    Rectification: At timestamp 44:29 - When you press the power button the signal does not go to the STM32F038 co-processor but it goes directy to the APU.
    Rectification: At timestamp 26:25 - VEX is not responsible for the power supply of the IC's, that is VSYS this comes from the charger IC.

      Hola amigo, disculpen quisiera saber si me pudieran ayudar con una nintendo lite que tiene un problema, el problema es que cuando la consola se apaga por completo el ventilador se queda encendido y cuando se preciona el botón de power y enciende , se apaga el ventilador y funciona correctamente. Espero su respuesta y muchas gracias

    FixMyAPP, at 26:06 you said pin #21 controls the gate of the first MOSFET on the Switch Lite.
    I've tried to replicate that result on some donor boards I have by continuity-test, but my conclusion is that pin #22 gets to the gate of the first MOSFET, not 21. I even went as further as to remove the MOSFET to expose the pad and the result is the same.
    Could you please double-check that?

    • @fixmyappjim
      @fixmyappjim  9 месяцев назад

      Hi i did check again pin 21 goes to a few resistors and eventually goes to the mosfet 1, pin 22 is according to the datasheet a "drv_src" pin it is to indicate the strength or capacity of the IC to provide current to the USB interface. Pin 22 goes to both mosfet 1 and 2. Pin 23 will go to the mosfet 2. Also pin 21 and 23 and 24 according the datasheet will drive the gates of the mosfet's. You can check if you see the thin trace of the mosfet it is most of the times a gate pin. Thank you for your feedback. Gr. Jim

  • @Rodox2k10
    @Rodox2k10 11 месяцев назад

    @26:25 you mentioned the VEX input is used as the main power supply for the backlight IC, among other ICs.
    But isn't the BQ24193 chip responsible for providing 4.2V to the backlight IC, which will then boost that voltage according to the user's brightness settings? I'm confused. Which one feeds the backlight IC, VEX or the BQ chip?

    • @fixmyappjim
      @fixmyappjim  11 месяцев назад +1

      Hi you are correct, when making my last video it was indeed VSYS that is responsible for al the input power supply of most IC's. VEX is only used for M92. Thank you for this feedback. Gr. Jim

    • @Rodox2k10
      @Rodox2k10 11 месяцев назад +1

      Alright@@fixmyappjim so to recap: VBUS becomes VEX to power on & feed M92, which then negotiates the voltage & Amps at which the BQ24193 chip will be using to charge the battery with; Plus it (BQ24193) will also provide 4.2V as the main voltage for the circuit & most ICs. So why does the Switch need the 5V Voltage Regulator chip? I mean, it's generating 5V because the APU is enabling it, but to what end? Who's requesting 5V? Is it one of the PMIC chips? Last but not least, I've got two more questions:
      * About the third MOSFET chip, I'm assuming it's alternating the supply of 5V, but I still don't get from whom to whom; Care to elaborate?
      * When pointing out who's controlling the first 2 MOSFETs, you said this pin goes to the M92; But how can it control the gate without a resistor?
      * Finally, could you demonstrate how one can tell whether those MOSFETs are shorted? I know its easy to just plug it to a source and check if 5V is coming across those MOSFETs, but if it isn''t should I just check for continuity from Gate to Source or Source to Drain?

    • @fixmyappjim
      @fixmyappjim  11 месяцев назад

      @@Rodox2k10 Hi, Your walkthrough is correct. The 5V is needed for the VCONN powerrail to deliver power to the USB cables. Correct the two mosfet are controlled by the M92 IC there are no resistors because it is not needed see the datasheet probably the ic has it own internal resistor. For measuring shorts between the mosfets you can use a multimeter in diode mode. There are a ton of video's on youtube how to measure these mosfet's. Gr. Jim

    Thank you for this amazing video. I have very strange problem on one OLED motherboard. Although all other USB functions are working, HDMI, 5V and 15V charging, data transfer with dock or direct PC connection (MTP), USB-C doesn't power devices on its own. That means when you connect, for example, Pro controller directly to USB-C without dock or external USB HDD/SSD/NVME, that devices doesn't work. It works on every other Switch I tried, but not on this motherboard. To better illustrate problem, if you use any USB-C hub, even if that hub doesn't support HDMI output for Switch, USB device will start to work the moment you add power to that USB hub.
    If you have any advice what I have to check on the board. Pretty much is impossible to find anything on internet, because Google thinks I am looking for solution for delivering power to Switch, but my problem is that Switch doesn't deliver power to accessories on its own... and at least 5 other do that without any problem.

    I have a V1 with a current leak at the ENXX output (3.3v), I have already removed the max 77620, PI3USB (leaky VDD) and Wifi IC and the leak continues and heats up the APU. All I can do is suspect an internal leak in the APU. Do you have any tips for testing before extracting the APU?

    • @fixmyappjim
      @fixmyappjim  Год назад

      Hi i would inject a voltage of 1V with a max of 2 Amp on the powerrail that you suspect. If the APU get's hot then it is game over. Maybe use a thermal camera if you have it maybe a small components is the cause and that heats the APU up. Gr. jim

    It won't charge joycon to full below a certain threshold, i.e (70% charge of switch)
    Or it won't initiate a joycon charge below (50% charge of switch), means your joycon is dead and can only be charged through usb.
