Viewers Sent Me 5 Broken Switches and Challenged Me to Fix Them!

Nice job Steve! My roommates switch which was my old v2 one I gave since I had a oled one and his has the same problem it’s not bricked but dosent charge

I've always been scared to solder but you make it look so easy that I want to try on some already broke electronics.

I have a Xbox one controller that you might get a kick out of. the battery contacts is bent battery pack that powers it broken and the left trigger is having a problem and it’s a sob to get to charge in the first place lol love your stuff ! I hope your videos get the views, likes and subscribes they deserve.

$700 for a Switch?! That's a huge scam. I hate those rental places. Always makes more sense to just save up what you can over time and buy it for MSRP once you can afford it. You have to wait, sure, but I'd rather wait than pay more than double the MSRP for something.

The key to rent to own stores. Is to pay it off as quickly as possible. If you buy something like a Nintendo switch from a rent to own store. Try to pay it off in like 3 months. You're going to pay an extra 50 bucks on top of what the switch cost but you didn't have to come up with that money all in one chunk

for the modded OLED the shield was cut to run wires from the chips

I feel bad for that rent to own guy. Great video as always!

Hi Tronicsfix I spilled some juice on my switch a long time ago…I was wondering if you could fix it for free 😁

Always satisfying fixing the un-fixable, at least that what they want t you to think

Love your videos!! I have a pair of Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen2. They only work plugged in. I cant figure out why it will not run off they battery. Would love to send them to you to see if you can fix it. You can make a video about it if you would like.

My boys have nintendo switch that doesnt power on or charge up. 🤷‍♂

The second switch looked like a lost cause 👍🏻

Hey man, when you were working on the "modded" switch, I'm very well aware of what the mod is and how it works. The person who attempted to mod this is clearly new to soldering. No flux used(or they used the terrible paste flux), too much heat on the capacitors on the SoC, and they scraped wayy too much solder mask around the via (not the larger rectangular ground pad next to it) to the top right of the cpu (where the shielding was cut). Very surprised they didn't Bridge that via to the ground plane next to it. That is a cpu clock point used by a modchip for timing when to inject a payload.

Sometimes a reflow might fix a blod switch, this consoles flex and sometimes a solder ball can became disconected from behind the apu.

fixing these devices seems a lot more mentally stimulating than the games they actually play...

I know it's a choice but I always feel bad for folks that utilize the 'Rent to Own' places. It's like they were set up with the purpose of being predatory towards folks with financial challenges.

Oh SNAP! Solder burns on failed modders. Tronics bring the heat on these fools.

I have question how can I sent you something to get fix Because I really need my phone to be fixed please ?

Imagine being the guy that sold a whole switch for an sd card that just wiggled loose..

I don’t understand why when you could see that one chip was not on correctly. You still left it. And had to go back and change it. 🤦‍♂️

Could you maybe include a short explanation about the looking for shorts? Because I have no clue what’s going on but it looks interesting

I opened my ps4 to clean to update the thermal paste and now it won't turn on.... i put everything together slowly :( what could possibly be the issue?

You did a great job with that oled!

Why don't you use thermal camera ?

Thanks tronic Bro of Sonic😅😅 For makings vdo Long n details love ❤️ From India 🇮🇳

Even caps goes bad

So why do companies still use y wing or torx or security screws when the bits are easy to get?

Hello!

Wild to see the OLED switch before and after your clean up! Great work!

700$ for a broken switch?

wow i really din't had high hopes for that first oled switch in this vid and however he got it fixed anyway feeling the pure satisfaction with You TronicsFix :D really enjoyed that moment in the vid :)

Send the bad one to the coder and challenge him to fix them

Not bad at all! Glad to hear that you got some of the Switch's fixed! And hopefully you can use some of the parts from other ones if you ever need to repair more Switch's.

its hwfly or sx core they were trying too mod?

they were trying to install a modchip in that OLED switch. it involves cutting the metal around the chip.

the editing is so satisfiying!

Imagine watching the video and realising the one you sent him just needed the card reader to be plugged in 😂

Watching you do this makes me feel like I can do this but reality snaps me back to knowing I am no where near doing that kind of repair. Can’t even find the reason for the pop shut down for the 3DS I am fixing even when the speakers were replaced and no damage on the ribbon cable 💀. So much to learn to catch up. So far I did the simple Ds lite fixes. Saved 13/16 with 3 motherboards being dead with no way to get them to work. Inspired by you.

casts Recall upon completion of the Switch repairs to return them to myself
Fool, you fell for it so easily and now I've duped you into performing free repairs at no labor cost. Oh wait they're broken again.

Wait he paid 700 dollars for a broken switch that feels awful

Skills and energy are top notch, love the videos.
