I Paid $1,815 for 20 Broken Nintendo Switches - Let's Make Some Money!

I bought 20 more Nintendo Switches for a total of $1,815 to see how many I can fix and if I can make a profit. In this video I'll show you how I diagnose and repair 5 of them with a variety of issues such as: liquid damage, a bad battery, a damaged video chip, and a backlight ribbon cable problem. But this is just part 1 of the series so be sure to check back for the next one.

I don't even own a switch nor do I even know jackshit about circuits... Yet here I am watching this video.

[IndirectConnect]

I am a farmer in rural Montana where I tend to my sheep and corn fields, how did I windup watching a man repair a switch

[shyammalasani]

Him: “everybody was gonna notice I didn’t plug in the speakers”

Me: yeaaaa riiiiggg

[dappitydingdong]

**beep** "there is a short"

**beep that sounds the same** "and now it's gone"

[wimwiddershins]

Note to self. Maximum safe stacking height of Nintendo Switches = less than 18.

[davidmoll]

Imagine buying a broken switch and its completly fine. I want your luck

[pawncakesNrofls]

never held a switch, never played one, don't know anything about it. I'll never fix one, let alone encounter a broken one.. just kind of stuck watching this guy being a switch surgeon for no real reason.

[kumchi]

I feel like most of the people watching this video have no clue what he's talking about... and i'm one of them.

[comdrive]

"Corrosion here here and here"
Me: Am I blind?

[manbat]

Youtube algorithm recommended this but I don't even own a Switch. Watched it anyway.

[Champinoir]

So... my work is actually to repair Nintenthings for the big N, and i can tell you that when something doesn't work like a PCB, a rail or a speaker, we don't bother cleaning or searching why it doesn't work, we just replace it with a new one.
and i can't tell you how amazed i am with all the knowledge you've got on PCB and stuff, because it is my actual job and i don't think any of my co-workers have 1/10 of that knowledge...
Brilliant video btw, it's my first one and won't be my last, +1 sub !

[lksubscriptions]

he's like a dentist for electronics

[simonb]

hey that looks easy, i could do this.
Opens toaster*
Nope, i can't.

[RossAlexanderSmith]

Would have been better if this video was titled: Switches Get Stitches

[Voyami]

I died inside when the switch stacks fell

[MrDeathCell]

Professional: don't do this *then proceed to to this*
me: ...

[Astraeus..]

Great, now I'm going to have to buy a precision electric screwdriver that I didn't know existed but suddenly feel like it's a big problem that I don't have one :/

[matthiasice]

I'm surprised he still has those switches stacked up like that after almost dropping them all

[sockpuppett]

Switch: * is broken *
This guy : so you have chosen life

[chhhyeahh]

07:13 "DONT FORGET THE SPEAKERS" I don't think anyone watching would have caught that
