This Switch Problem Is Way Too Common… No Power
I bought this Nintendo Switch Off eBay. It was not charging at all, and I assumed the fix would be easy. It definitely was not... I attempt to micro solder and well, if you watch the video you'll see how that goes!

He guru bro please can u gift me an i phone love from Pakistan
Dude accept his reguest youll get better
Can’t wait to take this journey with you!
As someone who's done some learning on these recently, your first attempt went SO much better than mine 😁 If you've been offered a chance to learn quicker, definitely take the chance pal. Looking forward to seeing some of this content 😎😎
Nice content Joey
@@rayyansheik Hey thanks :)
@@JoeyDoesTech NP
Yes you really should i am trying to learn how to micro solder butt self teaching is hard
Also you are one of the main reasons I got in the phone and conputer repair business
This is a first-generation model due to have the model number being HAC-001, the second-generation model has HAC-001(-001). You can tell by the back of the switch. Some of the key differences of the two is the second Gen model has batter battery life and better processing than the first Gen model (among a few other things)
Does it have better processing? I didn’t think it did. The better battery life would have been more than welcome for me tho. I got my switch on Christmas 2017 and the battery life is absolutely garbage and horrible. I know this because I brang it to school once to play mariokart 8 deluxe with my friends. Apart from that, I think the switch is a decent console, but I also don’t like the joy cons and find them very unreliable and they really can’t stand the test of time.
@@dill6598 No, it just has a more energy efficient processor.
@@badcatalex yeah that’s what I thought and I’m not sure about getting a new switch to be honest I think they are a little overrated especially if you plan to use the switch over a long period of time. I just don’t find them durable enough
@@dill6598 I have a Switch Lite and I have not had any real issues despite it being used and a hand-me-down at that. Only complaint is how expensive games are.
@@badcatalex yeah the games are super overpriced it’s kinda ridiculous that’s how they get you
I feel like I've been waiting for decades for your "micro soldering journey" :D Please do it!
Nintendo switch is garbage lmaooooooooooooo 😂
Do the micro soldering! It would be a great experience for you and additional skills as well. You will have tons of content when you master it. :)
He already did
Absolutely try micro soldering! I already find regular soldering fun, but I’d love to learn about micro soldering.
I’m glad that you knew when to stop. That’s a skill not a lot of people have. Id recommend taking chips off dead boards so you can get a feel for the heat and airspeed needed for your hot air station. Also a bent nozzle can help so you don’t have to go at it from an angle like that
Immediate issue at 1:20 DON'T use a USB-B to USB-C cable at 5v (normally max's out at approc 1-2.5A). Always use a PD USB-C to USB-C connection which should be approx 15v. The official Nintendo charger is set at 15v so always use that as a baseline
How did you know the problem in the first place?
@@Av65784 It's a known issue. Soon-ish after launch folks were having problems with switches not charging / powering on (like the one shown in the video), and folks eventually figured out it was due to 3rd party chargers / docks providing the wrong voltage and eventually frying the power management chip. It's probably what broke this exact switch.
@@LowPolyPigeon Only issue I had one and a half month after launch was the low on battery spam where the remaining battery percentage jumped somewhere from between 100 and 25 percent before going to 1 percent which took them to fix somewhere around Splatoon's 2 release day. Which I heard I wasn't the only one with that issue when they announced those AA battery pack accessory for joy cons before Arms release. Though I would say late buyers would be less aware of threads that were posted since launch against the ones posted much later. For example the hidden message in the Switch Pro Controller that got reposted later on by someone else. Then you have those Bluetooth issues some people have when their joy-con disconnects and like 2-3 months ago some person that some how wasn't aware of being able to get gold points from physical games.. Like how can someone who would check whether a game has an update or not at the +/- application menu of home not see it.
USB-A*
@@LowPolyPigeon Some issue with iphones people use cheap charger and it's short out parts on the mother board
Just caught this at the end but in case you didn’t see, those joycons are fake. The plus and minus buttons at the top look way different to the normal ones and the buttons on the left controller look weird too.
100%
The ebay seller probably replaced them if they were shitty joycons
Same I saw it and was looking for a comment about it
D-PAD buttons are weird aswell.
I’ve been watching u for a long time ur one of the best repair guys
Thank God for you and others that do what you do. The more I see videos like this, the more I'm reminded I don't ever want to do repairs again. 25+ years and I'm burned out. No more patience.
With how in depth you are getting with some of your repairs I think you should definitely take the micro solder guys help. It will make for new interesting video repairs plus you could expand what things you repair too. I really liked seeing a change up with a new device repair.
Take his offer it'll help you in the long run
I’m sure your boy is a great teacher for micro soldering but we would love to watch your journey figuring it out yourself.
I had the exact same problem with my switch years ago. It's interesting that you call it a common problem, because this was the only video I could find talking about it.
terrific upload Phone Repair Guru. I crushed that thumbs up on your video. Keep up the very good work.
You’re beat at your job! And knowing micro soldering would just add up to your skill set! So go for it! Would love to see you do it
You only have to remove the middle screws on the joy con rails
I’ve been watching your shorts a lot and haven’t really sat down and watched a whole video. Just got a new fav long form video creator
I appreciate that!
@@PhoneRepairGuru keep kicking dude!
Man I really like your videos and in every episode I learn more new stuff in advance,keep your amazing work going master
I have several videos detailing how to diagnose and fix it these switch boards. No power/not charging can be several issues.. its a great device to learn on. Take care bro! 😊
Don’t get down my friend. I started the same way doing board level repair about two years ago and by no means am I close to an expert. I still struggle every now and then but the important thing is to not give up. Look up NorthridgeFix and Louis Rossmann. They were invaluable for me to getting started. Don’t give up my friend…..remember, a journey of a 1,000 miles starts with a single step!!! Thanks for what you do!!!!
I love you videos!! Always just watched the shorts and boi, did i miss out!
Don’t feel bad. I too did something similar in hopes of repairing my switch. I tried to reball a micro chip on the flash memory and ended up destroying the whole board by mistake in the process. Had to order a new flash memory and hope I can figure out how to get my switch to boot back up without damaging it further. Beat myself up for days
couple questions, why is the screen so dim? have you tried turning the brightness up? also fyi those Joycons are fake and also how did you end up getting it to work? wasn't the problem the charging port not the chip that didn't do anything?
If you end up taking that masterclass you will be unstoppable
Nice video! i like what you are doing continue like that
Nice video! You are from the sound of things right about the same place that I am. Baby, I’m a hair behind you knowledge wise. I like to take stuff apart and fix it. I have zero experience with micro soldering, or even actual soldering for the most part. I may have picked up a soldering iron a couple of times, and I’m terrible at it. I do believe that you should take up someone on their offer to teach you Micro Center, as well as continuing to try to figure it out on your own at home, so long as it doesn’t cost you a bunch of money. Good luck to the both of us!
You just need to undo the middle screw on the joycon rail
That's what I was gonna say, at least I'm not the only one who knows
Shut up, he don't have any idea, pardon him.
@@mattclarenzmendoza7127 we weren't being mean about it, we were letting him know for next time
Nintendo switch is garbage lmaooooooooooooo 😂
top 5 words said by a 9 year old:
The only reason why this is common is because people used 3rd party chargers and docks with it that don't provide the correct charge that the official products provide (essentially what it is is product mishandling and not an issue caused by manufacturing)
Also they leave the console plugged and maybe there’s a power outage or a lightning.
How to fix it... i made that mistake, I connected my (working) Switch to a third-party dock and charger, and it suddenly turned off and won't turn back on. Can anyone help? Any tips?
No worries man, when I first started to fix broken nintendo switches I also mistakes, where it made it way more difficult to fix myself. Then I started to buy better equipment and learn from my mistakes as I go.
not only did I stumble across a Canadian chanel for tear downs and reviews. you used marnics. which is from my home town. cool 👍 new sub for sure
very nice fail video, good to see this kind of thing =) hope you learn and evolve into micro soldering
I have a nintendo switch lite and for some reason it feels like it charges faster when im playing on it then when im not any ideas why this would be happening?
@Covid_19king good point
This video helped me a lot, well done, thank you for sharing.
Yo, Love the content bro keep it up!
Its so sad to see awesome educational videos get fewer views than your normal ones just because "soldering" is in the title. Keep up the great content nevertheless!
I strongly agree with you mate. Investment is the key to sustaining our financial longevity, and not just any investment but an investment with guaranteed return.
To earn more you are required to have a multiple diversified stream of income, which is why investment is an avenue of making more money once it's profitable.
It's more wise and save that those intending to start crypto journey learn the trade withprofessionals who understand the market quite well, with that maximum profit is assured.
l also can be a profitable in trading all it will take is determation and mentoring even though you lose money you keep on trying
It's not that a professional don't lose trades they lose but when they gain they gain all they have lost and make more profits on top just like my account manager Mrs Stacy griffin kartner her strategies are profitable and her company is 100% trustworthy
Risk management Is a vital element of success for any trader in the Forex market no matter the size of your capital or investment particularly in highly volatile market like crypto currency. Learn how to manage risk to minimize losses. Am not a pro trader, but have been making huge profits investing and following the instructions of Stacy griffin kartner
One of your best video's so far! Love it
That's an amazing offer and an amazing opportunity you should without a doubt take him up on it as soon as you can. Good luck
I love the collab, I’m now subscribed!
In regards to the whole videos being your primary source of knowledge for microsoldering so far: my primary source of knowledge on building pcs, and fixing phones had been youtube and just the tiniest bit of ifixit(when I got hands on with my first phone) and y’know, it did me very well. Folk like you and jerryrigeverything have taught me alot and I couldn’t be more thankful, you’re a great guy. That being said yea I don’t think I can get into microsoldering from just youtube, I’d likely fail in the aspect of knowing how to diagnose the issues as well as being too fatfingered to be careful enough
I know this video is old, and I don’t know what happened succeeding, but like you should take that invitation if you haven’t already, I would be thrilled to have an opportunity like that myself
Your work is incredible
I really liked your premiere and I love your videos 😍
Subscribed for "I have no clue how to micro-solder, everything is me hoping for the best". I have been soldering for 10 years and I always feel that way
As someone who has never owned a switch, this video was very helpful.
this video was really fun to watch as someone who likes taking stuff apart
Nice attempt 👍🏻 big fan btw🤩
Man, that's a ton of games! Great Work!
Go and learn without a doubt, it’s the little nuggets of info you can get from a pro. that are priceless.
Do it!!! Learn all you can. Thank you for sharing
Awesome video!! Also yes take him up on the offer
Nice to see you working on things other than phones! Was probably a breath of fresh air for you?
I'd love to see your microsoldering journey!
i used to solder and desolder random crap on broken boards at least once everyday. you eventually get better and confident too
digging the music bro!
Do the Microsoldering journey please. Thank You. Love your videos.
Awe man I loved this video great stuff
Another long video!! I like these types of videos.
Man, I laughed so much when you sent the chip in orbit. That was golden.
5 years. That’s insane. I can’t even remember the day it came out…got it on seconds of the day release…. Now I have the LED version as well.
You should do the micro soldering it would save you a hassle and time. And by the way nice job on diagnosing the problem.
Should give a try on micro soldering it would make a good series
Thank you I'm inspired by how to micro solder.
@Phone Repair Guru only have to unscrew the middle side screw on both sides to get to the main board
What i did for mycrosoldering when i was started..it was to take locked boards or old phones that could turned on and i was taking off capacitors and stuff and resoldering them back to see if the board at least could turn on
2:21 you only needed to unscrew the middle one on the side pannel (the other 4 old the side bracket in place but the 1 middle one per side panel holds the back plate on)
If you want something golden for removing stripped screws get some ez grip liquid it has come in really handy for removing rusty stripped screws from aircraft
micro soldering content is actually really interesting to watch and id watch you try to do it more, take his offer
Nintendo switch is garbage lmaooooooooooooo 😂
I have an oled model, they are nice with the infinitely adjustable kickstand and bigger screen
I don't understand the technologies but I love it.
I know this is mad late but I’m trying to fix this switch for my coworker and it seems to be having the same issue do you know if I could just buy that part of the switch with it already on that piece to just take out the old and install that? Thanks for the video it helped me out and saved some time for sure!
The fact that you have that Staples easy button makes me proud!
Yes pls do microsoldering!! I want to see you fix more than phones.
Nice one buddy. We all started somewhere.
Always always find a Mentor guys I'm 36 and my electronic engineering mentor is 59 I met him 19 years ago and being under his wing is the best!!! I have learned so much from him and been into helping him build a invention that he came up with and he's helping me with mine!!
The very best way to learn is to find old/junk electronic either at your house or a thrift store take it apart and get some soldering equipment and practice removing and replacing parts if you damage anything it’s not a big deal because it’s not much money spent eventually you learn to do it very well
Thank u for the video.
Absolutely take them up on the offer!
Idk if you’ll see this but what was the hardest part about this the taking apart, the repairs, or the putting back together?
I couldn't tell you what it means but if you look it up the amount of voltage that it takes when plugged in can help you diagnose what's wrong
I loved how he slapped the easy button
What’s the best way to clean the blue mat off? I have one and it’s always dirty. 😖
lol yeah i was going to say if you don't plan on keeping the battery in there why not just connect it with the pigtail
You should do a mix - take the offer to help fill in the gaps in your knowledge, but leave enough things still to learn that you can do stuff by yourself
Marnics and you are incredible.
The kickstand is somewhat vital beacuse it protects the sd card and keeps dust out of the sd card slot
Definitely take the offer !
if your not Cristen what are you :) enyways i love your vids keep it going!
You meantioned "Iso" at 4:23, could you explain what that is and does it help with the removal of adhesive?
Love you man
Where did you get the little pot thing from that has the IPA in. I could really do with one of those with the thin needle like nozzle on the top
Do it! Take the training take the opportunity!! Seriously it’s a great opportunity to learn from someone experienced
This video made me smile
With all those knowledge you know about the inside of a device , you should have your own merchandise
definitely should do some upgrades to the switch that would be cool
What kind of symptoms would cause this particular part to go bad? My switch was frozen on a back-lit black screen caused presumably from the output disconnecting (I have it docked to my computer for streaming and general use.) After a hard reset since it was unresponsive, it no longer turns back on. I don't have a spare battery to test with and I'm not sure if the screen died or not since it was "glowing" before I restarted it.
I like the joicons in the miniature
Hey! Can you see if you can replace my Switch’s back plastic with the new OLED’s back plastic? The new kickstand is really handy, and I’ll need it!
Looks like it’s got Nand flash storage, makes sense given the size of the Switch
