DEAD Switch Lite | Can I FIX It?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มิ.ย. 2023
- This Nintendo Switch Lite stopped charging and now has no power. Obvs it now doesn't turn on.
Will it need a new USB-C port? Or will there be more wrong with it?
Let's try and fix it!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

Stupid 23 Ohm Short.
Nice work Steve btw what flux do you use.
i cant imagine why anyone would skip the songs. theyre always fun. love these videos man!
Makes you wonder why none of the other electronics repair TH-camrs sing in their videos. Filling a niche?
You can drastically reduce the probability of pins not soldering onto the board correctly by using the soldering iron to cover the pins with solder before you hot-air-solder the connector onto the board. This is good practice particularly for the hidden pins under the connector.
The first replacement port seemed fine, and it's possible that the battery was just over-discharged. It looked like the battery had some protection in place and was slowly recovering, kind of like a 'wake-up' process.
Yeah, the switch does weird thing with the battery once it's overdischarged. i'm pretty sure you're right.
@@SaitoGray I’m so o
Love the song, the repair and the incorrect amount of thermal paste!!! Awesome job as usual!!!! 🐺😁
Steve got the best repair vids you get it all with his.
He doesn't apply the correct amount of thermal paste but we all still love him.
Isn't the Tronicsfix guy also called Steve...?
ITYM perfect
@JopieHaargel sorry I was only talking about Stez. Honestly, I'm sure we all watch similar repair youtubers. Out them all Stezstix just has best production value in my mind. Hes got great personality/entertains/Solid solder joints/good comedian and raps for God sakes lol. All while repairing random stuff. I definitely appreciate his videos.
@@JopieHaargel He is but he's also incredibly cringe
LAL steve is cringe asf
Honestly I would love to see you doing more covers over the normal rap that was bloody brilliant mate.
I just wanted to let you know that I love your videos. They're always so entertaining (and also informative-I put them on to keep me company while I work on my own electronics. I just recently got into fixing up old electronics and there's so much to learn, but I learn a lot just watching how you identify and solve problems with the things you work on)
Home made YT channels, that are this good, are few and far between !
I've loved all your content for a long time. Funny how much time has passed. I love the youtube plaque behind you. You deserve it and more. You're videos have become so much better over the years and I won't be surprised if you become one of the top youtube channels someday.
New music goes hard. I admit I used to be a skipper, but not now.
gotta love the references you do of other tech repair channels, keep it up
Yeah - quite a community they have :)
I love watching these right before I work on my own videos. Always puts me in a great mood.
That first shot of usb port removal was trully artistic. Well done Steve!
what a diQlicker HA HA!
That deadpan stare into the camera - incorrect amount of thermal paste, indeed! Loved it!
Hey I really appreciate your videos. You're a huge source of inspiration for me getting into soldering. I got myself a little station and I'm building up my arsenal, putting together kits for my friends. I've built radios, Bluetooth speakers, random projects... My end goal is to be able to repair old consoles and things as a hobby. I'd really like to mod an old ps2 with an SD card slot and hdmi out... I think I might be good enough to do that soon!
Totally awesome. I’m at a loss as to how this channel only has 109k subs.
Good display of problem solving and logical thinking even though we may not be trained electricians we can still use our limited knowledge to our advantage! That partial short is pretty confusing, would be good to see if they're all like that.
I so much would love to fix a nintendo switch, I've never had one, so I'd love to get one broken and then fix it. All the repairs are something I so much love.
RIP Harry Chapin - took from us far too early. Very nice cover Steve - well done!
Dude that song was genius. Love your work and your style. Thanks for great content and ingenuity. From Victoria Australia
you sir, are a master solderer! aside from the fact that now, when i smd solder, i find myself saying "solid" (lowering my voice of course) and "nice", i've learned a lot since watching you from the beginning, and i have improved quite a bit. thanks for all! keep up the great work. ( and i always look forward to the rap, don't let anybody tell you otherwise.)
love the song. I think hot dropping port with anchor points pre-soldered is a mistake though. Kinda hit or miss sometimes, and if not heat soaked long enough with the port in place (getting the port to same temperature as board), can cause cracked solder joints over time. It's more reliable to just solder the anchor points with a soldering iron after you've secured the pins first (pre-tinning the port pins helps a lot too). Regardless of how I personally feel about port dropping, you did an excellent job, absolutely love your video's, keep them coming!
That music section gave me life. Thank you for that. Also thank you for the video. Could you do one on replacement of the left and/or right analog sticks please? I trust YOUR videos more than anyone elses on YT
Once again, a great video :) best part is always when you're like 'this should do it' and I see there is 8 mins left in the video...
I love the new song style. I hope you do it once in a while alongside your normal! Great video
Nice fix Steve you do a fabulous job with all the items you do😊
Not gonna lie, that was the first of Steve's songs I've not jumped ahead on for a long, long time. Loved this vid, excellent work and top-drawer as ever. Thank you.
Holy shit. How do you find the time to maintain a TH-cam channel while simultaneously coming up with lyrics about your Patreons week after week? I can barely muster up the energy to get out of bed every day. Respect!
Best song yet Steve, great work. You make it look so easy.
Please give us more of the high pitched speech muppet guy. I love it so much. Congrats on another great Repair.
Great video. Your subtle frustrations are very relatable in the way I approach my repairs. 😂 Thank you for sharing.
That went from, "Sure, I should be able to help you with that" to "You owe me $80" real quick!
I love when you rip on Tronixfix, makes my day every time!! Great HHG song as well!!
I never skip the patreon song... but todays? Excellent. Loved it. Like, no particular affection to any musical genre, it was just fun to have something new!
I love the dub you made of "A horse with no name"! Awesome!
You've got both kinds of music here: Country and Western! 🤩❤
Such good fun these clips and more innuendos please :)
Thanks for another fun video to watch!!
Have to say that I really love your videos. You have way more courage than I have and I work in designing electronics 😁For future I would invest in getting soldering paste. You cleaned the pads really well for the connector. If you'd then applied some solder paste on them, maybe all pins would have become 'solid'. But great work there!
I though I saw the solder on the left part of the port was so close (not sure if touching) the first pin. Also, what a nice parody of the perfect amount of TP from Tronix Fix jajaja love it
Another interesting fix there Steve 👍
Always love your videos, Steve 👌
Nice repair as always.💯👌🏻✌🏻
I cannot skip the song! EVER! I hope you perform at your pub
Damn I'm really digging this patreon jam.
You should record an album....in regards to the switch, excellent fix. Always enjoy your videos
Well done Steve, nice fix! 🙂
"This is where I wish I knew more things." I love it.
I have never soldered anything in my life. This, is the exact reason I will begin my soldering journey. The exact same problem plagues my switch lite (same color too!). Thanks for the video!
I have to ask, just how did you damage the charging port?
@@talon12020 I have kids. I'm guessing they dropped it while they were charging it because they port only works if I manipulate the USB-C cable in a way for it to make "contact". I'm assuming I've if the solder points on the USB C is not "solid" but, I need more equipment to find out.
Great work Steve! Only thing I'd recommend you do differently is that viscous red thermal paste ontop of the heatpipe shouldn't be replaced with normal thermal paste. I recommend K5 Pro for that.
Man, I love this channel.
Love the vids man keep it up
I wonder if your battery was in sleep/recovery mode. It was completely discharged and if it had been for a while the battery chip turns itself off completely to avoid destroying the battery through self discharge. When this is the case it will start taking a tiny charge (like 0.01A) just to turn on the battery's circuitry and begin trying to charge the battery. If it can recover the charge in an appropriate way it then charges with more and more current until it can charge normally. If it doesn't charge normally it shuts down. That's pretty much what we saw, except that it worked the second or third time you tried.
The smoke reminded me of the basement in that 70's show :D
best song so far, love ya work
The best feel-good(f) channel on the interweb!
Hey Steve, great video, as usual.
Just wanted to ask what flux you are using. I have never seen such clear flux and I want to get this too 😀
best part was the eye contact for the "incorrect amount of thermal paste" lmao!
Hi Steve and everyone, someone has taken your image of TH-cam, and has sent me an e-mail and tried to scam me via Telegram saying I had a giveaway or something like that. Also he/she has given a telegram contact which exactly matches yours. Please be aware!
Absolutely loved every second of that we honestly need a movie titled Steve the Legendary repairer of things.
Could watch you videos for the dismantle song alone :D love them all!!!
awesome song and awesome vid!
Awesome music in this one Steve
Best intro song yet, top marks.
Awesome job Steve!
This Patreon song is so much better then the rap, keep it up! Also love the video :)
That was a "solid" amount of thermal paste you put there. 😜 Great to see another stupid thing brought back to life. Also digging the new musical style at the beginning.
😅 thanks Heidi! 👍
love the Patreon song and a nice fix
Always good to see a successful repair... Time to get gaming 😉👍
I love that call back to tronics fix lol !
You are so dam talented! That song was great. I really think you should write material with Johnny Vegas or something, you could do more than repair electronics, you’re hilarious 😆
Love your vids man, you need to open more holy hand grenade spots on your patreon!
Thank you Steeve !
Love the music change!
Loved your song this week
i always laugh when you do the solid test great video steve
Hilarious, once again. At this point I'm not here for the repair anymore, just the funny banter.
That song was epic!!! "If you're still here, thank you. But if you skipped..." I laughed too much at that! 🤣
"Stümpern für Fortgeschrittene" - could be the name of a course I visit everyday :D
I love watching your video’s, inspired me to have a go fixing electronics, slowly getting there , anyway hi from st helens
I never knew I needed high speed Dremel sounds in my life until now
Good job steve
Why watch this channel if you skip the music? Amazing stuff as always
So glad this is the first time i didnt skip the song. I dont get condemned and i got to witness that beautiful pop country
Nice one Steve !
Cheers Mart! 😍
Brilliant mate👍 so entertaining aswell.
Cat's in the cradle, and the silver pin, little switch blue and steve in the moon
Music was out of this world. Nice.
Too much paste is fine. Too little is the only problem ever. 👍 Great work!
Love the 80th synth music that reminds me of Ember Jensen
GREAT song :D Loved it!
Such a fan of the patreon shoutout songs, where do you get the inspiration from?!
Nice work man.
What temperature you're using for the type c connector?
And you preheat the motherboard or just do it normally?
I love that song what you were singing!
You can never have too much practice with replacing ports :D
Do you think you could provide links to your USB-C tester, microscope stand, and your flat PCB holder please?
Thanks!
Hi, at drop method always tin the pins port also for good bonding = solid
Stümpern für Fortgeschrittene Germans really do have a word for everything. Even for your channel.
Well done for playing The Doors!
Wouldn't the tiny shavings of metal from the dremel disc and USB port go all over that motherboard? Probably should have covered it up? Other than that, great video and great fix as per usual 👍
