      Most of the time they are user returns meaning if they get returned to a store they can't go back on the shelf so they go onto liquidation sites. I bought a pallet of Bluetooth speakers which were "tested not working" and 12/19 I had worked right off the pallet with no issues. The other big issue was batteries were bad which was a cheap fix. (Made over $800 profit on the whole pallet.)

    Just FYI. Given the date of this video pretty sure you have this sorted.
    Found this T/S method for Blue Screen issue on Reddit ;
    Fix theory for the Switch BSOD(Blue Screen of Death):
    1.) make sure your dock is plugged into the wall and your tv
    2.) Hold the power button down for 12 seconds till it turns off (hard reset)
    3.) immediately put your switch into the dock (and i mean no more that 1-2 seconds after)
    If anyone With a switch has Blue Screen of Death (BSoD), try what I did, and let me know if it works for you. This saved me $100, and I hope I can save others with this quick tip.

    Wow Steve, you have been incredibly lucky with these so far!!!!!! What a lovely batch to buy, looks like repair hasn't been attempted. This luck has to run out on part 2 :-) I wonder whether some of the working ones might have docking issues. You probably already know this but if you want a proper test of the touch screen then you can go to System settings/controllers and sensors/test input devices/ and then test touch screen. It does x amount of dots per second so you can test slow and fast movements. Great video as always and looking forward to the other parts:-)

    Hey Steve! It's been a while since I watched your videos. Good thing that 8 out of 10 switches are fixable, but one of them will need to be diagnosed what's going on with left Joy-Con being disconnected. I do understand that one of them that has blue screen are not fixable because it could be some permanent brick (probably missing operating system files).

      Giovanni Graziano it gets dry and crusty over time, heat transfer isn't optimal when that happens

    • @Tronicsfix
      @Tronicsfix  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thermal paste is all about transferring heat. As thermal paste ages it gets dry and doesn't transfer heat away from the chip as well. The other problem is that once you remove something that has thermal paste on it you will break the seal that it had and then it won't transfer heat as well either.

  • @chicozeb
    @chicozeb 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Are you sure a normal thermal paste is good for the back of the heat pipe? It does not seem to make direct contact with the backplate. The thermal paste may bleed out if that's the case. Maybe a thermal pad, or a gummy thermal paste like k5-pro would be better?

    • @Tronicsfix
      @Tronicsfix  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep, it works fine. I'll probably experiment with viscous thermal paste at some point. Just make sure not to use really thin thermal paste.

      Only if the paste is dried out. Since I'll be selling these as refurbished I have a checklist of everything I do and that's one of the things so every one of these will have new thermal paste.

    • @Tronicsfix
      @Tronicsfix  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Totally depends on what's wrong and if I have a parts unit laying around and if there's only one thing wrong. Anywhere from $0-$30. I'd say it probably averages $10 per unit.

  • @MomirPeh
    @MomirPeh 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just saying... OL does mean overload. the continuity mode is basically the resistance measurement mode and in both modes the multimeter will display OL because the amount of resistance seen by the device is too big and cannot be measured, hence the word overload. Some multimeters (well, most of them) will also display OL in case you are trying to measure a current or voltage that is out of the multimeter's range. Open line or Open loop, as some say, can also be used, I guess, but it's not the correct term.
    Nevertheless, I really like your videos. Almost as much as Louis Rossmann's. Keep up the good work and keep 'em comin'!
