a little bit of advice for you. Always allow the chip and surrounding components to fully cool down before applying isopropyl alcohol. These components can suffer from thermal shock and crack, especially ceramic capacitors. Think of a plate that's been in a hot oven and then you put it in the sink with cold water, what will happen? the plate will crack, it's the same with ceramic capacitors. Once they crack they will allow moisture inside the capacitor which will eventually go short-circuit.

Joey, I don't quite get what you mean with "too much voltage" from a 3rd party charger. The Switch, like any other USB-C device, defines the voltages it needs by itself, with the CC pins. You cannot overvoltage a USB-C device unless the charger you plug into it is actually faulty but that can happen to Nintendo chargers as well.
That's not entirely true. The device will communicate the voltage it would like to see, but no charger will supply that voltage perfectly. The nature of switchmode powersupplies is that they regulate the output voltage by switch themself on and off very quickly and output filtering will try to make it smooth. More expensive chargers have better output filtering, cheaper ones will have larger spikes and those can also go above the desired voltage. Especially if cheap capacitors age, filtering can get much worse, eventually damaging sensitive devices.
Hey joey, i reckon that those m92 chips you got may be fakes. Can not remember where i saw the video, but a youtuber made a video demostrating soldering that same chip you used and it did not work for him. Maybe you got a good batch but watch out maybe some are faulty ;). You can tell the chip is fake by looking at the “m92t36” letters that are more to the center in comparison with a genuine chip.
nice fix Joey
When you use the iron around the M92, what tip are you using?
Nice one. This really showed your experience you have with the original switch by now.

thanks for the advice bro
Been doing it for years without issues so not necessary
You’d think there would be over voltage protection before the main ICs. Great shot in the dark swap out Joey.
Good to see the £5 chip protects the 5p fuse on the oled too😂
😂😂😂
@@JoeyDoesTech true eh
Same problem as in all apple products, if you use cheep Chinese charger that has spiked voltage it blow the charging chip
So what happens if my multimeter beeps with the caps surrounding the chip?
Could you link your microscope / microscope arm?

Thanks. Which kind of soldering iron are you using?
OKI METCAL MX-500
Los caps no marcaban en corto, pero aun asi el IC estaba malo) 😮
what temps and airflow are you using?
450-500
Great Repair! Which capacitor goes to the CPU(APU?)? Thank You for the video! 😁
Solid.
Nice blind swap Joey

woo hoo, first here...(keep up the good work) :)
buy new gloves man
perish the thought!
