This repair is done with a Honton rework station like the HT-R392.
That's an involved disassembly for a port repair. Nintendo like to make things hard. I've got to do this for my nephews. I got all the gear just didn't know how to take it apart without damaging it, so thank you.
Hi Thank you for your comment, yes correct Nintendo do and good look with the repair
I had to disassemble the whole thing just to put it in a new case.
I dont know much about system designing but all that complicated stuff made it impossibly thin for a gaming console.
Gotta give the some leeway sometimes.
It's not like they purposely made hard to repair, its still doable and not like apple that dont want you repairing any
This backgrond music didn't have to go so hard.
I need this repair on my my switch lite, I didn’t even have it long before the charging port was damaged.
How much does a port replacement cost on average?
£5
About $100
Would a 350C/662F heat gun be too hot? It has two air flow settings, but nothing to change the actual temp.
You could use it to remove the port just be very careful and hold it away not to close to the board look for the solder to liquify then lift the port, however it would be best to manually solder a new port back on with a soldering iron.
What tool are you using
Hi it's a Honton rework station
I'm about to repair my niece's switch lite, this is an awesome video! Do you mind sharing the heating tool you used?
Hi I use a honton rework station for this video you can use a cheaper alternative, a good quality rework station such as a quick can be a used.
could you use a soldering iron to carry out this repair?
understand it could be a stupid question!!
I wouldn't recommend it, you wouldn't be able to heat all the solders pins at the same time. It would be better to get a cheap hot air/heat gun station to do it.
Is there a "normal person" approach to heat up the old charging port to remove? Looked up the Horton HT-392 thinking it was something I could possibly get for a one time use kind of thing (like an idiot) and don't really want to shovel out $700 for the machine ha.
Hi look up Hot Air Stations they range from £50 upwards
Use a heat gun. Much less expensive.
Or just search for hot air rework station, then buy the cheapest one.
Hi, but mostly it is the M92T36 chip when the console stops loading, right? Thanks for video!
Yes this can also cause no power if the port doesn't solve it or if the pins touch it can short the M92T36 chip.
What glue did you use to put the new port on?
Hi that may of been flux you seen it helps the solder to flow and provides a better connection
Great job
thank you
So I was trying to do a repair on mine and the little tiny metal strips where the tip of the port connects. A couple are missing on my board is that a problem or a separate repair? I'm brand new to this stuff and I need some guidance haha
Do you mean the traces have come away copper tracks if so you will need to retrace these to the port.
What was that blop of gray stuff you put in there as you were reassembling?
Hi it's thermal paste
What tools did you use? Specifically the heat thing and the gel.
Hi i use one like the honton hot air HT-392 bga the gel is AMTECH nc 559 Flux

Hello, thank you for you video, I will attempt to repair a switch lite that was neglected. I saw your care in your repair and it inspired me and reminded me of the times where I did this regularly for my own equipment. Is there particular solder, solder iron you advise to get for this kind of work?
Hi thank you for your comment, I use Hotair Rework Station I don't use an iron to solder the pins the heat does this however you can buy the cheap versions on Amazon or eBay I would say tin the new ports pins with solder this will help the connections.
Hi what tools do you use to heat the top and bottom like you show in the video?? You make it look so easy with those tools :) I need to find what they are
Hi jack, thanks for your comment I use a Honton rework station they have set heating profiles which helps keep the temp steady for easy removal and replacement.
Where can I buy honton rework station?

@@deans76 how was your? It’s expensive
@@beyou1225 Hi, Yes they are mine is old now but has worked well saves me lot's of time to.
Not enough imformation. Not helpful.
3:30 So you set your temp to 225C and rested the heat wand directly on the USB port? What was your fan speed set to? Low or high volume air flow? Can you explain a bit more about the infrared heat from below? Is the heat from below necessary?
Hi, I used a rework station with heat profiles, so it regulates a steady temperature at around 225/230 °C. The bottom heat is not necessary with these boards because they are small, but it helps.
@@deans76 can this be done with only a soldering iron?
@@aragon2552Hi, its best to use a heat wand or something like that as a row of pins are hidden so even heat and a gentle pull is the safest option.
how do you keep all the screws so you know how they go back? do you have a screw mat
A screw mat will help
Hi there what do you mean by bottom and top heat? I think you place the hot air gun on top of the charging port to heat it up but is there something under the pcb board?
Hi thank you for your comment I use a rework station for this type of repair with a set heat profile the rework station has 2 nozels one top and one bottom and a bottom infrared heat plate this helps keep the temperature constant and will not go to high or 2 low.
What is the model name of the rework station you use? @@deans76
@@RikoRocket Honton HT-R390 mines around 13 years old and still working well
Hey question
Can usb-c port of switch lite get shorted and be the main problem for shorting?
If the pins are mashed or touching it will show a short
@@deans76 ok thx for info
ima change the usb c port
What kind of flux did you use ?
Amtech Nc-559
At 1:55 you remove the component by what looks like a ripping motion, and in the latter part of the video, you don't show yourself putting it back. How did you put it back? Did you use thermal paste there too or is the connection mechanical?
There are a lot of comments asking about flux and heating tools, but exactly what thermal paste do you buy?
And lastly - If I HAD to do it with either a soldering iron OR a heat gun, which would you recommend of the two?
Thanks in advance, and great video overall!
Hi Thank you for your comment a good thermal paste to use is Arctic Mx4 I think the ripping part you mean is when I'm removing the heatsink this is stuck down to the fan.
You would be best to use a heat gun on low settings to remove the port however I have never used one for this type of repair If you do use a heat gun i would suggest turning the board over and let the port fall out with little pressure just to make sure you don't damage any solder tracks.
@@deans76 If we did use a heat gun to remove it by flipping the board over what method could we use to solder it back with the heat gun?
@@jerrysmarespinosa9596 It can help to put solder on the pins of the new port then Turn the board over rest the port in place and heat from below until the solder melts use flux
hello what tool was used for upper and lower heat ? thank you for vid
Hi Thank you I use around 225/230 c
wow... i hate nintendo so much for this. but thanks for the video!
about how long are you applying heat?
Hi with the machine I use up to 4 mins (honton rework station)
What device did you use to desolder?
Hi i use one like the honton hot air HT-392 bga
Great
What device do you use to heat it to 225?
Hi i use one like the honton hot air HT-392 bga
So I gotta take out all that other stuff to replace the port ?
Hi you do unfortunately
hello at 3,02 How to unlock the cable connector
The little black lever on the back of the port flips up, which unlocks the cable and lets you slide it out.
Pro tip do not use a metal screw driver on the board like this guy just did . Us a spudger.
What heating tool did you use.
Hi it's a Honton rework station
That particular heating tool is $813

Hi there love your videos, i had a question, other than being self taught do u recommend a course one does to get good at these types of gaming console fixes?
Hi Thank you for your comment, You could do an electronics course to help you recognize components or just check out some videos on here there are lots of great guides. other than that just keep at it. The right tools and some dedication and practice will get you there👍
Ugh… never mind… it’ll be easier to just buy a new one!!!
Same

Can you just use a heat gun instead?
You could try however I wouldn't recommend one
How long did u heat
Hi approx. 3/4 mins
So jealous.
Have the hot air gun and everything, just can't get the pins to melt. took the connector off and ruined the board
Hi, sorry to hear that. Send it over to us.
Helllllla thermal paste lol
You never resoldered 🤔🤔
Hi Thanks for the comment resolder is @4:45
I hate when people make repair videos and they don't speak and they just got some dumb music in the background
This video isn’t for the average person to replicate
Thanks for the comment
Not informative
We will try better next time :D
What kind of flux do you use?
Amtech NC-559 watch out for fake flux!
