    I Bought 7 BROKEN Nintendo Switches - But Are They Fixable? These 3 Switches and 4 Switch Lites are from a larger lot and I paid $105 each for them. They have a variety of problems including broken buttons (of course), messed up thumb sticks (of course), screen issues, game card slot issues, and I also replace the case on one.

    Incredibly hot take but broken consoles and parts should be incredibly cheap to buy. But I mean completely broken, like not turning on at all. I think it's wild that you have to pay 100 bucks for a broken device that might not even work even after a long tiring repair.

    You've probably seen it all by now, but the state of some of these never cease to amaze me. What do people even DO with these things to get them like that? I had an OG Game Boy way back when and I took such good care of it, because I knew it was expensive and it was also just special to me. The expendability attitude that some of these devices seem to come from nowadays sickens me.

    The reassembly at 5:56 was so satisfying 🤤 That being said, I might recommend cutting a little earlier (but keeping the sound) so that it looks and sounds like the piece is assembled the moment it touches down. Great vids, love to see the editing keep improving!

    • @nessamillikan6247

    With the switch lites, a lot of them were reported with an issue of the sound, the one I have atleast has that issue, it still works and plays games and word just as good as a regular one but if you have the volume all the way up and the sound gets to loud it will crash the system, not sure if you were aware of this issue with the switch lites but in case you didn’t might be something you want to check too ! It happens to me as soon as the opening credits start in Pokémon sword, because the music in the stadium is so loud.

    It is a great video, but it does always worry me from an environmental perspective how many of these products with all their expensive and rare components could just be fixed. I mean, with one all that needed to be done was lift 1 little pin back into place, yet it was thrown away!

  • @drcyb3r
    @drcyb3r Před 2 lety +24

    9:50 You should also replace the thermal paste under the copper where you only put it on top. You can unclip the shield and replace it then. It is better for the thermals.

    Nice job. Always a pleasure to watch. As for putting back the screws, always rotate the screw counterclockwise first until it drops in so that the screw thread gets in the position with the thread from plastic. Otherwise you recut a new thread over the old one and stretching the plastic.

    I know it would have taken time to do but I would have given Switch Number 7 a new housing. Those bite marks makes the Switch look awful and on top of that you can never apply a proper screen protector without seeing the imperfections showing so long as the bite marks still remains. What I would do is revisit Switch Number 7 later on and change the shell,give it a replacement screen if needed and give it a Kickstand to protect the Micro SD Card. If I already didn't have a Switch I'd gladly pay for a Seller Refurbished price instead of paying for a Used and Abused price.

    God bless you for keeping old hardware working for others to enjoy in the future and keeping it out of landfill.

    DIdn't see a link for the Extremerate shell, didn't want to post the link in case you had an affiliate link or offer with them. For the price it looks super nice.
