I Bought 23 BROKEN Nintendo Switches - Can I Fix Them and Make Money?

I Bought 23 BROKEN Nintendo Switches for $1,955 to Try and Fix Them AND Make Money! I thought I'd be able to fix almost all of these Switches...but I was wrong! I show how to fix lots of common issues like diagnosing and replacing the M92T36 charge chip, P13USB video chip, as well as liquid damage.

I'm trying to fix 23 Nintendo Switches. While I wasn't nearly as successful as with some of my other salvage lots of Switches I still was able to fix a number of them. I show how to fix most common issues with Switches.

[Tronicsfix]

Thanks for watching! Any questions on these repairs?

[linkinparkluver]

Me, knowing absolutely nothing about fixing electronics: Yes, this seems like an excellent video to watch.

[camreng]

Hearing you say that you wouldn’t feel comfortable selling sketchy repaired switches and shouting out your old apprentice makes me realize there is still good people out there

[jrzimm]

Imagine this dude being your dad, literally nothing in your house would be broken

[PeterRichardsandYoureNot]

An ethical tech repair/renew guy!!! That’s refreshing. The fact that you wouldn’t sell a liquid damaged board goes a long way to earning respect, bro. The number of people who would just take the bucks and look the other way is ridiculous.

Nobody:

Guy In Math Problem : I bought 23 broken switches

[SneakyTurtles]

I don’t really understand what he’s talking about, but this is still enjoyable

[mappd]

Him: You know what this means!

Me: *No, no I don’t*

[smoothdood]

You truly are an inspiration and you sure do your part helping to solve the modern waste managment problems. I've been doing way more over the last months thanks to YouTube creators like you!

[natsukikruger]

Pretty envious of anyone who can take apart something, fix it and put it back together.

[mzumno]

I’m too stupid for this and there’s zero need for me to watch this, but I love watching people who know what they’re doing. It’s satisfying

[alphastarteam]

"Even though I could fix it, I don't feel comfortable selling it"



Apple: I'll pretend I didn't see that.

[fallingfloor]

This is exactly why Apple and Microsoft wants to eliminate right to repair. They want you to send it back to them for them to make money. Heaven forbid the customer doesn't want to go through the hassle of shipping and wait 2 months for the manufacture to repair instead of just getting someone local to change a 20 dollar part

[Trial]

Me before this video: This could be interesting, I know nothing about fixing switches.

Me after this video: NOT A .46! YOU AINT FIXING THAT SON

[pantonec]

Straight up giving me massive anxiety over all the things that could cause my Switch to stop working.

[Trollseeder]

Some of those non-repairable switches were probably resold multiple times.

[soupy]

we totally take for granted the time he took to fix all of these. To take them apart and put it back in exact order is incredible.

[mickfitz]

At least you have a heap of parts from the unfixable ones. It's never a loss.

[bradleycasselman]

Note to self: Never place liquid of any kind anywhere near the Nintendo Switch.

[karlyjones]

me, a dumb teenager who knows nothing about fixing electronics: wow, that’s a lot of corrosion.
