Selling on eBay Goes WRONG, Then Right!

- eBay is an amazing platform to buy and sell used and new products online. I fixed a Nintendo Switch, sold it on eBay, however it was broken after a few hours of play. Can we fix the mistake, and how did the buyer react?

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! 😉
From Nick (forgot to say that!)!!
You’re more than welcome pal! Again thankyou for being so understanding. It was a pleasure 😊
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.
Just curious, did you mean to end up with two Switches?
@@MobiusGT I am a firm believer of the glass protectors, They have saved my Switch screen from my Autistic son....
Cudos to you joey for making right. Nick is a champ aswell for his patience.
Yeah more credit to him for being so nice :) Genuinely a nice bloke!
There's something therapeutic about watching things be fixed. It's very good when both parties are polite and understanding to each other.
Thankyou :) I completely agree!
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!
Hah you’re welcome :) it’s perfectly normal and I have this issue almost every time, but it’s easily fixable :)
Bridges aren't a mistake, they are an inevitability. Not catching them and blowing up a chip, now that's a mistake
@@sugarbooty i learnt that the hardway by short circuiting my imac g3
@@OutrideMaro it happens, but usually you learn the first few times. Now blowing off an 0402 package right next to the chip into oblivion, that is when you learn to have a clean workspace or a donor board :D
It's good to see someone who stands behind their work. And look how well it turned out for everyone.
Thankyou Jon! :)
Sale went wrong but that was a nice buyer
Agreed!
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
Thankyou for watching :)
I wish all buyers on eBay were like Nick. Usually full of scammers now. Great fixes Joey. 👊
Thankyou :)
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.
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.
Thankyou I appreciate the comment :) I think we should try and save as many consoles as we can!
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
100% agree :)
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
I’m getting there slowly! Thanks for watching :)
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!
Excellent video and service !!
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.
Brilliant video Joey and perfect customer support. 👌
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.
Such an easy informative watch as always
Peace
when great sellers and great buyers meet on ebay, everyone ends up happy
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.
True Raggi!
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.
Thankyou! :) it’s gone back to Nick now, but charger looked fine :)
Another great fix! You're such a nice guy and I'm glad the customer was also nice. Great customer service!
I think it was the right thing to do :)
@@JoeyDoesTech 100% agree.
Lemons into lemonade. Great job on that one!
Thanks Bud :)
Great video, glad that this worked out so well.
you deserve allot more subs! you are so easy to listen too! Great video!
I really appreciate that! Thanks :)
Thanks for being on my recommended channels to watch, I usually love watching these tech repair videos! Definitely got a sub from me :)
Thankyou for watching! :)
That was really cool 🥰 it’s nice to see costumers acting so kindly
Very nicely done! 👍
Thanks pal :)
Awesome work, Nic is one lucky lad,
loved the video man, great work from both sides
Thanks :)
A lot of experience in this video. Thank you for sharing and keep the good work
Ah thanks Froz :)
6:06 "the strips down here are screwed" you mean the screws are stripped? 🤣
Excellent video Joey! When i saw the thumbnail thought someone had scammed you. Glad to see there are still plenty of good people around.
Thankyou buddy!! Yes I was very happy with this :)
Amazing job fixing and specially great work ethics. Gained +1 follower.
Thankyou and welcome!
Love watching your videos. Another great job. Nick shall be pleased.
Thankyou!
Nick certainly shall!
You forgot to mention that you used the _perfect_ amount of thermal paste.
I've always believed that positivity and being polite goes a long way, even in a negative situation, it can change that situation into a positive one
Completely agree!
8:38 thought that thing above the switch was a bullet for a second
Really kind of you to take care of his other swtich and his Joycons too. Made up a great video.
Thanks Leon :)
At the end everything was super, great repair!
Thankyou!
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.
Cool. First time watching your videos. Could you tell me what kind of gloves were you using?
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.
Your skills have definitely improved GG Joey!!!
Thankyou :)
This was fun to watch idk how to do anything like this but it was nice watching a professional
Thankyou! Think I’m far from professional but hopefully one day I’ll get there :)
@@JoeyDoesTech you got skills! That board looked brand new man.
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.
This is a great bit of feedback Eathen. I should have gone into that in a bit more detail, Thankyou.
Awesome Video Joe does tech
Thankyou
Sometimes things go wrong. Its all about how you handle it afterwords 😊
Exactly :)
6:08 The strips are screwed huh? Lol me on a daily!
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 🙄
Thankyou Malek! Yes the shoulders buttons and all others are working fine after the test :)
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.
Nick is lucky he's got a excellent tech.
I’m lucky nick was nice enough haha!
Next time you should replace the paste underneath the metal shroud as well. Perfect job tho 🙂
Nice video. Great Deal
Thanks :)
do you know how to fix a purple screen of death?
Nice video man
Thankyou :)
Why can't more people be like Nick.
True!
I know, what a guy 😉
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.
241 fixing video, legend Joey
great content i managed to fix a switch with m92 problem learning alot and a ps5 that had a hdmi problem paid 250 for it was it a good deal
Thankyou! And wow that’s a great deal :)
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.
You can try and recalibrate them in the settings, give that a go first :)
6:07 the strips are screwed indeed
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?
I think potentially either the M92T36 chip, or the BQ chip on the back of the board has gone :)
Wow that was a really good upload...I'd love to have you on side for things to send too lol
Thankyou :)
You can get a regular Switch on eBay for £120? I only have a Switch Lite and I'm in need of a regular one for Splatoon 3.
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?
Great shout. You know I didn’t even check it when I changed it to see why that error was caused, I really should have. Apologies!
@@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!
I really don't blame people who fix their own things because it's how we all started
Could you fix one of my joycons, the right joycon is drifting
my nintendo switch screen is literally broken its glitchy and repairs are too expensive so i gotta deal with it
i really wish i could afford to buy a switch im still on the 2ds with cfw :(
Selling. On. eBay. Goes. Wrong then. Right
Be cool to know the cost break down. But I am sure you hear that a bit and have your reasons.
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.
Me either, can't figure it out 😉
How do I get in contact with you to fix my switch???
What’s wrong with it? :)
@@JoeyDoesTech my son broke the the part that hold the joycon in the switch.
nice vid
Most of my run ins on eBay have actually been a pretty sweet experience! Nick was just a really nice person :)
Kind of disgusting how you managed selling a faulty product
I didn't know it was faulty at the time, but agree it's not good at all.
god the hair is killing me
In a good way or? :D
@@JoeyDoesTech nah just an OCD thing, have dogs myself, it's a struggle
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.
I bet the chip dies from static
Why’s that pal?
Great vid but very clickbaity title
What's the white circle on your mouth
first again
On fire Matt 👍
@@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.
Scammer
Who is?
@@MK8MasterJunjie The buyer
@@retrogamestudios6688 What makes you say that?
@@MK8MasterJunjie Sent it back with issues that weren't there prior to sending out.
@@retrogamestudios6688 Maybe they didn’t know.
Man ...I need some work done. I got 6 joy cons. And my gba SD shuts off randomly. I'd be happy to pay.....whats the ebay so I can contact u.....if ur OK with that, if not. Totally understandable
