    They Botched This Nintendo Switch Repair - Can I Fix It? One of my viewers had a repair "professional" try to fix this Switch (and he also tried to fix it himself) but it's still broken so he sent it to me. The problem is with getting the video chip solder pads to connect... and also repairing two torn circuit traces. Hopefully I'm up for the challenge.

    You are NOT a repair person you are a surgeon that has a heart, and that is why your channel does so well.
    I have watched you from almost your first video and commented (quite verbal I am, much to your chagrin I imagine) on most. Extraordinary talent on board level repairs, logic in fault chasing and just pretty knowledgeable all around sir.
    Board level repair on such small circuitry is beyond me, having done it in locomotives where the components are the size of grapes and the traces are 1/8 inch wide and 1/8 inch apart, I find the small boards require sufficient velocity to completely disassemble themselves on impact with a sufficiently hard surface.
    Love the vids, love the logic you employ, love that you have a huge heart and lastly love that you allow us to ride along with you during your repairs.

    I love how you like most of the comments... Making them feel like I see you and I appreciate you watching my video... I like how you have a passion about something and always take it as a challenge to fix something... The amazing thing is, whenever you take a repair case that has made you so confused and never got a solution as a challenge but eventually you manage to fix it... It never actually leave your mind and will always remain in your memory so it is worth the time that you invested in this case and actually give a big amount of experience and also hype you up to fix/solve another device... Great videos man I really enjoy it👍
