    Really nice, Phil. You put in the hours so now you can practically call the fault just based on symptoms. That's near Master tech level, mate.

    @TheCod3r Thanks a lot for the videos on repairing the nintendo switch.
    I would like to ask a question, i hope you can have time to answer. After watching your videos i came to the conclusion that my Switch has a bad M92T36, but the charging port looks ok. Can it be a just a bad M92T36 and the port still be fine ? What are the causes that IC to get faulty ?
    Thank you

  • @novakanedj1
    @novakanedj1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the mug 😜. Good video. Not thought about heating the board up from the underside before will use that in work ✌🏻. Still got a PS4 Slim to repair. Do you know what size BGA balls it uses on the main APU? I suspect the solder joints are damaged from being dropped as at first I got no video in spite of everything checking out ok (Port/HDMI IC etc). Now it won't turn on at all after changing the port. I removed the port again and made no difference.

    • @novakanedj1
      @novakanedj1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      To note the machine did refuse to power up at all without pressure from the heatsink bracket before which backs up the damaged joints theory.

    • @TheCod3r
      @TheCod3r  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cheers bud, it works wonders. The balls will be 0.5mm or 0.55mm depending what stencil you have 😀

      @novakanedj1 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TheCod3r I have a couple of sizes of solder balls will have to check what they are. I will probably have to re-ball it manually as I don't think the stencils I've got for BGA chips will marry up.

      Ouch that won't be fun lol, I've done that a few times. If you have a similar stencil go ahead and line them up and then finish it manually, makes it much quicker if they're close to lined up 😉

    M92 is a blessing and a curse. it's mostly to blame/along with usb c for no powers. but at the same time it limites damaged to the rest of the board, unless you are really unlucky with cpu/bent pins.

    Hi Phil, what kind of solution and at what ratio do you use with the deionized water inside the ultrasonic cleaner? I Bought an ultrasonic cleaner recently but the results haven't been stellar. I've used it with ipa and deoinized water 50-50 for two minutes but it doesn't seem to clean well and it leaves a white residue on the board. Thanks, love your videos!

      Cheers bud! I use Allendale flux remover, I actually sell it on my website cheaper than what Allendale themselves sell it (by the litre). It's designed as a 10 to 1 ratio (10l deionized water to 1l cleaning fluid) and works really well. I usually pre heat my cleaner to 50⁰C and then run the board in it for about 10-15 minutes and then scrub it with a brush while it's still in the cleaner

      So from a safetly point of view its probaly better to use Kapton tape.

    Looked like someones first attempt at using a solder iron and heat gun, just a guess they did the chip first realised they melted bits and went too lightly and hesitently with the solder rod temp just enough to make the solder melt, all in all could have been far worse out of ten for the previous repair attempt I'd be generous and say 6/10 for effort and workwise 5/10 even though the fault weren't fixed they tried and sent it to a propper tech before they did further damage.
