Riddle - Jimmy looks at a painting in a museum and says “Brothers and sisters, I have none, but that man’s father is my father’s son.” Who is in the painting?
Uhh.. its Jimmy himself? Idk why Jimmy's pict in on museum though.
Jimmy's son is in the painting.
Him, jimmy.
Jimmys nephew or son

Fantastic stuff vince, and thanks for the mention too. So happy to see you've fixed your first BSOD, definitely looking forward to when you reball one 😀
Just a heads up, the BSOD is actually a communication issue between the CPU and RAM (hence why sometimes it will be the ram at fault). If the pressure test doesn't work it usually has a pulled trace on the bottom right side of the cpu, they're a pain in the jacksy lol.
Keep it up, your repairs get better every day!
Thanks Cod3r, I will look at the 2nd one when the solder balls finally arrive from China. A nice RAM reball would be a good one to start off on, fingers crossed that might be what the 2nd one needs 👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince can't wait for that one. Ram would definitely be the best way to get into reballing becsuse of the size of the chips. It may have taken so long because of the nozzle being left on too, I tend to remove the nozzle for switches because it spreads the heat better 😁
@@TheCod3r I did think the nozzle didn't help. Also my hot air station isn't the best for the bigger chips. Next time if it is the same chip, I will try it without the nozzle to see if I can beat that time!🤣👍👍
@@Mymatevince haha you should do a little lap trial thing see if you can beat the time every time you do it 🤣
I learned a new British word here. Thanks!
Your sons paintings are really good, i paint in my free time and being able to paint like your son takes a lot of time and skill!
Just when one thinks it simply incredible how far you've come in the past few years you pull a classic Vince on that poor speaker.
Never change, mate, never change! 😀👍
😂👍👍👍
What a nice looking switch. That colour is brilliant!
Mr. Rossman answered a question about taking big cips of from macbooks. His answer was you do not need a board heater it is possible to do as good of a work if you pre heat it in the oven to 100 degrees and take the chip out right after, it is probably easyer to reflow a chip that way as well.
Love you content!
Thank you Anders 👍👍👍
Nice fix Vince. One tip I picked up off @NorthridgeFix channel - he often uses a bit of metal shielding or a coin to protect nearby components when heating boards that take a while.
Yes, that is a good idea. Thank you 👍👍👍
I used this video as a guide and was able to successfully reflow my son’s Switch. Thanks!
That speaker connector played games with you. But nice fix. It works not docked, but still a great result.
I'm an artist and so is your son. That being said awesome work on recovering that bent switch mate!!
i liked the real time edits, it shows what you go through and its really interesting
vince just a observation if the bend was in the middle is it possible that the connections on the video ic have lifted as well. try reflowing the video ic and see if it docks then
Thanks Jon, I visually checked it and also checked and tested the filters by it and it all looks good. Maybe a reflow would work though. I could always try a revisit further down the road if it keeps working longer term 👍👍👍
Ooh, what a lovely Switch, never seen one that colour before. Not sure if you've tried it, but i find aluminium tape an excellent alternative to kapton tape, it sticks down really well. (well, that's my experience with it... I'm sure I'll get some replies disagreeing 😁)
Cheers Steve, I haven't tried it but sounds promising as Kapton lifts as soon as it sees flux 😂👍👍
I don't recommend aluminum tape because the adhesive makes a big mess. Aluminum foil works just the same, just takes a bit of shaping to get it to stick where you need it.
Nice partial fix mate, I would recommend getting a pre heater for your rework stuff because the apu is quite big and no matter how good your Heat Gun is it wouldn't be able to Heat the whole thing without the Cooper spreading the heat
39:11 Please tell your son he's doing great, keep at it 👍 🎨
Will do, thanks Garth 👍
A very good tip I got was to increase the chance of a successful re-flow. Just put a bit of flux on one side of a big chip like a cpu or apu and tilt the board up, then heat just the flux until it melds and it will run under the chip just by gravity. Once it comes out on the bottom along the complete length of the chip you know that every solder ball got some flux. This way you use less flux and do not have to clean connectors and stuff. Then you put it back down and heat it up gently. This way your chances are still shit but a little bit better ;D....
Nice one👍👍👍👍👍, I was worried about all the heat, luckly the APU did not popcorn
I was very lucky, I was sure the chip was going to be cooked. It is still working now but for how long I don't know. Cheers AR 👍👍👍
Your son has Bob Ross potential. They are VERY good for his age. 👍
Superb!..and love that song by Solar sun at the end
Amazing video mate! Kudos! Love the dogs. They're gorgeous. Well done!
12yr old those paintings are awsome.
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth👍
so glad to be part of patreon :D
I still question the hot glue on the speaker wire. Couldn’t you have used a guard?
nice Repair So what hot air rework stations are you using I am looking to buy a new one there are tons of models choose from !
Good job Vince
very good job mate.
23:08 A mini hot plate will be proper on removing or reflowing that chip
pretty cool Vince to see the BSOB fixed :)
Just a FYI, get some Kester 951 No Clean Flux for chips like that.
To unbend something that thin you can do it the old fashioned way couple of books on top and leave it for a day or two.
This was exactly what was wrong with my switch and I put in some mounting putty to put pressure on the CPU and I put it back together and it works now!
Does it still work?
Real video title: how to unnecessarily fry a CPU
Hi Vince,
I'm learning a lot from your videos. I have a few switch motherboards that have issues and one of them are BSOD. I might try this. How long did you heat the APU? I know you said you were going to have 400c and 5.5 airflow. I don't think I caught you saying how long you actually applied heat for.
U could try a open dock for it maybe its the bend making it not dock
Good job love you 99
My first video here is the Amazon Alexa with the Echo remote
I'll pay you big $$ for a bottle of that cider Vince.
Hahaha, I was hoping they might have been available in the USA...We could start up an exporting/importing company 😂👍
Bigger nozzle or removing the nozzle would've sped up the reflowing process
You should try Guinness alcohol free. Honestly taste exactly the same as the original. Drinking it now watching this haha
I have never seen it! I love my Guinness though so I will check it out. Thank you 👍
Yes switch again 🥰🥰🥰
the nitento switch is the best console
What I did was press it really fkin hard in a vise and it magically started working again
Yes bro it's switch killer time 😀😀😀😀😀
Cheers Jinxy 😂👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince What you never kill it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but me on the over hand have been had but a few eBay con's with prior repairs attempts on switch's 😭😭😭😭😭 never stated it so now I have expensive Dona boards 😔😔
@@Jinxnator That's a shame. Hopefully the donor boards will go on to fix future attempts👍👍
@@Mymatevince I have a few boards now 😃
Nintendo Switch: Banana Edition
Bro can you tell me what i can do if the cpu isn't still moving since 18 min or more? Is the flux wrong?
That’s impossible, the way that the blue screen of death can be caused by the cpu, but pushing/holding the cpu kinda fixes it, but by reheating the cpu can fix the blue screen of death. I wouldn’t had my switch had the screen of death, I will had to send to you- oh wait, I’m not from uk, I’m from us, I would send it to gamegeeks
Can you buy a real Hot air station, like quick or equivalent, because with the cheap one you are using actually you are literally cooking the big component. What they aren't liking at all. Same for the solder iron integrated, a T12 with cartridge is a lot respectful for the components, when being still inexpensive. Don't think I the only one to tell you to do it ^^
This is me and my daughter's favorite time together. Watching you problem solve and me explaining to her what all the components are (she's 2.5). Long time sub! Keep up the good work.
Nice one Megan, thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍
Your son's an excellent artist. All skills take time, but he's miles ahead of where I was at painting at his age.
I second this. He’s several leagues ahead of me, and I’m two and a half times his age!
Thanks HFR and Operational, he does appear to have a bit of natural ability with it. I just hope he sticks with it 👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince just encourage him. I didn't stick with art as a child because my father was extremely dismissive, and it was discouraging. A few kind words go a long way.
what time?
@@stpworld okay but did we ask
I thought I'd take a moment to give your son some recognition and offer some encouragement. He certainly has "the gift". I was happy to see he has started another dog painting. His approach to painting the fur is remarkable and I believe shows signs of greatness yet to come if he chooses to pursue it. Keep up the great work young man. People with artistic talent have a special and important place in society.
Thank you so much Beavis👍👍
Fantastic! The dogs are wonderful - Your son is a budding artist!!
Thank you Chris 👍👍👍
You definitely need to invest in a pre-heater for the bottom of the board when doing a reflow, dumping that much heat energy into the chip from the top to melt the solder underneath is always very risky
14:17 I'm like "NO VINCE! That's not the plan!" That pre-reflow anxiety always gets ya 🤣
BUT! Then at 23:43 he uses them anyway 😉 Cheers!
😂😂
Compared to some of the other Switches you've fixed over these years, this one is in better condition than most. A very satisfying fix, well done Vince. 👍🏻 Also, your son's art is great, he is very talented.
I've seen people place their bent Switches under stacks of books and even heavy weights to straighten them out.
Thankyou so much I had this problem and I just pushed down really hard on the back of the switch roughly where the CPU is and it works now! (edit) NVM IT CRASHED RANDOMLY AND NOW IT'S BACK TO SQUARE 1
Great job Vince, I think you were right, maybe the larger tip for the hot air gun might have helped, also a scootch higher temp? Thanks for the videos.
Vince mate, get yourse;f some new tweezers or a grindstone lol. Always see you using some real janky tweezers that look proper annoying to use haha.
Also good tip when cleaning is to use hot air at 200c max airflow when brushing with IPA and it melts the flux and sweeps it away. Much easier time honestly.
Not sure what was up with the hot glue part I mean if you use good flux and good solder you should have the wires coming off
I’m a Switch killer.
-My Made Vince
I mean he did so in a few videos. He made like 3 Switch Lite prototypes in early 2019 and he even took a Switch game case and made a Switch that can only be played on dock mode.
Great fix! I mostly just wanted to come here to say that your sons paintings are amazing. The dogs look very realistic. I can't believe he's only 12! it looks like the work of an artist that has been honing their skill for a very long time.
Thank you so much, I will of course pass on your kind words to him 👍👍👍👍
I just want to say thank you not sure if that's what's wrong with mine at the moment but mine is bent also like the one in the video. So I will try that Even if that isn't the issue at least I have an idea now thank you very helpful video
ok , great vid,
but!
Plus i tried the same push down on the chip u did and my started to work,
How Ever I dont have all the computer stuff to fix my Switch like u got so instead i put and cut piece of a extra xbox controller rubber button on the chip area u pressed down at to work than covered it with the aluminum plate and put it together and it started workin!!!!!
does it still work?
@@_H1K i dont think
You know....
Now Switch are getting Very old
All are almost dead.
And its impossible The Nintendo Switch exist in 2024.
And yeah, you will get bsod soon.
I got it Yesterday.
And also my little brothers will get sadly a bsod soon :'(
(He really love his Switch but yeah he have like 3month before his Switch die, i know it because his Switch lagging alot)
Is it absolutely necessary that we go through this list of Patreons in every video.
I don't understand why you didn't put the good board in the other non working one that was straight?
Good to see Ben's art again, Looking fantastic.
Great job on another fixed(ish) switch, you're proving the switch killer name wrong one switch at a time 😃
Cheers Pawn, moved onto The MacBoominator now 😂😂👍
A my mate vince video to end the week! Cheers for the awesome content!!!!
also ive dealt with a few switches that wouldnt dock and they werent bent i believe it was a usb c port issue on a few of them and even had a few docks with usb c issues as well.. so could be worth looking into if your interested
Great video 👍 How many Nintendo switches do you have stocked up?
Thanks Paul👍 Not that many!!! I have given some away and made a Switch Mini, Switch Virtual Boy etc. and broken many whilst attempting to fix them 😂👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince Nintendo should be noting this down
Nice repair Vince looks like a result of bad storage, maybe someone keep it in the back pocket or carried on a backpack and apply a light pressure. I remember seeing something similar with smartphones specially with teenagers.. back pockets and leaving their equipment on it while try to seat. You would see crack displays, bent cases and in some cases some functions of the buttons.
Nice work. I am learning painting also and these pics look really good. With the shades and details.
Mate , why don't u buy a template for reballing the apu/cpu on a switch and use solder paste in stead off reballing it with balls , or you can even do it with the template and the small balls . Have a good one , and keep up the good work! cheers
Your son a very talented artist, they really do look great. Great repair as well vince, I was so happy when it powered on. Great video, really enjoyed this one👍
Thank you Micro 👍👍👍👍
It's always satisfying when a repair goes right! Regarding the APU's solder balls (heh balls) you COULD source a whole new Switch main board with working APU and put it in, but I know you don't want that easy a solution... lol Great stuff as always though! Keep em coming!
When heating up the top of a chip, why not get a heat detection gun (like infra red) which gives out temp while you heating the chip. This way, rather than guessing you at a temp to melt the solder you have more confidence. Just a thought
I had a switch with random BSOD. It ended up being liquid damage around the Max77812
That IC supply's voltage to the APU.
For me applying pressure on boot didn't fix the issue, and for good reason. So if you ever come across a switch with BSOD and it's not bent or drop damage, check those MAX ICs :)
Edit: you should change the Pl3USB anyway and see if you have docking.
The quality of your videos are fantastic. Good job Vince! You deserve a good fix!!
Nice one Chase, thanks for sharing your info, I will keep this in mind when I am working on the 2nd one. Hope you are keeping well 👍👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince I would check the USB connecter and see if it looks damaged and change PI3USB out.
As far as I am aware, the same video output off the Tegra SoC is fed to the screen while not docked and to the C port via the hdmi encoder and related chips when it is docked. I don’t think the SoC is at all to blame for the dock not working.
@@driverdis3488 M92 can also cause BSOD.
hi vince will you be doing anymore ebay junk repairs. electronic games toys etc i find them very interesting but im not sure if they do well for you on the channel
Definitely John, I know they don't do as well views wise but I really enjoy them. They still tend to get 20K views but on the flipside they don't take as long to fix/film and edit 👍👍👍👍
Spoiler!!!!
Hi
You'll have to keep us updated on how long it works for.
Will do, I think it has been nearly 2 weeks and it is still working as of now. It hasn't had any serious playtime yet though! 👍
Vince if you want to take the next step with a proper reball, buy a stencil and 90X90 reball jig. There is a few traces on the outer edge, or perimeter of the APU that frequently tear and you can see the traces visibly to run jumpers
Hey vince i have the same problem with my nintendo but ima kid and i dont really have supplies so maybe if i could send it out to you and fix it for me
It alright if u dont want to do it
Thank you for doing these videos! You've helped me greatly in my electronics repair journey.
I did have a question if you don't mind, what do you use for your camera setup for the really micro soldering? I think I remember you mentioning in a video once but I cannot remember.
Thanks again mate 😊
I've been binge watching you repair videos. In this one I learned a new trick! Melting hot glue chunks with your hot air station! Love it🥳
i love your videos Vince truly i have learned a lot sir. I have saved so many more electronics thanks to the videos you make. Thank you, I cant wait for the next one
Hopefully i dont damage my Nintendo switch from bashing it when it misbehaves (a number of years ago i had a low cost Lenovo laptop, which was plagued with issues from day 1, for a start, it would frequently get blue screens of death, im not 100% sure of the cause, but some of the messages that came up suggested it was an issue with the RAM, or possibly multiple faults, and the RAM was only one of the faults
Another issue that it had was it would lock up and become completely unresponsive, and if i was watching a video when it happened, the internal speakers, AND headphones if i had any connected, would start buzzing, when that happened i had to hold the power button down to shut it off
Yet another issue it had, which wasnt unique to this laptop, but more of a windows 10 issue, is what i like to call “WiFi disease”, which is where it refuses to connect to WiFi networks, or sometimes it will connect but it then cannot access the internet even though there is no issue with the internet connection or router, and the problem only existed when connecting over WiFi
And you may have guessed, but i started bashing that laptop when it misbehaved)
I love watching you Brits fix things ❤️
I"m late but-- right now, every painting is a good painting. Even if it's bad. Every painting is a step on a journey. Every failure is a chance to learn. Every risk a chance to grow. There are no good paintings or bad paintings. Just progress :)
In Germany you only find garbage. The products are way to expensive and if you want to reapir and resell you make maybe 5€....A used switch lite goes for around 90-120€ a broken one is like 50-90€
Maybe you put MS Edge on here. BECAUSE MICROSOFT EDGE IS ON HARDWARE THAT NINTENDONT
I let my switch battery drain bc it was on blue screen of death. And once i fully charged it, it went back to the Home screen. I thought it worked but when i came back home from work, i turned it one and it went back to the blue screen.
I don't think it's the APU making it not dock. That is an awfully specific problem...an APU problem will almost always make it not work at all. I'd suspect the HDMI chip or something.
I love watching you trying to fix Nintendo switch videos!!! Keep up the great work!! Wow those paintings are really good!! Way better than I can do lol!
I concur with others for a 12 yr old your son is fantastic you are way over critical and I feel I am reasonably qualified to comment as I studied art and design through to Uni level albeit it’s been 20+ yrs kinda reminds me of Bob Ross. I hope your son doesn’t see this video and realise you’ve criticised him to your viewers it would be devastating shame on you what did you expect Cezanne, Picasso or Hockney level at 12?!!! 😡
The switch killer has returned! Haha only joking you're well above that in skill now doing really well.
Switches come bent out of the box so the fact that it's slightly bent doesn't necessarily mean that it was abused. Mine is bent and it's never been subjected to any kind of force. I don't hold it with an iron grip when I play on it, I don't rage and I keep it stored in a sturdy pouch. I've even heard of people who got their Switch replaced because it was bent, and the replacement was also bent.
belli bir süre geçtikten sonra yine aynı duruma düşecektir. apu reballing gerekiyor.
This really helped there’s no blue screen of death on my brothers switch, thanks to you too because I came back from a trip to the screen, with a new game for him too lol
Umm so mie has a BSOD, but it still kinda works ? I just need to not shake (or actually touch) it or the screen freezes and I have to do some litte shenanigans to get it to restart and it still works, I'm still young and have only some really basic tools (manual triwing and fourwing screwdrivers) which I have used to repair some Joy-cons (there's only one I can't fix because I can't seem to get that one orange thingy which i don't know the name of back inside for the Zr button), and in ddition to that some of the screws on the Switch are stripped (yeah i'm fucked i know) but is there any way ? I thing I need to weld it back but uhhhhh
34:38 That's one way to hotglue xD
But the gpu reheating apparantly worked.
Wonder if it lasted the test of time ?
38:28 So it's a handheld only switch
Why would you instantly think it's a kids Nintendo switch just from the games installed? Hopefully you never look at what is installed on my Switch (I'm almost 40yrs old) because you would instantly think 'Kids Nintendo Switch' too :P
You pushed 480°C for around 8min, how can this chip and whole motherboard not be cooked. I'm like what does it take to destroy one of them. Impressive.
I still think preheating and larger nozzle would be much safer though.
