As soon as I saw you say you were going to put the Switch under water in the case I was like..... Oh gawd that's a horrible idea. I was thinking "Why don't you put something like a piece of paper in where the Switch is supposed to be or a Switch Case (like one of those silicone ones) and see if it gets wet or not. Not put the actual Switch in there
Yeah, another channel called Wulff den also test it out a seemingly waterproof case, but he used a piece of paper instead of a switch and by the end of it the piece of paper was totally soaked
@@nmst3777Stopwatch na, he got like 10 extra minutes of content out of it. plus viewer retention is what pushes videos nowadays. and, we are all arguing about it in the comments lol. he knows what hes doing.
Yea I found the waterproof case myself, their claim is "water resistant" which is not the same thing as waterproof, also your talking about not being able to unplug the battery while literally holding it by the unplugged batter wire
The lining of the case itself maybe water proof but the zipper has tons of holes that allow water to get through if it was supposed to be fully waterproof they would need to add something to cover the zippers obviously the company didn’t think that people would be dunking the case into a pitcher but the idea is very useful if for example your water bottle leaks in your bag
ya he just needed to unplug it and then rice up the console, still going to be messed up but might have helped alot. No idea how this guy even got a large channel with, that display was moronic.
There are waterproof zippers, they are often used on expensive motorcycle gear. These cases are usually listed as "splash resistant" not waterproof, if he would have just spilled water on the case or put it under a tap it probably would have been fine. But he submerged it for some reason.
also, I have 2 pair of joycon and my switch in a Skull & Co gripcase... everytime I need to recharge one pair of joycon its like: get the switch, remove the gripcase, change the joycons, put the gripcase back on, put the switch on the dock...
You can see that the fabric of the case is hydrophobic because water drips off of it. So it's probably splash proof but water will still enter at the zipper area.
Well most people would understand that... Most people. I mean, it only takes a half a second of logical thought to think about the water getting through the zipper if completely submerged. Logical thought wasn't used today.
yeah I don't think even the ykk zippers designed for "waterproof" clothing would even hold back water from submersion. If someone can make a hard plastic case with rubber gasket then it would come close to waterproof
2:55 I believe the general majority of the case is “waterproof” in sense that rain won’t get in if it lands on it or it gets splashed. But the zipper area is definitely not waterproof, it will not make it through SUBMERSION. Aside from that I think it simply looked simplistic and rather stylish
Waterproof does mean you can submerge it. That's why it's practically not legal to advertise a product as waterproof unless it's actually completely waterproof, and most products, even the ones that can fully handle submersion for a long period while turned on (i.e. any iPhone from the last 6-7 years) can only use the term "water-resistant". He said in the video waterproof, so either the product page does not say that or it's completely false advertising (yes! even if it can handle rain that's false advertising!)
23:21 lol I use these while hiking, it's nice to be able to play games for awhile in the tent at night before bed and they help alot in extending battery life in the middle of the woods
The fact that he could have just put a paper towel (or anything else really) inside the "waterproof" case but he decided to put a working Switch in it is just fascinating to me haha
I almost never subscribe to channels and I NEVER EVER, click on the bell. But after watching that, and the sparkling flame coming from the pliers, I did both things XDD
Money makes people stupid someone who doesn't have that type of money to just go but another one wouldn't have even thought about putting a switch in it to test it. But he probably also knows that this video would make plenty enough money to replace it
@@michaels8237 but he didn’t replace it he tried to fix it himself then got it professionally fixed if you had watched it you would know, he’s not the typical tech youtuber
Piercing a battery like that can lead to it exploding or completely catching fire, it’s actually amazing that nothing happened to the compromised battery since I’m assuming he left it laying about until the next day 😬 I don’t really judge someone for not knowing these things but it’s actually incredibly dangerous and he’s lucky nothing worse happened than a little spark and flame!
Lol idk about you but most ppls homes are filled with old cellphones and battery operated things with busted batteries. Esp battery operated candles. Stores like savers are FILLED with them. It's so gross. But like, when's the last time y'all checked the batteries in your wii fit board😅 They're always exploded. It's an easy cleanup but keep in mind there IS proper disposal of these things. That spark likely won't happen unless you inexplicably Pierce the battery yourself intentionally, with something metal, as seen in this video😂😂 You're absolutely correct, just hopefully not many ppl would end up in this scenario lol lol
That guy seems really chill after hearing about water damage switch which really made you wondering how many times someone has asked him to fix a overly damage switch 🤔 What a legend
As someone who does some repairing probably a lot. People drench their electronics more often than you would think. The worst is always sugary beverages that were accidentally spilled, I once had to first scrape dried up sugary crust off before I could even open it, it was an N64 and the crust was bright neon blue.
To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. And may peace and calmness fill your life.
I legit purchased the Pokeball charge stand after watching this. I work overnights and my switch gets me through most shifts but omg plugging it in to charge is a pain cause you can have the base stand on its own while using a type C phone charger. Thanks for letting me know this exists 😅
The case being waterproof is probably just about the material of the case, not the ability to submerge it in water with a powered on Switch without breaking it.
If they are advertising as 100% water proof. It's supposed to be 100% water proof. Since this clearly isn't the case, they can get sued for false advertising.
The issue is that waterproof should mean waterproof. If you call something waterproof and it can be infiltrated by water you're lying and that should be lawsuit worthy.
The switch has a lot of capabilities and creative ideas that nintendo isnt making. They could've made a lot of accessories for the switch but you dont see them making it.
7:22 what makes me laugh is that simply disconnecting the battery from the motherboard has the same effect as physically removing it from the device. Your tech buddy only wanted you to cut the power supply from the board 🤣😂 He even said "I would UNPLUG the battery"
waterproof meaning if a spill gets on it, it wont seep through. dropping any type of zipper case into a pool of water submerged is gonna get water forced in somehow
I think there’s a difference between waterproof and water resistant. I think the latter is the one that allows you to immerse the case in water, but waterproof just protects against splashes I think.
I looked the case up. It has a "waterproof shield" I.e the hard shell is waterproof. The zipper is not. But yeah, waterproof means it can be submerged, water resistant means its splash proof.
I'm not gonna lie - the part where you just documented your experiences with real people fixing the joycon is so refreshing and I loved this part of the video. Please take us shopping or something lol. I know we're like in a pandemic, but if there's an opportunity to do it safely, please take it :)
I was about to get teary-eyed when the guy said they were able to repair the submerged Switch. I'm happy for you and good looking out promoting their store.
The battery pack could be used for people with a Lite, or if you don't dock the joycons on a charger when you're done using it. For example, if you constantly forget to put them on the Switch, then it could help? Still weird though.
I think the joycon double battery pack actually makes a lot of sense😅 Whenever I'm on vacation with my parents there aren't enough places in the wall to put plugs in for recharging so often mobiles get prioritised and everything else doesn't get charged for days
As a computer repair technician I'm a little upset that spawn told you to take out the entire battery. After you simply disconnect the power that was probably good enough to just let it dry and try again in a couple days. Severe miscommunication on his part.
@@scarffoxandfriends9401 what are you talking about when you disconnect the battery cable from the main board the power is not circulating thus there's no chance of shortage which is why he told him to take the battery out in the first place.
@@scarffoxandfriends9401 You have to be extremely specific when it comes to technical instructions. If Spawn wasn't sure he should have just said turn it off and take it to a company. Not saying Spawn was being malicious but he was not being considerate to possible misinterpretations his friend might have made. Language is extremely important especially when it comes to technical language. As a computer science kind of guy that writes technical documents as part of his job this was a big oof. He should have specifically said "Open the switch and remove the battery cable from the motherboard only, then let it dry" or something to that extent.
@@rokku87 I think the major thing here is Spawn job was to fix consoles himself. He never instructed people to do it. So that's why he said "just unplug it" because that's how it thinks of the situation. I don't blame him for being anymore specific because most people don't take the leap of logic that unplug means to take the whole battery out. He probably would have been more specific if Wood told him the reason his switch was soaked was becuase he took an Amazon page showing a case with a little rain on it was the same thing as being able to dunk it underwater.
I follow Wood on Twitch and I remember seeing "I broke my switch" and two days later "I broke another switch" and wondered what in the world has he done now
I still can't believe how many accessories are for the Switch. It seems like there's definitely a lot more for it then even the DS or the Wii! Also, when that Switch went in the water, my heart sank.
I bought that Ipego charging dock about a year and a half ago when I first got my switch. I love it it works great and always does its job and I usually charge all 6 of my controllers at once. Anyone who is looking for a great way to charge all of your joycons at once like if you want to play a party game where you need all of them I would heavily suggest it great quality for the money!
I just love that you actually dunked your beloved Mario Switch just for the sake of it. Probably the most honest love letter to a RUclips community ever. You're a legend man.
seeing you almost start a fire because you were worried the wet battery would start a fire was pretty funny not gonna lie. next time, just drop some isopropyl alcohol around the edges of the battery and let it work itself into the adhesive then you can safely remove the battery without damaging it.
Isn't waterproof and water submersion different? That's why some watches say water-resistant and others state up to x meters of submersion? Anyways hope your switch survives.
my friend told me in the past in the case of phones (he works w phones) water resistant usually means they can handle light splashes, rain, spills, etc but waterproof is supposed to be more legit full water protection (as in submerssible). for example a waterproof camera is a camera you should be able to use underwater (like the old cheapie Kodak waterproof ones).
Water Resistant means random water got on it as in a very small amount. Waterproof has different meanings, take watches for instance they will actually say waterproof up to 10 ft or something like that on them telling you the limits. So waterproof in this instance probably meant if you sprayed it with a hose for a few seconds you would be okay. More water than water resistant, but not total submersion. This is what happens when it's subject to interpretation.
Why not just sell it as a grip then? Seems odd to have the joycons in a grip that will charge it with AA batteries. It would also be cheaper if it was just an attachment vs having a circuit board inside.
The funniest thing about the waterproof case test is that you didn't even need to put a switch in it to test if it worked. You could have just dunked the case in water and then opened it to see if the inside was wet. I suppose that's less dramatic but whatever lol.
I shouldn’t laugh. And my laugh went to “oh crap” when it sparked. Also love the reference to Australia with the chips and sauce lol. Much love from Adelaide Aus.
One thing I learned from that repairs damaged consoles, most of them are repairable, even though they could be 20 years old and the most destructed. The problem is, sometimes its not worth the time or the price.
As practical as the bear face controller was, I might actually consider it beyond weird into terrifying. Just look at it, that stuff is nightmare fuel. There's a certain level of cute, this breaches that, this is unnerving.
I have a hard time feeling bad for you at all for submerging your Switch in a bucket of water and just hoping a product works. I mean... that alone really makes me question your intelligence 😂
Exactly.. if he'd bothered to think it through at ALL this could've been completely avoided. The product page said nothing about safely submerging in water. And if he really wanted to test that he could've just put something disposable in there instead and see if THAT gets wet, there was absolutely zero reason to test it on the actual switch... 🤦♂️ So many fails here lol
The battery pack one kinda makes sense, I go to a bar that has a bunch of switches hooked up to TVs everywhere and I can imagine I’d run down kinda fast so those would be helpful in that instance
Joycon battery packs excellent for travel when your joycons are dead on day 2 on your flight and you're literally debating on falling asleep on the big hairy Greek man next to you.
I’m still in a weird mental deja vu after watching you walk into they retro madness. I usually hit there, the Wild West comics next door and the half priced books all at once 😂
Just an idea Woods! Maybe buy a used switch just to being able to try it out with confidence with all the accessories that might break your switch?! This video is hilarious tho! One of your best!
retro madness doesn't have much in terms of games, but i will definitely keep an eye on them. it's easy to get retro games here in japan, but, obviously, they're in japanese. i've noticed how hard it it to find a used game store like this on the states, so this is a great find especially since they sell online. thank you.
When I heard waterproof, my sense came faster before he could even say waterproof, before my dad even came back with my milk I needed for cereal for 10 years “OH BOY I KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING :)”
...my only question is why did he not just simply cut out a small cardboard box-wall, put it IN the "waterproof" case, and then tested whether the box was wet or not?
I'll be honest, I brought the battery pack, it was mainly for when I went to Japan as the flight was 12 hours. But I never used them and haven't since 😂. They were designed for Arms as they give you a better grip and longer play time, although going by the 20 hours battery life I can't see anyone running low anyway

Same I stopped working on homework to watch this.

My thought, "surely he won't put a switch in there. Surely he will test it with a piece of paper or something. Wait...oh no."
Life pro tip: You don't need to use your expensive console to test if something is waterproof, just use paper or something.
Next waterproof case test, use a paper switch stand in. If it get soaked, you just saved yourself a repair on a $300 console.
Literally use nothing and touch inside thats it lol, I was screaming at the screen when he put the switch in lol
@@ALEXGAYMAR2312 I think it was fake, meaning the switch was already broken. Pretty good with shock value tough...

@@scarffoxandfriends9401 You have to be extremely specific when it comes to technical instructions. If Spawn wasn't sure he should have just said turn it off and take it to a company. Not saying Spawn was being malicious but he was not being considerate to possible misinterpretations his friend might have made. Language is extremely important especially when it comes to technical language. As a computer science kind of guy that writes technical documents as part of his job this was a big oof. He should have specifically said "Open the switch and remove the battery cable from the motherboard only, then let it dry" or something to that extent.
@@rokku87 I think the major thing here is Spawn job was to fix consoles himself. He never instructed people to do it. So that's why he said "just unplug it" because that's how it thinks of the situation. I don't blame him for being anymore specific because most people don't take the leap of logic that unplug means to take the whole battery out. He probably would have been more specific if Wood told him the reason his switch was soaked was becuase he took an Amazon page showing a case with a little rain on it was the same thing as being able to dunk it underwater.
Pro tip, if you really want a water proof switch case then use a air tight plastic bag, that would prob work better
I've actually been to that Retro Madness. It really is an amazing place.
Yeah my dad is one of the managers 😂
I follow Wood on Twitch and I remember seeing "I broke my switch" and two days later "I broke another switch" and wondered what in the world has he done now
12:45 - Where can I find those?
The screw up was turning it on without making sure it was 100% dry. There's a possibility it would've worked fine
The sad thing is that the batery entry could become rusty and so the switch stopped caunging, actually all he did were the worst choices
I still can't believe how many accessories are for the Switch. It seems like there's definitely a lot more for it then even the DS or the Wii!
Also, when that Switch went in the water, my heart sank.
ba dum tss
@@BreaksBee You beat me to it
Next time you’re testing something “waterproof,” dunk it WITHOUT the switch inside. Then open it up and see if any water got in.
The case is probably more like water resistant, meaning water can only go in through the zipper, meaning the case is resilient to rain and spills
“iPega?! i barely know her” had me rolling 🤣🤣😂😂😂
I bought that Ipego charging dock about a year and a half ago when I first got my switch. I love it it works great and always does its job and I usually charge all 6 of my controllers at once. Anyone who is looking for a great way to charge all of your joycons at once like if you want to play a party game where you need all of them I would heavily suggest it great quality for the money!
That bear controller is adorable
I'm thinking on getting it for my kid haha it looks super cute!! And good size for tiny hands
I'm actually convinced the battery connector was broken by the water and that's why the switch wouldn't stay on.
I just love that you actually dunked your beloved Mario Switch just for the sake of it.
Probably the most honest love letter to a RUclips community ever.
You're a legend man.
I’ve watched every video in the series twice and would watch them again can’t wait for more
seeing you almost start a fire because you were worried the wet battery would start a fire was pretty funny not gonna lie. next time, just drop some isopropyl alcohol around the edges of the battery and let it work itself into the adhesive then you can safely remove the battery without damaging it.
Isn't waterproof and water submersion different? That's why some watches say water-resistant and others state up to x meters of submersion? Anyways hope your switch survives.
my friend told me in the past in the case of phones (he works w phones) water resistant usually means they can handle light splashes, rain, spills, etc but waterproof is supposed to be more legit full water protection (as in submerssible). for example a waterproof camera is a camera you should be able to use underwater (like the old cheapie Kodak waterproof ones).
Water Resistant means random water got on it as in a very small amount. Waterproof has different meanings, take watches for instance they will actually say waterproof up to 10 ft or something like that on them telling you the limits. So waterproof in this instance probably meant if you sprayed it with a hose for a few seconds you would be okay. More water than water resistant, but not total submersion. This is what happens when it's subject to interpretation.
To be honest, the battery pack thing may be useful as a grip more than a battery pack if you want to play with them separated in each hand.
Why not just sell it as a grip then? Seems odd to have the joycons in a grip that will charge it with AA batteries. It would also be cheaper if it was just an attachment vs having a circuit board inside.
Yhea, Im surprised Hori hasn't made individual grips with that mold, without the electronic components
The funniest thing about the waterproof case test is that you didn't even need to put a switch in it to test if it worked. You could have just dunked the case in water and then opened it to see if the inside was wet. I suppose that's less dramatic but whatever lol.
I swear at this point they are only making switch accessory so you can make those video. Glorious!
I shouldn’t laugh. And my laugh went to “oh crap” when it sparked. Also love the reference to Australia with the chips and sauce lol. Much love from Adelaide Aus.
Low-key mad he said 'ketchup' though hey
First of all he shouldn’t have turned it on. Then he should of put it in rice
Bob: Practically uses paper. Wood: Risks it all believing in a lie
I love the backup battery packs solely to make the joycons more comfortable and prevent my hands from cramping
Finding controllers dead randomly happens to me to those batter packs would actually be pretty nice, especially if they’re reminiscent of wii motes
One thing I learned from that repairs damaged consoles, most of them are repairable, even though they could be 20 years old and the most destructed. The problem is, sometimes its not worth the time or the price.
It baffles me that you have like a thousand Switches, yet you used your main one.... dude, why? x.x
Why though
As practical as the bear face controller was, I might actually consider it beyond weird into terrifying. Just look at it, that stuff is nightmare fuel. There's a certain level of cute, this breaches that, this is unnerving.
Can we just appreciate the guts wood had to dunk his switch in water
I love when you go out and do stuff. The interaction with the tech guy was great
I love how he was just like, "oh cool you fixed it! Now fix this one"
The guy was probably like " what did you do now"
"There's definitely water in here"
Me: Yup that's water alright
Imagine my surprise, when he ACTUALLY friggin put his switch in. Oi.
Those Joy-Con battery packs look like they give a good extra grip on the controllers. I would like to have them, just for that reason.
Bro really said it's not rocket surgery or rocket science but bro can't even remove a battery from a switch 😂
I have a hard time feeling bad for you at all for submerging your Switch in a bucket of water and just hoping a product works. I mean... that alone really makes me question your intelligence 😂
Exactly.. if he'd bothered to think it through at ALL this could've been completely avoided. The product page said nothing about safely submerging in water. And if he really wanted to test that he could've just put something disposable in there instead and see if THAT gets wet, there was absolutely zero reason to test it on the actual switch... 🤦♂️ So many fails here lol
Who knew the best review ever involved 2 broken switches. I was so invested in that story. 😂
19:46 I have one like this but it’s a dog, it’s pretty practical because of its size everything is so close together 😂
The battery pack one kinda makes sense, I go to a bar that has a bunch of switches hooked up to TVs everywhere and I can imagine I’d run down kinda fast so those would be helpful in that instance
they’re going to be my official emergency contact for my switch. They seem amazing, I’m so glad they fixed the switch !!
‘It’s not rocket surgery or brain science’ that but got me rolling on the floor 😂
The Switch is finally fix. I'm so happy for you.
Glad the switch water situation had a happy ending. :P
ah yes, rocket surgery and brain science. the art of performing surgeries on rockets, and studying your brain.
BTW, the waterproof case meant that it was waterproof for the rain, because if you fully submerge I'm in water then it can go through the zipper
“So simple yet so clean” *fades into Sora*
the prophecy
" but I stilstill gatta use my imagination for the left hand?" XD TRULY A GREAT QUOTE
2:42 "water proof" man, it's probably just hydrophobic on the outside, i've never seen waterproof zippers
I just love how unexpected everything is going. Better than any Netflix series.
Joycon battery packs excellent for travel when your joycons are dead on day 2 on your flight and you're literally debating on falling asleep on the big hairy Greek man next to you.
I’m still in a weird mental deja vu after watching you walk into they retro madness. I usually hit there, the Wild West comics next door and the half priced books all at once 😂
I'm so glad the red switch story had a happy ending and it all got fixed
You could have had the zipper facing up when you did the waterproof test. That would have reduced the chances of water getting in the case.
Wood can you do a Amiibo collection tour, I think it would be cool to see all of yours. Also I know you have the Metroid and Samus two pack.
Just an idea Woods! Maybe buy a used switch just to being able to try it out with confidence with all the accessories that might break your switch?!
This video is hilarious tho! One of your best!
“I peg ‘er”…I barely know ‘er 😂😂😂 the best one-liner omg
retro madness doesn't have much in terms of games, but i will definitely keep an eye on them. it's easy to get retro games here in japan, but, obviously, they're in japanese. i've noticed how hard it it to find a used game store like this on the states, so this is a great find especially since they sell online. thank you.
for the “waterproof” case you could have put a piece of cardboard in instead of a switch 😅
When I heard waterproof, my sense came faster before he could even say waterproof, before my dad even came back with my milk I needed for cereal for 10 years
“OH BOY I KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING :)”
Bruh, I was screaming. "Use paper towel to test if it's waterproof!!! Use paper towel!!!"
...my only question is why did he not just simply cut out a small cardboard box-wall, put it IN the "waterproof" case, and then tested whether the box was wet or not?
Shock points on the video and enough money to own more then one switch. 😩
I'll be honest, I brought the battery pack, it was mainly for when I went to Japan as the flight was 12 hours. But I never used them and haven't since 😂. They were designed for Arms as they give you a better grip and longer play time, although going by the 20 hours battery life I can't see anyone running low anyway
