This Nintendo SWITCH has a BROKEN USB-C Port | Can I FIX It?

Күн бұрын

This Switch is in pretty bad shape! The USB-C port has been completely ripped off the board, so it obviously doesn't charge and doesn't dock. It's going to need a new port and some teeny tiny trace repair.
Let's try and fix it!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve
PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

@@StezStixFix Sorry on the double post I messed up a bit as I'm not the greatest with KZfaq lol. Love your channel though as you are very enjoyable to listen to and watch solder as well!! I have a question : do you take requests if someone had a console and the parts and wanted you to do an upgrade or mod? I have a few consoles here but I had one in particular where I have an og xbox and was hoping to do a cap replacement as some are bulging but I suck horribly at soldering lol. So I was curious if I could send to you to do for a Future episode? If so let me know and we and can chat and thanks for your time mate!!

I have watched so many of your videos now, I find them absolutely brilliant. I had a Nest Cam with a broken micro-USB port, came away from the board. Sat there for a year or so, with a view to one day fix it. After watching your videos, I got myself a microscope and a decent solder iron set, and copied what I have watched you do so many times. The nest cam powered up last night, and I am super chuffed. Thank you so much for your content, my only wish is that you could bring videos out faster, because I cannot get enough of them.

Nothing is more satisfying to me than giving a dead a given up on console/game a new life. About two years ago i found a Nintendo DS in the dumpster. Took it home, swapped shell and battery, cleaned everything up and now it looks like in its best days and works like a charm :) (except for the screens which have a few dead pixels).

Good job, Steve. If you wanted to do a solder blob I would recommend not using the flux, that would make it easier to bridge the solder from the connector pin to the via. With the flux in the mix, it's going to be virtually impossible for solder to connect.
