the airflow.
Also depends on your hot air station and it’s quality to supply the heat it says it is supplying on the readouts. Might say 400C on the readout but might be more like 340C at the nozzle.
This is most likely to be true on cheap Chinese hot air stations and uncalibrated hot air stations.
@@Infiniti25 its a Quick 2008 hot air station
