    In case anyone was wondering, according to his Instagram all of the switches have been sold, and the total profit he made was roughly $290.

      eBay will almost always side with the buyer, send it back. If they don't allow returns, file a claim and they'll get screwed. They lied to you, you're within your right to do so.

    Please be sure the fixed switches conect with the dock to the tv screen! This is a big issue with liquid damaged switches! The main problem with this is the big squere chip on the back side of the pcb.

    TH-cam Is really recommending these videos, and you deserve it. This is some very interesting content, like a Louis Rossman, but shorter and prettier looking at the sacrifice of not being as in depth. I think it's a great format for entertainment.
    I notice you never replaced the thermal paste on the chip on camera. The montra in PC building is to always replace it when you take it apart. If you don't notice any higher temps in your units, then that shouldn't be a problem.

    Anyone who doesn’t want to see these videos, obviously they aren’t for you. I fix electronics on the side and I’m trying to make it my main income. These videos are very informative, even if you aren’t working with a switch you can pick up some skills and knowledge off this guy. These videos are allowing me to offer many more services to my list. I’ve watched countless videos on iPhones and I think I’ve generated more knowledge about a switch off the very first video in this series than I learned off 10 videos about iPhones( that was years ago but still, I’ve never held a switch once, but I’m confident I could repair one ).

    • @Tronicsfix
      @Tronicsfix  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It doesn't actually mean that the chip is necessarily faulty...it means something in that circuit is shorting to ground. It may be the chip but it could also be something else. Based on experience and guessing I can usually tell which chip is faulty by checking to see which capacitors are shorted.
