It is indeed an amazing idea, but you can still estimate: He paid $90 for each of those Switches. They could resell for about $250 (depending on their condition). He has to include a pair of JoyCons ($70) and a generic USB charger + USB-C cable kit ($10). Total cost for each switch sold : $170. Average selling price : $250. This means that every Switch sold will generate around $80 in revenue. When applied to 20 Switches, for an initial $1800 investment, potential gains are of 80*20=$1600. He seems to spend, on average, 30 minutes to repair a switch, and this equates to two Switches per hour. After crunching the numbers, we can see that TronicsFix's average salary for fixing those is approximately of 160$ an hour. Not bad! I love those videos, please don't stop making them :)
yeah I fixed my own xbox 360 too.

yea... you could but, you need a few broken ones for parts cuz its really hard to buy the parts unless you can find them in shenzhen china, you will also need a rework hot air station. that alone is about 200 dollars. you got at least the rework station, youve got a chance, with this, knowledge to help you through.
I can see it getting a bit tedious going through repetitive motions over and over again but we all enjoy watching you do it. Thank you for videos, it gives an amateur console repair enthusiast like me a base to start on. Seeing someone else who has already made the mistakes and has the insight to help me not make as many of them myself, is a great thing.
I usually don't know what are you talking about but I find these videos very entertaining. Good luck with the rest of the consoles (but I guess you have already recorded the last video 😋)
But between these two, I was spurred to buy a hot-air rework station and attempt a repair on my own. Reducing waste and cost in our own ways is always nice.
The power distribution chip M92T36 can cause intermittent power issues. I have seen quite a few consoles which freeze while idling or don't come out of sleep mode. To the seller they look broken as when initially plugged in, nothing comes up on the screen.
Love this, never seen someone replace one of those tiny chips by hand I always assumed it was impossible, slapped on by a machine and then trash if it fails. Great video thanks.
Dude i was supposed to be filming for my own channel and for some reason you popped up on my TH-cam home page. I have just sat here and watched the whole video. Absolute quality. You just gained yourself a new sub. Keep up the good work man.
TH-cam recommending this to me even though I'm not into electronics fixing, nor do I own a nintendo switch. But the AI knows me better than myself, I did watch and enjoy this
Your videos are an awesome, laid back approach to electronic repair that honestly makes it look less intimidating than most others. The friendly vibes are a nice touch to the top notch level of technically informative content
Dude, you are exactly what a good tech repair guy should be like. Thanks for making these videos. Super fun to watch and makes me want to dabble in repairing myself (yes I have a soldering kit and meter!)
So in general, I am a huge fan of your videos. As someone who largely taught themselves electronics repair after having a few formal classes in circuitry and design I find your videos extremely helpful and a great resource. I have a few questions on the equipment I see in just about every one of your videos; I was wondering what types of leads you use for your meter? What type of soldering station you use and the heat gun you use? And what type of microscope you use?
i found this channel by seeing the first switch video. Looked to see if there was another and there wasn't. Click on my home screen and this video is in my recommends Lmao
I don't know anything about electronic repairs, but man do I love watching your videos! Why? I dunno they are pretty chill and wholesome! Keep being awesome!
Trying to follow along but half the time I have no idea what's happening. 😅 But these are just so super enjoyable to watch. We, the viewer feel so included and invested whenever you acknowledge us!
lmao, you can install HEN on superslims, it works just like a cfw, don’t share misleading informations brother. also the lot is 77€ for 10 consoles, if you sell 2 for 50€ you are good already
Dude you enjoy what your doing and this is actually very interesting. You are living the life my man ! Happy New Year ! And may there be thousands of other broken electronics waiting for you out there to fix :)
Wish I could subscribe to a comment, because I'm wondering the same thing. Checked the "everything I use in my videos" link but it has no chips. Like a grocery store that only sells kitchen appliances... oh wait that's bed bath and beyond. _shrug_
The charge chip he replaces at 16:26 reads 'M92T36' and searching for it got me to a link for purchase. Wasn't able to read the writing on the other chips though
@@theodiscusgaming3909 I don't think you even need the model number. I searched for "Charge chip for nintendo switch" and the chips shown already say "M92T36" so I imagine that searching for the name of the part will already be fine, correct me if I'm wrong.
Steve you are so great on fixing these consoles. I was actually able to fix mine by following your steps. Thanks for showing us how fun it can be to fix your own stuff. Keep it up!
You should try to inject voltage and put IPA on the board and notice where it dries to find shorts. Also with really bad corrosion you can just try and reflow all the solder using flux. Both of those things often solve plenty of problems for Louis Rossmann, u should try them too
I see that you, too, watch him. The thing with corrosion is that while you're right, what Tronix said is right and you'll see Louis runs into it every so often. The corrosion is so bad that either the pin or the pad is unsalvageable. Re-tinning it won't help because there's nothing for it to stick to. Even if the pin was able to take the stuff, there's still the fact that it'll continually corrode over time and be another broken device to the same issue it had before. It's like trying to fix a hole in the wall without using plaster. You can "fix" it, but without something for it to stick yo, the wall will eventually weaken and fall apart or will remain susceptible to damage. It's not a perfect analogy, but it works pretty well I think. That board was so far gone that it was better using it for parts. You'd not only give a temporary fix and sell this device, you'd be doing no better than Apple who would knowingly do this same thing and still give it back to their customers, because it's another visit for them, meaning more money.
I would just try my best and if it works i'd sell it for an extra discounted price letting the customer know about its conditions. I don't know how many parts are actually in good condition so I can't tell how valuable it would be to keep it as spares, so I really can't argue with what he decided to do. In any case props to him for caring about the customer
For some reason, yours is one of those videos that it’s just interesting and fun to watch when it comes out. Cause we don’t know what to expect with every unit that you fix 😁. Also, seems that you are the only one that is doing this particular genre right
Ι've watched your latest videos and I'm really excited about what you do and I wish I hadn't tossed my devices like that .. Can I make a stupid question? Is there a chance the capacitor it self can be the problem? Are they replacable? Or they just point out which chip has the problem? Thanks for your time
Yes the capacitor can be the problem however on Switches I've only seen one that I remember that had a faulty capacitor and not a faulty chip. It can be either. Sometimes I'll remove the chip to see if the short goes away.
@@Tronicsfix Thank you for your reply ! Wow gosh must be really hard to change those small capacitors and set them in place..Better be the chip than those haha
You have some cool equipment. I have to rebuy all of my tools, I don't think I can justify the cost of buying the same stuff as you for my level of hobby use though lol
Don't you know that video games are the source of violent acts? It was a PSA to have that written on the back to stave off the violent outbursts. Even back then they knew the truth. *typed with tongue firmly in cheek
I've been binging your videos a lot lately because I went to school for Computer Engineering and I find your work incredibly entertaining. So much so that I put together my own soldering station and completed my first fix today on a drifting xbox controller. It was only drifting along the y axis so I took your advice and only replaced the offending pot. She works as good as the day I got her now and I think I may want to do this kind of thing more often and possibly even create a business out of it one day. Long story short thanks for giving this aimless 23 year old something to do, I really needed it :)

Everything
How hard is it to solder the tiny chips? Do you need to have really steady hands?
@JoshuaHam It's really hard at first...but after I just kept doing it over and over it got much easier. My hands aren't steady and I manage...I've just learned to work around that.

Not worth it, but for learning, it is a yes. You can sell some to cover the capital and donate the rest of it. Everybody is happy.
Nah Super Slims aren't good the only ones worth anything nowadays are the phats backwards compatible with Ps2

Your ability to pull chips without disturbing the solder pads under it is quite amazing.
Will you fix phones in the future? I would like to see that, since I'm also into that.
Oooh that charge chip replacement was like watching an artisan at work, kudos for giving us a close-up of that little procedure.
Do your "out of camera" testing on camera and you're good to open a second channel : TronicsGaming.
Congrats! You make it fun and simple, honest traits of an excellent teacher who enjoys his trade!
You have some cool equipment. I have to rebuy all of my tools, I don't think I can justify the cost of buying the same stuff as you for my level of hobby use though lol
Ha, ha...ya, maybe not if it's just a hobby!
You encouraged me and I started fixing the previous mouse I was using. And I succeeded. Thanks for the inspiration
8:38 heh he accidentally edited in the same short clip twice
Your vids have helped me to find an interest in repairing consoles. Thanks, Tronics.
"Do not subject to violent impact" is what it said on the back of Sega Genesis cartridges...
Don't you know that video games are the source of violent acts? It was a PSA to have that written on the back to stave off the violent outbursts. Even back then they knew the truth.
*typed with tongue firmly in cheek
These are really satisfying to watch
You have replaced the charge chips so many times on a switch that you could probably do it blindfolded
I dont even have any have ant desire to fix anything, but here I am marathoning your videos. It is just so interesting.
I got blessed with my fathers short temper so I’d literally have no patience with any of these 😂😂😂
I've been binging your videos a lot lately because I went to school for Computer Engineering and I find your work incredibly entertaining. So much so that I put together my own soldering station and completed my first fix today on a drifting xbox controller. It was only drifting along the y axis so I took your advice and only replaced the offending pot. She works as good as the day I got her now and I think I may want to do this kind of thing more often and possibly even create a business out of it one day. Long story short thanks for giving this aimless 23 year old something to do, I really needed it :)
