Followed this and I was able to repair my son’s Nintendo switch lite! I couldn’t have done it without your guidance through this video. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the video. I am struggling with getting the newly laid solder on the pins to melt without melt the new port. I have tried 400c-480c and always get the same result. The inside plastic will melt slightly and then bow. Any advice?
Are you using leaded solder? I don't spend much time blowing hot air on the port itself. Once the solder melts, you want to drop the it in place and stop heating shortly after it sets level.
Thanks for the in depth tear down, recently got a dead switch lite for $5 that’s in the exact same condition as this one, right down to the color and cracks in the housing haha. Kinda intimidated to attempt this port replacement, but we’ll see I guess
Is 08H21 the correct port for the Lite? I've received these as well but there are also pictures floating around that are comparing the og Switch, Lite and Oled versions and this looks exatly like the og Switch port. I'm confused.
The ones that I use are stamped 08H21. Each Switch- OG, Lite, and OLED have different ports. While they might line up on the board, they might not fit in the housing. Before the Lite ports were available, we had to dremel out some space in the plastic to make them fit.
Hey, thanks for this tutorial! i followed your instructions, but the plastic of my connector melted the moment i put the connector down. It probably was too hot but how do i even know?!
Ok, I did it. Wasted one connector though and the plastic of the new one is cooked aswell but it works.. why is your plastic not melting? Mine immediately threw bubbles
I run mine at 470 with an 8MM nozzle @35LPM but keep in mind that there are many factors involved in deciding what works for you without causing problems/damage.
I'd recommend whichever way works best for you. When doing the anchors first, there has been a couple times that I had to go back and reposition. Doing the pins first, at least in my experience, assures that everything gets lined up the from the start.
Bro why is this so difficult to do why can't it just be reemoved after you take the dam screws out this 😤 is so frustrating you mind as well but a new switch for all this bs

at 8:18 when you test for continuity are you touching the charge port to the multimeter. Im new to using it and diagnosing. thank you great vid.
For the caps around the charging IC, yes. In continuity mode each capacitor should only beep on one side.

Good luck with the repair. I hope you can get it working!

Which hot air station are you using?
what temperature do you use for the hot air iron?

thank you, this is a good tutorial
Glad it was helpful!
It’s the first time I seen someone do the pins before the anchors

Have you ever fixed red light of death on ps3
I have not. Didn't start doing console repairs until the PS4 was prolific.
Bro why is this so difficult to do why can't it just be reemoved after you take the dam screws out this 😤 is so frustrating you mind as well but a new switch for all this bs
They definitely don't make it easy.
@GoCellPhoneRepair i agree I just wanted to fix my switch who knew it be this dam difficult
