I'm a retired tech and I watch a lot of repair videos. Alex is the best I have ever seen on or of the internet. Thanks for all your hard work.
glad you are finally showing Big Boss assembling he deserves a lot of credit and we rarely see him work cause assembly and disassembly is also an art form.
Thats my switch, so to start off i wasnt trying to fool anyone on the description. i did my best to explain what was wrong from what i knew. i dont have all his fancy tools to diagnose all that other stuff, thats why i sent it to him.
i bought that switch brand new on launch day so its a couple years old. its not custom or a special addition or anything fancy. but has all my info and saved data on it. only thing was the original plastics where allready breaking apart so i ordered a new shell and atempted to change it my self. bent the connector pins and thought that was all since it was working fine before i took it apart other then the shell falling apart. i did take it to a local repair shop and dont know if they caused extra damage or if it was me. but they said it was not fixable. but glad to see alex was able to get it fixed 😁👍🏽
$6000 tho?????
@@Aamer91it wasn’t $6000. 😂
I have purchased many of your items from the shop and I agree with the speedy shipping and quality products Alex. Thanks a bunch for all your hard work and patience to teach. You and Big Boss are gems!
Everytime I see a freshly replaced connector, I ear a voice in my head "solid, solid, solid, solid....".
Am I the only one?
🤣
Same 🤣 , first when i heard that it sounded like sully or Sull'it but i realised it's solid , the accent makes it sometimes challenge to understand
I remember I once had a very badly cracked screen on my phone that I went in to get replaced. Despite it being very hard to read the screen, the tech checked every little last detail of the phone painstakingly making sure everything from the calling, wifi, sound, etc and all general function of the phone was OK before doing the screen replacement. Even checked voltage draw and charging. I didn't really understand why he went through all that trouble for simply a broken screen I asked to be replaced, but after watching some of these videos, I understand fully now.
so you mean there is a short in your new screen which has been replaced ?
Does Big Boss ever lose any screws to the 9th Dimension, or after reassembly have spare screw left over? His counter I can see is very organised, it's amazing how he remembers the order in which components go in, and which screw goes where... You have an amazing team/family Alex. Thank you for sharing your repair knowledge and Big Boss's skills.
Doesn't work like that, it's the 9th dimension that brings screws to Big Boss.
@@Keo Ahh Yes
Stole some Screw from Alex and bring it to me 😂
@@Keohes a big boss at 9th dimension🤣
😂😂😂@@Keo
Your soldering and repair skills are on a whole different level. I really enjoy your videos.
I have to agree, its just wild seeing it done so precisely by a human. And I worked in the industry for decades.
Troubleshooting hardware can really be challenging. I appreciate the methodical way in which you diagnose a problem.
I wonder what the customer said when Alex said 6000 dollars. 😂
He said plus tax or all included ?
@NorthridgeFix I was expecting the customer to say, "I'll just pay for a no fix". Lol nope not happening. Great Video Alex as always. Thanks for the response.
That sounds like a we don't want to work on it price to me.
i wanna know what he said too "curiosity". 🙃
@@NorthridgeFix Seriously though, how much did the repair actually cost, including display and battery?
nice job alex ...
unfortunately in electronics repair this is the nature of what we deal with.
i run into this a lot more than i care to but one simple fix sometimes does turn into multiple things that is generally caused by the customers involvement beforehand.
i spend more time than i care to repairing their mistakes just so i can get to the real problem.
great video , keep em coming 🥰
I have ordered a few times from the store and always happy with the service. Quality products and shipping is always fast! 5* every time!
This is a fantastic channel... Amazing repairs and best commentary ever... "that means we're going to charge the customer 6000 dollars" hahaha 😆🤣👌
Sometimes customers bring their car to my shop for diagnostics and it needs 1000 dollars in repairs before I can even safely test drive it!
Having video evidence of what is wrong stops, people saying you are wrong. Well done on this video Alex
Wow only 6,000 dollars, that's not expensive at all. Great work, love what you do.
Hey. I got to this video when it was 5min upload time and already had 26 likes. After watching there were 115 likes when clicked. Alex ...yr videos are too addictive.....well done. 😊
Haven't watched a video of yours for awhile. The time lapse of Big Boss reassembling the device is a nice addition.
The most true saying is “The customer is NEVER right”. Over twenty years in retail taught me that.
Goodness Alex, this switch had a bunch of problems. Persistence pays off along with experience. You and Big Boss ,the boss of all bosses, what a team!
😂 $6000 for repairs, love it!!! Please send thanks to your dad for sending my order out the same day, I recently purchased the NF Short and 20V Charging Station back in April... excellent packaging and shipping was fast.
LOL. you always get a laugh out of me.. thanks for the good times and lessons at the same time.
Here in the UK, the favourite customer and/or ebay seller phrase is 'probably an easy fix'. If you ever see that or the infamous 'untested' - RUN!
Yep! Or they tell me "I saw a video and it's just a five minute job." (yeah, that 1hr and 5min video they edited down to ten minutes, right?) or they say "I used to fix this stuff but I don't have time anymore, but I know it will be easy for a guy like you." 🤣
There is a translation for "it's probably an easy fix". It means "I've already tried to have it fixed at 3 different shops and now it is completely ruined" or "it has layers shorted and traces melted, eventually with exploded holes in the motherboard".
That's all I can think of when I read "it's probably an easy fix".
or «just for a check-up»
'Yesterday it worked perfectly!'
@@Dandan-tg6tj lol yes exactly.
Your skills are the best I've ever seen, and you have a great sense of humor. I have no criticism of your work, and I'm learning a lot.
Came to this channel for repair knowledge, continue watching for the entertainment value!!! Comedy and pearls of wisdom ❤
Ebay Switch, savaged good parts and replaced with faulty ones. Then customer bought it, send it to you for repair, and discover half of the device is broken. 50$ switch now mutates into a 6000$ one.
And probably still has more parts broken.
Nice job as always, experiences pays off.
A M A Z I N G JOB 🎉 that soldering on the hdmi is just art
He didn't solder an HDMI port. The hell is wrong with your brain? The LCD connector is not the HDMI connector....
"Y'all know that i solder like superman" - what a sympathic way of being self-assured 🤣👍 absolutely love that!
Alex handing out a surprise bill. Surprise the audience. The customer most likely is satisfied with Alex's generous heart.
Better than factory! You are the best technician out there.
Everyone knows Superman has insane soldering skills. So when Alex says he solders like Superman we know exactly the level of skill he is referring to.
That connector art piece should be a famous gallery. Just another masterpiece video...
Lol he gave you trash to fix, but said it was just a flat cable....nice, what a transparent integrity behavior. Well done, better than factory as usual.
My favorite item I've purchased from you is hands down the chargeable grinding pen.
Alex your soldering skills are eclipsed only by your humility regarding your soldering skills 😂
that's what happens when you unplug the screen cable without unplugging the battery, the customer fried 3 components trying to change the screen bezel.
I see the screen issue all the time when a customer attempts to change the entire shell to something "cooler" like the transparent colors. The requirement to gently heat the adhesive and essentially peel the screen off the front frame seems to end in disaster more times than it doesn't. Most of the time a removal pick was slid directly into the ribbon cable and that's that.
did that on a really old DS Lite. Spent hours methodically and carefully replacing the shell, only to have the top screen flash and bottom screen not work at all. I couldn't find any damage and it may just be improperly seated ribbon cables (they looked finicky), but after hours I was tired of messing with it.
The customer is also faulty! 😅😅😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Real talk, I have been using the NF.Short for a few weeks now, and I use it almost every day. This thing really is awesome. As it pertains to your order question, I have made about 8 orders in the last 2 months with NorthridgeFix and the USPS label has always been generated on the same day as my order and really has shipped out most of the time on that same day, if not the very next day.
As a good practice I always take a photo from the area I'm going to work on in case something blows up or goes to the nineth dimension ... it takes you only a second to do but can save you hours of guessing what was where!
I replaced the worn out shells of my Shure headphones with eBay replacements. I used the grinder pen to modify the shells to fit. It was the perfect size for the job.
I have purchased a few items from you guys. Always fast and they arrive in pristine condition.
I've purchased a few items. No complaints on shipping time. I still my first invoice signed by Alex.
I love watching Big Boss reassemble the device at the end of the video. Also I did order amtech flux from north ridge and it did arrive very fast.
"we're gonna charge the customer for 6 thousands" this one got me laugh hard LuL
Alex is down to 7 fingers this week.
I see that a new Nintendo Switch retails for around $300. How often does your repair invoice exceed 75% of replacement cost?
I'm really curious about this too, is it even worth it to repair something like a switch rather than just buying a new one?
thanks for all these videos . I've used them to get better at deductively examining devices and figuring out out the issues. thanks so much!
my man Alex said "you have ten fingers, you burn one you have spare!'' your sense of humour is as good as your repair skills lolololololol
You mentioned about the component and smoke. I was told a long time ago that all electronics runs on smoke, if you let the smoke out they quit working
You made my day with that joke, or I can better say my night.
*Ha, ha! Welp, you won this thread. Cheers!*
Who let that secret out!!!
I definitely chuckled when he said that's why we have ten fingers, so when you burn one, you have a spare.
Good to see Big Boss and what he does.
A good Teacher!!! Straight to the practical point.
I love "The boss of all bosses" theme song.
Sauder like Superman and troubleshoot like the Flash, simply awesome.
Soldering Superman indeed , now I know what S state for on his shirt lol , عاشت ايدك والف رحمه على والديك
The note said: "The ribbon cable CONECTOR" was damaged, just like Big Boss and you said.
The note said: Everything was working before opening up. Sure it was working BEFORE.
But after powering on the nintendo with a damaged connector, the nintendo and screen got damaged.
Sometimes it is possible to misread and judge on that basis, it happens.
Every customer: "It's probably just a loose wire..."
"...and one little more cable I ripped from the motherboard (wi-fi connector actually) ... and if you open it anyway, check those two little insignificant small components I managed to break with the screwdriver and I don't know what they are... and maybe the screen is still working even if I dropped it and it is cracked a little bit..... and maybe the battery needs replacement, I don't know but the battery is just a little bit swollen, no big deal. The whole thing might still be be working after all with no intervention, as far as I'm concerned".
Yes, I know what you mean, I get consoles pretty often from clients saying they only need dusting and the thermal paste changed while the consoles don't show any image whatsoever. I learned my lesson and I am filming everything.
As a system manager I hear this all the time, looks like a simple thing to me, me saying to the person that came to me for help, Why are you here with me with a simple problem in your eyes. If it is simple you can fix it by your self. If not than it is not simple and let the people that have the knowledge to fix it work on it.
@@rafalbuijs5061 In most cases, I think it's largely their hope over my experience. Perhaps this is an easy job, cheap fix, etc. I try to be as kind as possible when I tell them that such a symptom is pretty much never a 'loose wire'. I mean, loose wires are still thing in 2023 - but not on these devices lol.
Damn $700 microscope.
I'll just squint.
Alex...you solder like 'Superman'. !!!
I wonder if Big Boss is an ex Swiss watchmaker. Superb repair and dignostic troubleshooting.
The 180 piece charging port set is useful for many standard tablets just a quick profit. Wish there were more USB c ports tho or even a lightning port option.
Where can I order those comically large cotton swabs that you used in this video? Those are huge! You are quite funny with your subtle gangs.
comically large.....they are magnified by the microscope rofl
LMAO!
I've had My Broom 25 years, its had 6 new heads and 3 handles
@4:29 why hasn't the national art museum not called for this art!
Hey alex like your delicate hands performing fix to delicate component. I just wanna a ask you some question. I watched a lot of your video's didn't commented but this time i want to ask question out of the topic.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your shop is on road.
Your workshop is at back.
How do you manage to get rid of noise coming from road truck, traffic... etc...
What the type of mic you are using people say condenser.
But uni, bi, hyper cardio, super cardio, do you edit noise after your edit?
78% people get confused about polar patterns.
HOLY SHIT BIG BOSS ON THE SCREEN!
I've checked my comic book collection. There's no indication that Superman has any soldering skills whatsoever....
So true, if the customer "was always right"... They'd fix it themselves
alex you are true gem to watch you should have a school or online courses for your fans and subscribers
Shipping is always fast with NorthridgeFix and quality items
If i tell you the amount of playstation 5's i have fixed with the voltage injection tool you offer is unbelievable, best one out there!!
4:55 i wanted to say something but you did it for us :D
Loving the joke at the end... great work!
Good Job. You aren't using your technique of wicking using hot tweezers. It's practical is narrow areas. Keep going
LMao He turned to Dr. Phil after so much solder smoke :))
Another great video. I noticed your using multimeter probes that are bent for easier access. I have looked all over for those including your website and cannot find them anywhere. Any chance of you selling them at some point as they would be so much better for getting in those tough areas.
It's the same one we sell, I manually bent mine. northridgefix.com/product/high-precision-multimeter-probes-extra-sharp/
$6000 is not enough. The $6000 is just for giving you bad information. Then $10.000 for the repair.
I love the humour whilst watching the repairs.
Good job, Alex keep going
They do ship quick
The CUSTOMER is never wrong. Now, that yahoo who brought you guys this busted Nintendo…. well…. that’s another story entirely! 🤣
My old boss would say ' rule#1 = the customer always lies '
Perfect work well done 👍👍
These are the type of customers that inform you they already precisely know what is broken and what to replace where, implying that they only sent it to you due to their time being too precious, otherwise they wouldnt be throwing money away, getting robbed by repair shops.
Great work on the board !
on top of that, ribbon cables don't break easily
I've worked on many laptop and have never broken one, typically it's the header that breaks
Add some flux to your wick makes desoldering a breeze.Not to much ofcourse only the length you think you need.
I've never seen anyone botch a shell replacement this badly in all my years working on stuff.
The Customers wrong? Never! 😏
Upvoted for the big boss
Faulty IC, broken connector, faulty battery, and a faulty screen... If all of that is true, I think it might be prudent to assume that the customer was trying to pull a heist by sending in a bunch of broken parts with the intention of demanding a good console in return.
Its only the ribbon cable " everything was working before opened up" xD
I have seen this issue before with no display showing it being charged or turning on. What it might be is a hacked switch with AUTORCM installed. you will need to let it charge and then run the payload injector and run hekate and it will boot. once it boots you will gain back access to the unit.
nice work, and you repair cellphone?
Selamaleykum
What brand and model measuring instrument do you use to measure short circuit?
Look at their shop. You'll see a picture of it there. Everything they use on the benches, is carried and sold in their shop.
This is how Arnold Schwarzenegger will sound making a repair on RUclips 😂😂😂
In another universe he's a plastic surgeon. And when he's done, 'better than factory!'
Big boss cam 💪
11:36
Anyone else whistle “woot wooo”? Lol
can you share sometime a video of replacing OLED LCD connector please? Thanks
Goodness - amazing work. Be interested to know what you actually charged the customer for a repaired motherboard, a new screen and a new battery. Almost a new Switch really.
Great video! Big Boss like Big Boss of the videogame "Art of Fighting"?? LOL 🙂
