Alex is the Sherlock Holmes of board repair. Educational and entertaining. Keep up the great work. Cheers!
We will see if he could fix an s21 ultra I send up there
@@ChiefRedEagleis he fix it?
@sarifulhidayah936 no took it to ubreakifix, and they fixed it. It was a faulty camera. I work on phones myself but didn't have the time to work on it. It was weird one camera caused all the cameras to stop working
After many hours watching ur Videos, i repaired 12 Xbox one x, 1 GTX 1080 ti, 2 Nintendo switch and a Lot of Other Broken Devices.
Thank you from Germany for Sharing your experience in your TH-cam Channel!!!!
I Wish u Always luck and a Lot of customer for your Shop!
Thanks!!
you sir are simply amazing. i just ordered my first broken nintedo switch. i hope i can fix it. you make it look so easy. thank you for your time for making these videos.
I love the straight forward simplicity of your content. No frills and just right to the point.
fantastic troubleshooting process. thanks for sharing your valuable experience
Wow great find Alex!! I was convinced it was the MAX chip, but man was I wrong! Great video, awesome technique, thank you for sharing this!
Well done alex, the infra red camera shows it's value again 😀
Layer capactors are a real pain in the bum.
Had few Nintendo switches with the same charging problem. Where it takes 15v and only 0.45 amps. Did not fix it.
Nice fault detection. 👌 Why not change all these liquid damaged caps (corroded leads) or at least resolder them to insure a good connection though, you're there anyway?
What makes you think he didn't off camera?
Thermal Pad increases thermal contact to fill air gaps. Similar to thermal paste.
Yes but hes using it as a heat spreader so it will conduct heat across the pad instead of melting the plastic piece. Like a big squishy heat spreader.
It’s always amazing to see how such a small component can bring down a board. Excellent work!
Isn't the thermal pad's function to actually transfer heat? wouldn't be better to use aluminum tape, that reflects it?
Aluminium transfers heat better than a silicone pad.
Clear step process, clean job & cool man troubleshooting. Keep it up! More power!
Make it look so easy. I take a lot away from your videos, thanks a lot.
Would Big Boss care to make "Take apart" videos?
Amazing repair. Will send in a computer board for you to look at. I have exhausted all the options I have with no luck at all. This is relating to the power button not being responding to pressing.
Without donor boards how would one begin to identify some of these small smd components?
Excellent video once again. Guess it was a 0201 capacitor about 100nf. Unusual for something that small to cause that much heat. I'm making my shopping list for your store. Just need to decide on what I need now eg thermal camera vs new microscope.
Isn‘t that the first time you fix a Switch by changing a cap? I remember you saying that you never fixed a switch by just replacing a cap 😄
Would of liked to see if the pad worked on its own without the added metal.
I like the thermal pads. Much better and simpler to use than Kapton tape. You are brilliant and getting better every day. As they say, most of us wouldn't live long enough to learn what you already know today. Don't give up that day job!
Nice, very nice job. Such a tiny component can cause such big problems. Very good job. Thank you for that video. Greets
Excellent comme d habitude au top du top
Merci pour les vidéos
Thanks very much for sharing your experience, bye Francesco Timpano from Florence Italy
Hey great video! New soldering station on your site, would love to see you demo it if you ever get a chance
You are masterwork :)! Thanks for nice video 😊. I'm very like watch your job. Dude you make my day 🙂.
I think this is what's wrong with my board. All the common capacitors are fine but i found a short where you found that bad capacitor. Thing is tiny though.
If bro turns to the camera smiling, I already know its fixed lol love your videos, keep it up
Oh wow 😱 is that my switch ? 😂 jk. I sent it in i was the one with epilepsy amd had a seizure on my switch
The thermal pad to block heat confuses me a bit since logically thermal pads are meant to conduct heat. I suppose it's creating a larger thermal mass to slow heat transfer to the plastic? Whatever thermal physics are at play it's a working solution regardless. Will try it next time as I have tried to shield plastics in the past with kapton tape and still resulted in some melting damage.
What kind of chair do you use? You must be sitting a lot doing these awesome repairs!
Great video as always. Thank you sir.
السلام عليكم انا عندي سؤال كيف التواصل معك ؟؟؟
How can you tell the positive and negative?
i have worked on same problems with switch buy in my case CPU was damaged
I think it is my switch. Wow. Thnx Alex. Ur recent customer A. Barr. This motherboard is no joke
Those thermal pads remind me of my ex gf T H I C C
"The Short is Gone!" , title of your T-shirt!
Hi from Uruguay... Amazing job!!!! thermal cam priceless tool.
Thermal camera am coming for you...
I'm curious as to why the switch charging circuit will swap from 12v -> 9v for its charging.... Wouldn't a higher voltage be preferred due to the lower required current? Less loss over the cables, less heat etc etc.
What kind of heat fun do you use?
Amazing work, giving moe loads of insight into Swtich Repairs, thantk you!
not saying that it didnt work (anything thick can do the job) but I use those thermal pads as replacements on my GPU's VRAM
Hi I'm from Pakistan I watch your videos for hours and hours, I really want to change my profession and be like you
Hey Alex i wonder if.you found this problem multiple times, did you take notes about the cap size? Might be useful if you dont have donor board lying around.
Is there a reason to still favor the Flir over the UTI260B, beyond the 10x cost investment in the Flir?
Have you tried holding the macro lens fro Uni-T to the front of the FLIR to see if it works? I used an IR lens from a CNC laser cutter for my macro lens.Thanks for the skills that you pass on to us!
Tada! Like your sense of humor! Thx for sharing your knowledge!
When you say that you're checking components in diode mode, are you checking for continuity?
Suggest me best microscope in mimimum cost
Eso estuvo mal, el circuito muy probablemente está húmedo abajo, tenías que bajarlo y revisar
Infra red comes in handy, knowledge backs it up.
Where did you learn how to repair ? Greetings from belgium
i like your multimeter's sensors
sir alex may i know the model of your multimeter you've used?
An other super educational and entertaining victory! Right to repair all the way!
You can also get the 3.0mm thickness thermal pads for even more protection 🙃
Hi. How did you find out that the problem was smaller than this capacitor?
You really awesome keep it up. Thank you for sharing.
Electronics always seem to break on the part that costs so little...
Alex it would be nice to have eye tracker on the microscope screen so we can see where are you looking on the display :)
Those thermal cams sure speed up things. Nice job.
How much do you charge for this type of repair?
Hi. Why did you not suspect the other capacitors that were not connected?
always perfect work love from Gwadar Pakistan
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't thermal pads supposed to improve thermal conductivity and make heat transfer easier?...how is this thermal pad he is using isolating the plastic connector?...am I missing something?
Already answered in the comments.
Guys, I purchased a Switch Lite board from Ebay for dirty cheap, but it doesn't have neither the M92 nor BQ24193 chips. Even worse, the components around them are also gone. Seller said those components were ripped from the board, but it should work once those are soldered back on. (yeah, I bought that)
After googling around and asking away on forums, I still haven't found a Switch Lite schematics detailing those components (mainly resistors & caps), could anyone please help me out? I'd like to start be ling like Alex and work with repairs as I love those videos he puts out and I know I can do that too. Only I managed to start with the hardest job I guess :/ I did find some schematics for both M92 and BQ, but those are for the regular Switch. Meaning the BQ has more caps on regular Switch and same for M92. I could really use your help.
You got yourself a parts donor board. It's not likely that another shop would pull so many parts from a good board. Something else is probably wrong. Your best bet is to make one out of two.
Awesome 👌
thanks for sharing your knowledge greetings
hello tell me the "big boss" is he the manger ? or its your place and you give him respect ? tnx
Alex and his family owns the place. Big boss is his father actually and he is giving him respect becouse of the hard work he does dealing with deliveries. :)
@@kostadinasenoff5334 Big Boss is actually his uncle I believe. His father manages shipping and packages.
Tada! 🤣Excellent job!!
the power thermal scanner good job
Amazing! I thought it was the IC.
Thermal pads are more conductive to heat, make good thermal contact. You are not saving your plastic connector with that. Use something which heat resistant. I use simple 3mm thick pieces of crockery.
The pads just as with aluminum tape have gaps under. They both act as an insulator even though they conduct. Both Aluminum foil and Thermal pads will not be able to transfer heat to components below because of gaps and poor contact. Just like if you have a warped or wavy heatsink sitting on a CPU, the heatsink won't dissipate heat properly because of poor contact. I'll make a video on this when I have time.
@@NorthridgeFix Sure, thank you for replying. Anyway we enjoy your videos and learn a lot ftom you. My sincere apologies if I sounded rude in previous post Regards.
What about the rosin vaporizer in that situation?
Very good
Nice on
Alex again nice repair. Question, for such a small capacitor with little thermal mass pads connected why not use the weller wxmt tweezers?
Because it's very close to the component next to it and so that I can also demonstrate the thermal pads.
Nice repair. Quick question - do you use IPA to clean up after flux/solder? Thank you!
We use 91% or 99% isopropyl.
amazing quick inspection
awesome job bro keep rocking bro 👍👍👍
Good Job Alex. Explanation is to the point.
As always great content of videos
nice Vedio ☮️👍
Why dont you use capton tape to secure plastic part from heat?
I was thinking the same, the thermal paste is too much waste unless it's sensitive high value parts.
Reusable is better option I guess
👍
Boss.., 💋💋🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️❤️
Came in for no power.
you make it look easy! awesome work
wow great job
That tiny cap was missing it's left side, i do not know why you didn't point it out in the video maybe I missed it. No need for thermal camera really as it was visually clear that capacitor was broken. Good video either way, thumbs up!
Nice work again!
Perfection at its best.
good job mate.
Would the replacement cap be necessary for this fix? Or would just a removal of a faulty cap be enough?Sometimes you remove caps from iPad saying they don't need replaced with one from a donor board.
Very good job 👏 👍 👌
pico pal q lee
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
