- Hi, in this video I attempt to repair a Nintendo Switch with numerous faults. It was sent in by Mike from 1up Gaming. It doesn't power on and it doesn't charge even with a replacement battery. Let's see if it can be fixed.
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things.
I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series.
Many thanks, Vince. - Jak na to + styl
"You do the switch too much" Not a chance, love watching you work on these. Keep up the great videos
Exactly. I cannot fathom someone complaining about any video here. Vince is an inspiration and probably the kind of bloke you have pints with.
@@TechGorilla1987 I'd probably even let him win a game of Mario Kart just to hear the "Yessssss, Brilliant. I Did it"
F off then don’t watch him not everyone has a Chanel where they do all the consoles
There are way to many switch try to fix videos & it gets boring others must have said the same or he wouldn't be saying it at the beginning of the video

Vince you are no longer a rookie when it comes to repairing switches

@@Kealan3121 what
Best part of the video is when Vince shout: "Yeeeeeess!!!"
Crazy work!!!! My congratulations!!!!
That "YES", one of the most rewarding sounds ever..I know the feeling of a successful fix.
The amount of effort you put into your hobby and share with us is just amazing. Congratulations for this great fix and stick on with your great content. Always makes me smile to hear that "yeeeessss!!".
Pretty sure this is his full-time job now not his hobby.
Yep he has 600K+ subscribers. Defo not a hobby anymore
@@evildiesel1709 hi
@@Tooohardtofindone hi to you too!
Hi
That feeling you get when all the time put in pays off Yesssss !! Brilliant Vince thanks for another great vid.
So pleased to see it work out at the end. I wouldn't have had that patience.
When I saw that mess I said to myself "I would give up". But you went all and beyond. That is what makes you different than others youtubers.
And keep fixing Switches, we love it.
Why would Vince fixing a nintendo switch upset me, it's like christmass when i see a My Mate Vince video!
I know! hes a switch pro
Agreed!
He's no pro but he did gain experience
I love seeing how happy you get whenever you get something working.
Game consoles are my favorite thing to watch you try and fix!
Same:)
Hi😊😂
I swear he sounded like he was crying at the end when he said 24 pins 0.1mm wire!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Magnet wire is also tricky to work with. A very impressive repair from Vince.
I watched the whole video, amazing job! I wouldn't even attempt running this many tiny wires around the board. Great job
Crazy amount of effort but well done vince , perseverance beats all , about to attempt to track a fault in my sony TV hoping i will be shouting yessss too haha
How did it go?
Did some diagnostics and letting caps discharge i worry its dry joint as it only displays the fauly once hot , it thinks theres a input but there isnt gonna unplug side button board next to test further
@@user-te1le7ck6b did you manage to fix it.
@@jttuning5118 yes mate i did as it happens i traced the fault to a button board so i disconectted it and reset the tv been working fine ever since , just cant use buttons on tvs side only remote but thats fine by me to be honest
@@user-te1le7ck6b thats awesome man well done
ive worked with pcb boards industry for over25 yrs. few i know would even attempt this fix. This really is an astounding acheivement of rescue. You should be really proud of yourself vince.
The sheer amount of joy that Vince makes when the Switch finally works on the TV can be felt through the screen. Good job man!
Congratulations on that amazing fix. You are such a legend! I remember when you first started how you struggled to not break the display flex cable and replacing chips was something of a dream. I'm so happy to see that you've come this far. Please keep making switch videos, they are entertaining and it's such a good feeling when they work again.
Hi,
I come from an electronic engineering background and I do appreciate your videos. I know you don't this for the money, but like myself we do this for the love of electronics. I hope there are more of us out there. I am sure there is. Keep up the good work.
I feel so happy for you, the accomplishment must have been amazing
been watching you for years, you've come so far, from a senior level 3 technician of 15yrs, well done good sir, this was an achievement.
53:25
That change in the tone and the motivation tho ... that's just great .. keep up the good work ❤❤❤
All that time spent learning about impedance matching and differential signalling in PCB layout sure feels like a waste now seeing such stuff work fine with a ball of bodge wires. Well done, you've got more patience then I.
I think that HDMI signals are slow enough that impedance differences from line length are not an issue.
@@Jeff121456 A common misconception. All digital square wave signals contain high frequency content in the edges (harmonics), regardless of the fundamental frequency.
i have a degree in electronic engineering and 90% of things you would think important are literally never used or bothered with, usually the bodge jobs work better. feelsbadman lol. he has far more patience than me.
Wow... You've gone from "the Switch Killer" to this... This USB repair is absolutely INSANE
What a legend, I shared your joy when it came up on the screen, great work Vince! You've come such a long way
Vince, your patience knows no bounds! Brilliant video! I think I'm speaking for most of us that watch your efforts when I say that sometimes the suspense and tension is almost unbearable as we all want you to succeed in repairing whatever it is. Better than watching TV!!
On USB-C, the CC lines are used to detect the orientation of the plug. The chip you call a "video chip" is actually a USB3 multiplexer chip that's used to route the signals to one set of pins or the other.
I must admit... you’ve made a real Frankenstein-monster out of that USB-C port. And yet...
*IT’S ALIVE!!!*
Nothing better than a My Mate Vince video and a cold beer.
Excellent work Vince, so rewarding when it works, all that effort has paid off. USB type C is a repairers nightmare with those hidden pins.
Best thing ever when something that complicated ends up working and always love the reaction, that was sick!
you are the GOAT repair youtuber for figuring out the entire usb-c pin layout from a stripped Nintendo Switch board
Back from the dead. Love these switch adventures. Thanks for the incredible journey.
"24 pins of 0.1........wire" loved it 😂
Good one Vince!
Vince, when you finally get to the point where it's time to see if the work pays off, and the excitement bursts out, that's what I'm here to see! Always enjoy the content. Great work and effort 👍👍
The problem solving, tenacity and patience is admirable to say the least.
Well done Vince. I love to see any kind of game repair, Switch, Xbox, Playstation it's all good. Thank you
You just gained my subscription with this amazing work of perseverance. Love when people really put effort into repairing things instead of changing everything straght ahead
Looks like someone tried to replace the usb C port and dropped the soldering iron on that video chip. That's not a "burn" like you would get from a faulty chip... by the way love your videos Vince, you never claim to be an expert or "know it all" but I appriciate your honesty and the information you give out in these videos. Could never get bored of these switch videos. I use to repair ps3's and xbox 360's when they were pretty new. Brings back the memories from them, I now focus on phones mainly
Congrats! It's been nice to see your skills improving over time and you have the patience of a saint!
I love that at nearly 1000 videos and over half a million subscribers you still sound so excited when something works. Shows that you do this for the fun and nothing else and that your feet at still firmly on the ground! Great job! 😊
Don't worry about those who are upset, that's not your audience anyway. Be grateful about all of those who cheer when any new repair video comes up! Thanks for another Switch repair.
Nothing beats getting in from work after keeping the NHS, 999 and key workers fuelled up and with snacks also (i am a retail Petrol Station Manager) to a great vlog from Vince, previously known as the Switch Killer, now should be the Switch Fix it KING, great video mate, very enjoyable, keep them coming matey.
Wow... Vince. A amazing fix. Skill level is definitely going up!!! Well done matey. Videos are some much better too.
Hey Vince, love your videos. I have several switches that all have the same problem. They work as handhelds but cannot dock just as you describe. I have a feeling I will need to copy your diagram and run wires from the hidden pins on the USB to their spots on the board. Looks to be a 10/10 difficulty fix but seeing your job at the end gives me inspiration. Cheers!
Thought I had seen most of your switch videos. Just seen this. You are a genius, never gave up when most would have. Loved. Keep on fixing.
I love the reaction when you fixed it. You are the man Vince. Love the videos. Keep them coming.
I have to go kayaking this morning man ! Well to bad for me mates, time to watch Vince !
Great perseverance fix Vince! Really loved your reaction at the end when you got it docking!!
great job on the usb repair, very impressive work! your trying to fix videos are all extremely illuminating and make me feel like broken electronics can (almost) all be fixed with skill, the right parts, and a boatload of dedication.
The Reaction on fix is exactly why I love this channel.
I dont usually leave comments but the amount of work you did in this video amazed me hats off to vince
Absolutely brilliant work on the USB part of the Switch, understood what you were saying in the diagram about the tracers from the pins. Love it when a fists up Hurray or Hurrah comes up and everything working. I'm just beginning to catch up with all your brilliant videos, thank you so much for not making my night shifts not so unbearably boring, learning a lot off you too.
The switch videos are always great to see, especially as someone who doesn’t own one because it’s just another chance to get a glimpse at something cool that I’ll be unlikely to hold in my own hands. Keep making them all you want!
Best Nintendo switch fix Vince, i see you were happy on the reflection of the tv lol when the Nintendo came on to the screen. The excitement is priceless a sign of joy and relief 👍👍👍
without a doubt you've become "Vince the master Switch"
It's always satisfying seeing you get super happy when you successfully fix a device. Great job Vince!
You have so much patience! Awesome job Vince 👏👏
Really loved the result of your hard work! I really was happy too when the switch worked on docked mode in the end! Loved the whole video! Worth watching from start to finish :)
Congrats on the repair Vince. Amazing work.
I can easily imagine how tricky that solder work can be. Glad you persevered. It is stuff like this that teaches you the most. Good job. Now seeing all these videos makes me want to go back and finish one of my early learn to solder projects which was a little radio. I don't remember how I did it but I lost one of the pads but now I see so many of you showing how to run wires and I am working with the old through hole components that soldering should be a cakewalk compared to what you just accomplished.
No matter what you do, the happiness you get from your fixes makes us happy!! Keep up the good work!! 👍🏼
Man you were so excited at the end. I love your reactions. 👏🏼 keep it up
The highlight of the video is the 1 hour mark signature yes. Well done mate I could never even get close to what you did.
I applaud your patience. When it showed on TV I jumped on bed from excitement haha.
Such great job!
Love watching you fix switches!! Congrats on another sucessful fix!!
You're a total madlad, connecting all those wires to the usb-c port, tracing out where they'd need to go, but what a result! *three thumbs up*
I always get excited when Vince fixes these things. Amazing job Vince~! Absolutely AMAZING! 👏🤣
Congrats on your fix, this is by far the best video I watched all week. You definitely know your stuff with all the switches, etc. ,you fixed.
I love watching vince find a way to fix things
Great video. Satisfying fixes. Good job Vince!
You never seise to amaze me Vince! I know this project was taken far beyond what anyone else would do to get a Switch working properly again but it was absolutely wonderful to watch the process. I was jumping up and down with joy when it started working in docked mode and I could feel your excitement 😂I love your content (especially when it comes to the Nintendo Switch) and I hope you never stop doing this. Thank you for all the time and effort that went into this video!
I really like the switch videos. They are very satisfying when you bring one back to life.
Just fixed up some coffee for the morning and sitting down to watch another brand new Vince video!
I love this channel because you keep on trying to fix things even if they are completely uneconomical (time-wise) to fix. It's great that it isn't about turning a profit, but rather about solving the problem.
Love your trying to fix videos vince.. Keep up the great work and hope to see another long video soon ☺
👏👏👏 Amazing job, Vince! When you were working on the charge port, I could just hear Louis Rossmann saying "Paul queue!" over and over. Your perseverance is very admirable!
I cannot believe that USB-C worked! Well done Vince you must have the patience of a saint and the soldering powers of a Jedi master.
That was a hardcore fix ,very satisfying trying to fix video.
Very nice job. It’s incredible to watch you from your first switch ti this. What a legend.
Just WOW. Unbelievable hard fix with that USB port jumping all them tiny wires, and yet you did it. I was wowing with you when it docked:) :) loved it. Such an emotional and on top of the edge fix!!!!!
get the finest paint brush for painting miniatures to do conductive paint.
Conductive paint is useless for this job, particularly this type of conductive paint (it's just PVA with a supposed silver fill) the resistance is too high even over short spans.... useless for a capacitive touch screen ribbon repair... even if the repair was perfect the resistance would introduce other issues. to fix properly it's the same as usual, solder and fine wire, done. conductive paint is maybe passable for keyboard repairs or other carbon based tracks that can't be soldered to but again this stuff is so poor you have to add superglue over the top once the silver stuff has "dried" otherwise it will just wipe off and/or degrade.
dom291 stfu
Could have also painted tracks for the HDMI CHARGING PORT had there been a fine enough Brush, me personally I would have used a bamboo Tooth Pick, mind you painting on tracks are pointless if the conductive paint cant be soldered too, and My Mate did say his paint was cheap.. so yeah - sigh...
I love watching all your Nintendo switch video repairs, so for me is not a problem if you keep doing more videos about the same console. 👍🏻
That was a great video Vince, I fixed a switch once but I forgot to turn the power off, it was an electrifying experience to say the least
Great video. Was so excited for you when it came up on the tv. Thanks for all your content.
Well done, Vince. Perseverance paid off eventually. Enjoyed this one.
What a great video, you put some seroius work into that, and your reaction at the end was an absolute joy to behold, well done mate, thanks for entertaining us, and keep up the good work!
vince went from switch killer to switch reviver in couple of months. Nicely done, I would probably wouldn't have the patience to fix it like that.
Vince you're a madmen, that was crazy all those little wires. Great job on the fix!
From "Switch Killer" to "Switch Savior"
Wow great work Vince. I can't believe you fixed it. That looked tedious I don't think I would ever tried that
Amazing perseverance and fantastic result. Well done! Really enjoyed watching that.
Well done Vince. I really enjoy watching your videos.
“Let’s just double check, that it’s not a fluke” 1:00:38 lol are you a snooker referee? Great video Vince. Thanks for over an hour of entertainment.
57:22 the whole thing just looks like a disaster and i was thinking, "just throw it in the garbage and be happy.
A little later and many small wires are connected, you put it into the dock and it works.
You are amazing Vince, and that you not give up before you know that something is totally fucked is worth to admire you for.
A really great work on that Switch!
Love your game console fixes Vince.
I just watch the full 1 hour and 3 minutes and I couldn't be more impressed well done sir well done YESSSSS
This was one of your biggest repairs, congratulations! :D
1:00:21 got to be the best YES yet. Totally amazed at your paitience with that USB port Vince well done!!
Very well done! Loved seeing it 100% functional at the end!
I love watching you fixing Nintendo Switches!
You make a such a good job Vince! Looks like you skilled enough in fixing switches.
