Thanks Joey for all your work on getting to the bottom of the problems experienced with this. Just a bit of understanding from both parties is all that's required to sort out most problems (and a bit of tech knowhow!) I can conform that both switches are still working perfectly and that all the controllers are also working well. Thanks for your understanding and being nice about my attempts at fixing the thing, I just don't have the eyes for this sort of thing anymore - I need a microscope camera like yours! Thanks everyone for your kind comments too - I am indeed a lovely guy! 😉
hey bud i noticed your original switch is quite scratched up. While i don't know of an easy to way to fix a scratched up screen i can recommend a great way to keep it safe. Glass screen protectors are readily available on amazon for under $10 and as an added bonus using the touch screen when its glass is far more satisfying than using a plastic touchscreen like the in the case of the switch.
Wow.. Seeing all of those bridges and leaving them in the video is probably one of the best things you could have done. As someone who's been trying to get in this hobby for a bit, this showed me that even the pro's make mistakes sometimes. And best of all you showed me an easy way to fix the bridges haha. Awesome video!

Yeah, I sell games on ebay and i've already had plenty of people trying to tell me that the games i've tested thouroughly wasn't working, but it seems i can ward them off by trying to press them for details by listing what could be going wrong. After that, its just "It started working again!" lmao.
I don’t think eBay is actually“full of scammers”, though there probably are a lot of less than entirely honest buyers. Plenty of problems to go around though.
@@cheezyfriez12 ebay is full of scammers :) i would not even bother. Still remember one guy who claimed he did not receive my service (ref-a-friend). I reported his account and he got banned. Same guy came to me telling me he got banned ffs. Asked him : how can you get banned for something you did not receive xD - real life 1v1 trade is the best.
Just found your channel in my for you page and subscribed straight away. Love the relaxed feel of the video yet you explained everything what you was doing so I understood! Nice one
I broke my original switch trying to put on the atomic purple shell and joycon cases. Never again. My hands are not made for this type of work. It was 3 days before I was traveling by plane. Went and bought an oled. Maybe some day I'll try to get it fixed. I know I probably put screws back in the wrong places and definitely broke the ribbon cable that detects when a joycon is attached for handheld mode. Live and learn. You make it look so easy. Great vid.
Thankyou! That wasn't me too long ago either haha. They are extremely small devices especially when you taker them apart, making it very difficult. Like anything though, the more I practiced the better I got :)
@@JoeyDoesTech I eventually got the joycons atomic purple. But that took me trying for 3 or 4 days on and off lol springs and ribbon cables just made it a nightmare lol I miss the easy days of the snes and og Playstation and Saturn controllers. Once we had touch sensitive shoulder buttons and analogue sticks was the end for my tinkering days. Just got too expensive lol I will never try to mess with a duelsense.
Joey! I love seeing you progress through your videos, you definitely feel a lot more confident in your switch videos :) Thanks for all of the entertainment from the NEC/TOKIN fail, and to now! Wish you all the very best, you've exceeded my switch knowledge :) I left the scene a long while ago
Excellent work, I had similar issues with customers (I repaired a PS4 with blue ray issues and after some days the HDD went bad...) but with a good attitude everything works in the right way, even if It's not our fault like in your case.
I wish there were more guys like you willing to repair consoles. So many consoles now get what seem like small issues, but us average folks either lack the knowledge or tools (skill is gained), to fix them. Like I could take it apart but things like replacing the chip.. I don't have a solder, or tools, or knowledge of soldering. I can't tell you how much money I must have blown buying replacement consoles or controllers because of small things like stick drift, or overheating issues due to a fan not working right (and I can tell it just needs a new fan but idk how to replace that...). Repair shops charge 150 usd or more, don't guarantee a fix, and often, won't actually address the issue ... Shame. For that I may as well buy a new console tbh. Stress and all that.
Well done Joey, and bravo to nic for being understanding. my Achilles heel is the WiFi chip, if it's flaky and works fine on my router. then the buyer gets it and after a few days, can't see WiFi networks, that's annoying! If you still have this switch I'd double check if the pins in the port ain't touching/his charger dosent have bent pins. keep it up, well done.
I don’t know why but I get a certain joy seeing expensive electronics saved from the bin. Just imagine how many devices are thrown into the landfill each year that has salvable pieces on it (if not almost the whole thing). Waste not what not.
That is the best kind of eBay buyer the ones I deal with are absolute nobs they find one tiny cosmetic flaw with my product and try to return it when I say that’s utterly ridiculous they throw a fit
You've earned yourself a new subscriber! I really enjoy your work, your descriptions while you work and your editing style. Very entertaining and inspiring. Keep it up!
for the big ground area under the M92 chips you are adding toooooo much of solder to the point on the mainboard. use 80% less and you don't need to "clean" the outcoming solder blops. normally you don't have to add solder to it.
After watching this video, I might get into tech repair. Seems like a nice job, probably good pay, I love tech, looks fun, and I've always wanted to do something with tech.
Another great video Joey. I’m sure you did but did you happen to check all buttons on the joycons? As I’m sure you are aware the shoulder buttons are made of cheese 🤣 unless Nick just wanted them checking over! Result regardless and 2 happy people at the end of it! Shame not all sellers are decent people 🙄
The third party board you said nick had install, looks very different from the original one you installed. Even the chip shape and components placement were very different. Would of been nice for a small comparison.
I've got a bit of a weird broken switch. It does work until you insert a game cartridge and then it bricks like that. I tried to get it fixed but no one can figure out what is the problem.
What area are you in? I don’t mind shipping. If you’re up for it I would like to get my daughters switch fixed. I took it to two local shops and none of them knew what to do.
Joey, a question. I know you trying to be quick with your videos - not like me :D. But, why you didn't show even testing a resistance or short before removing M92 chip?
@@JoeyDoesTech It's OK, it's your channel and you can do whatever you want :D. Not every channel has to be exactly the same ;). Fori instance I don't like to cut the time ;), if so, will pause the video, I hade to spend hours to edit it after. And ppl can see how much exactly something takes ;). So, no need to sorry though :D. But, thx for your reply :), that's nice!
My Switch does not charge with the original charger (and the hdmi output does not work). However, I can SLOWLY charge it with a phone charger... Any idea of what is happening?
Is there a way to just "fix" the Sticks or do i need to replace them if i have drift? My sticks have drift and in doing so they have only seen about 20-30 hours of play as I mostly use the Pro Controller. :( But my Console is already out of Guarantee.
Idk why he would pay to get his switch drift fixed since you can send it into nintendo and they do it for free. Or you can buy new controllers and switch them out with the old drift ones when you return it.
If only fixing iPhones were as easy. Because you can have two brand new identical make and model iPhone that you take out of the box at the same time, take and switch the motherboards around and the iPhones won't work properly anymore. You will get error messages on both phones saying that they need to be serviced by Apple. But if you swap them back to where they were, then all issues are gone. So Apple has gone and given each motherboard the same serial number as the phone and if they don't match then the phone won't work. Thank god Nintendo didn't do the same with their Switch.
@@JoeyDoesTech yehhhh buddyyyyy, awesome fixes by the way good to see how confident you now are to when i first watched ya videos, keep up the good work you will go far.
