Incredibly hot take but broken consoles and parts should be incredibly cheap to buy. But I mean completely broken, like not turning on at all. I think it's wild that you have to pay 100 bucks for a broken device that might not even work even after a long tiring repair.
@@chrisbagnell Yup! I have seen few broken GPUs with absolutely destroyed HDMI ports and some with typical "It stopped working so I threw it in oven" and all the plastic parts have melted..
You've probably seen it all by now, but the state of some of these never cease to amaze me. What do people even DO with these things to get them like that? I had an OG Game Boy way back when and I took such good care of it, because I knew it was expensive and it was also just special to me. The expendability attitude that some of these devices seem to come from nowadays sickens me.
Every time I watch one of your videos I'm shocked how poorly people take care of their consoles. Like how to do bend the rails so badly where the joycons go?!
You should pick up a screen preheater/hotplate thing for when you go screen repairs. Makes a world of difference when you can gently warm up the adhesive.
The reassembly at 5:56 was so satisfying 🤤 That being said, I might recommend cutting a little earlier (but keeping the sound) so that it looks and sounds like the piece is assembled the moment it touches down. Great vids, love to see the editing keep improving!
I typically see other restoration channels do the instantaneous reassembly thing, so the way Steve pauses a moment to give us a tour of each part is familiar and uniquely him, IMO.
With the switch lites, a lot of them were reported with an issue of the sound, the one I have atleast has that issue, it still works and plays games and word just as good as a regular one but if you have the volume all the way up and the sound gets to loud it will crash the system, not sure if you were aware of this issue with the switch lites but in case you didn’t might be something you want to check too ! It happens to me as soon as the opening credits start in Pokémon sword, because the music in the stadium is so loud.
9:50 You should also replace the thermal paste under the copper where you only put it on top. You can unclip the shield and replace it then. It is better for the thermals.
It is a great video, but it does always worry me from an environmental perspective how many of these products with all their expensive and rare components could just be fixed. I mean, with one all that needed to be done was lift 1 little pin back into place, yet it was thrown away!
Nice job. Always a pleasure to watch. As for putting back the screws, always rotate the screw counterclockwise first until it drops in so that the screw thread gets in the position with the thread from plastic. Otherwise you recut a new thread over the old one and stretching the plastic.
I know it would have taken time to do but I would have given Switch Number 7 a new housing. Those bite marks makes the Switch look awful and on top of that you can never apply a proper screen protector without seeing the imperfections showing so long as the bite marks still remains. What I would do is revisit Switch Number 7 later on and change the shell,give it a replacement screen if needed and give it a Kickstand to protect the Micro SD Card. If I already didn't have a Switch I'd gladly pay for a Seller Refurbished price instead of paying for a Used and Abused price.
#2 puts itself back together, all he has to do it's throw the parts back in, and they bolt themselves in. Also it would be awesome if the full Switch had different color options, now that you mention that blue case
I need to LOOK INTO this type of repair Seriously!!! I'll check out more of your videos and take some notes to teach MYSELF, like I always do. I'm pretty good with memorizing repair techniques!!
When I bought my last shell for a shell swap I was torn between this one and the clear dark blue one from extremerate. In the end I decided on the clear blue one, but it was close.
Honestly thats an amazing lot all easy fixes and all of them turning on without issues, but anyway i think that if you had to change a usb c port and or an m92 you would do great as always but its more time consuming, happy new year Steve :)
How do we use BW-100 to fix minor joycon drift on a lite? Do we have to take the console apart, or just put a little on where the joycon meets the console?
Thoroughly loved you throwing the parts where they should go and it snapping into place immediately. It’s the little things from your videos I appreciate lol
Great video to finish of the new year. And that t-shirt looks amazing. Thanks for all the great content this year, and all the best for 2022. So close to that 1M.
Another great video! Thanks Steve! Question: what could cause the display on a water-damaged Switch to go dim? Even with brightness setting at max, it's still dim. Display is visible only under bright light at an angle. Thanks in advance!
This reminded me of when my parents through out my original Xbox but one of the workers at the dump realized it just had a disk stuck in it, fixed it right away, and got my Xbox
As someone who is a complete newbie and was able to swap my joycon shells which includes removing the analog sticks it is very easy. Just make sure you buy a tool set with the correct screwdrivers.
It’s fairly easy, the ribbon cables can be a d!ck though. Just be careful and you’ll be fine. I’ve built my own from scratch and swapped the locking buckles from plastic to metal on all my joycons.
@@owainjones2643 You can also buy new cases, so you don't have to look for special edition ones. A case swap on a joycon is fairly easy, basically the same steps you have to take to replace the sticks. There are quite a few nice cases, clear ones for example.
Great video, I always enjoy watching these. For the screen removal would a heat gun, or one of those heat mats from ifixit not work to make the adhesive easier to release? I know with ipads / iphones those are used often along with a suction cup to remove screens.
I always like watching you repair things. I don't even have an xbox or playstation, but you make me want to try repairing stuff myself. I will never try of course. I have a switch, and no use for the others, but I still want to try.... you make it look so fun.
I know its probably not as much of an interesting video but id love to see a video on how to get industrial or tough solder off boards. Some techniques that you found helpful. Regardless keep up the great videos!
Cant believe you're about to make it to a million within the day. You deserved it along time ago! Been watching a long time and have learned tons from you, congrats!
I normally admire your work and I think what you do is absolutely amazing but pleeease use a heat gun or a heat mat to soften the adhesive around the screen next time !! :D 7:33
Hey Steve, your Switch fixes are the best, man! Do you have any resources on how to fix a Switch with self touching touch screen (it is clicking on its own) and an HDMI port that does not connect to the dock but it does to other HDMI/USB-C connector? Would love to send it for you to fix but I am in South America and would not trust anyone else with my console. Thanks and amazing work!

Broken device "market" is wild.
If you think $100 is expensive you should see some of the prices on broken GPUs… it’s absolutely insane
@@chrisbagnell Yup! I have seen few broken GPUs with absolutely destroyed HDMI ports and some with typical "It stopped working so I threw it in oven" and all the plastic parts have melted..
I wish that were true but it's not anymore. Broken stuff on eBay sometimes goes for more than what used items go for. It's crazy.
Thank you for keeping our game systems out of the landfills! You're a Super Hero to all us gamers!
Thanks!
You might want to consider recycling old electronic devices. Keeps them out of the landfills aswell. Just saying.
I agree

I really question how people even get their sticks that dirty. Like there's dirty and then there's absolutely disgusting...
Hi
Use a heat pad to warm up the screen, that will soften the glue and you'll be able to remove the screen real easy
I know it would have taken time to do but I would have given Switch Number 7 a new housing.

I really love that blue/purple shell switch. It's very sharp!
I really like how that one turned out.
Yeah but i hate that theres no switch logo on the back
@@Tamay. I'd love to get my hands on it and put tronicsfix logo on it.
@@Tronicsfix Out of curiosity are you going to post these to eBay or your shop?
When I bought my last shell for a shell swap I was torn between this one and the clear dark blue one from extremerate. In the end I decided on the clear blue one, but it was close.
Some really nice fixes in there Steve, also really liked the look of that new case. My T-Shirt is on it's way 😎😎
I love the look of that custom shell. Thank you so much for the support. It means a lot.
Cracked up with the sequence of tossing the parts in place. I love the little cut sequences thrown in there between the full teardowns/installs.
I love the editing where you just toss the pieces back into place
Awesome stuff Steve and so so close now. Caught your test stream earlier. If you need any help I'm at your disposal:)
Thanks Phil. I appreciate it. Ya, just getting things set up.
@@Tronicsfix no problem, can't wait 😊
man I love looking at that magnified screen, it looks like major demolition... but logically we know it's just a tiny button xD but so satisfying!
Yo! The new zoom in looks so crisp! New camera i presume? In any case it's a hell of an upgrade and I can't wait to see more recorded with it!
New microscope. I'm really liking the result too!
Honestly thats an amazing lot all easy fixes and all of them turning on without issues, but anyway i think that if you had to change a usb c port and or an m92 you would do great as always but its more time consuming, happy new year Steve :)
Just what I needed before 2022! Thank you and a happy new year form the Netherlands! 🇳🇱
Happy new year!
Steve. Greetings from Australia. Thanks for an interesting year of videos. Wishing you all the best for 2022.

Thanks 👍
Congratulations Steve. 1 million subscribers 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Your videos are still so entertaining! Great job!
Thanks so much!
It`s shocking how people throw away obviously fixable consoles like the one with the bad controller rails
6:00 Loving the new instant fixed effects now Sir. Nice little spin on your videos.
The New Year going out with a banger of a video

You do amazing job fixing these consoles Steve I can't wait for a fixable Wii and a fixable GameCube unless you fixed those already
I've got a big Wii U video coming but haven't had time to film it yet. Hopefully in 2022

Sad seeing all these awesome consoles broken.

I approve the snap transitions 👍
Steve, do you recommend buying joycons with analogue drift? Is it a fix for a newbie?
As someone who is a complete newbie and was able to swap my joycon shells which includes removing the analog sticks it is very easy. Just make sure you buy a tool set with the correct screwdrivers.
It can be an easy fix. They also aren't too difficult to replace. It's good practice.
@@Tronicsfix thanks, I'll get on ebay and look for some special edition ones and buy some ifixit joysticks
It’s fairly easy, the ribbon cables can be a d!ck though. Just be careful and you’ll be fine. I’ve built my own from scratch and swapped the locking buckles from plastic to metal on all my joycons.

Would it not be easier if you put the screen on a heating pad for 10 minutes before trying to take it out ?

That screen-swap looks nerve-wracking as all hell.
Have you ever done a swap, only to realize that you installed it upside down..?

I was literally watching your other switch repair video and now this one, what a great day
So glad you're enjoying these!
Early congrats on 1mil subscribers your videos helped me fix my controller a while ago
almost 1m, keep it up my man💪🤯
About to hit 1 million!! Def deserve it.
Hey thanks!
Steve, I thought you would also replace the screens which were pretty bad. Maybe it wasn't worth it?
Imo, it's not worth it for these. Especially since you have to replace the digitizer & screen as an assembly.
You are surely one of the best game console restorers I have ever encountered so far on TH-cam . Happy new year and may God 🙏🏾 🙇🏾♂️ you dude !
Extremerate shells are really good, i have one for the normal switch and the texture is better than the original
how many times did you say BW100 lol. good video love watching fix it vids keep them up. happy new year
