Amazing amazing man. Drove 2 hours into the shop on Saturday for a couple of things and the service was amazing truly blessed to have such amazing content. He even threw some free things into my order and a charger for my daughter's phone. Thank you again it was a pleasure meeting you !

i am to but not that shop
i've been a tech for 18 years and im always happy every time i fix something happy to see ur videos i can see ur exitement every repair
Our repair shop has benefited so much from your videos. You are the Master
I am re-organizing my workbench and just ordered some soldering tools from the store. Thanks for being an inspiration and sharing your work with us!
This is a skill that is no longer found in our society in large volumes. I also,have not seen a huge number of universities teaching electrical engineering.
But if you can apprentice with this guy, after a year or 2 you'd be as sharp as a razor.
I don't think ppl really realise the Master level of your work. Absolutely beautiful 🌹
Watching you work is quite relaxing after a long day.
Wow. I must say you are just amazing. Your repairing skills are top notch. Thank goodness you are in the US even more so in California as I reside here too if I need repairs done to my switch..
Great stuff! My eleven year old, I got him an OLED for Christmas and he already internally cracked the glass (display is still 100%) - you can't even get those displays AFAIK. Glad to see the insides of one.
The switch chassis is weak and partly relies on the screen for rigidity. Add to that the legs on the bottom corners but no support leg in the center is just a bad design that easily allows the unit to be bent and receive damaged.
You don't have a protective glasses on it ?
@@Jedda73 so more money for Nintendo, seems, voluntary ^^
@@Irilia_neko thats not going to matter for this
Want to sell it?
I love seeing the day to day running of the business, thank you for sharing.
"If the switch wanna play games,we can play games too!"
Ladies and gentleman ,we have a winning quote here.
One of the best repair channels work they do is so good love to watch every video that's posted
Masterful as always.
Watching how many re-repairs you have to do, its no wonder your shelves are stocked with things to fix.
Its your blessing and your curse!
Very good job! 😂 4:08 that look "bigboss not gonna heard it" a new northridgefix-meme.
It is interessting that they changed the shape of the usb-c connector on that oled-switch. Good to know for future jobs and your shop. Nice work and thanks for the video. Greets
I love learning new things. Thanks for the knowledge 👍
Your joy is our joy and most importantly, the customer's joy :O)
You are the best!! Greetings from Dominican Republic
Nice Alex.
Funny how surprised that you fix it.
U are the master my Friend😀😀😀
Thank you for sharing with us👍
that board holder looks really handy
I absolutely love your videos and have learned so much by watching your work. What I don’t understand is so often people send you items they had repaired at another shop. How are these shops in business? Do they not test the device before returning it to the customer? I know you can only speculate but it makes me wonder if a lot of these placed just don’t care about customer service like you clearly have demonstrated you do. Keep up the great work!
Usually the shop returns it to the customer and tells them that it’s a no-fix, and charges the customer the standard repair-attempt fee. Most shops aren’t particularly skilled, and so they are just going for the low-hanging fruit and fixing the easy ones. Anything not straightforward is a no-fix, and the customer still has to pay the repair attempt fee, so they can stay in business just fine.
@@mensaswede4028 I’m totally aware and don’t disagree. All I can say is that if one of my devices would up on his channel after another shop butchered it like that, it’s not a no-fix….it’s a shop trying to go outside of their expertise and doing more damage which costs the customer even more money to send it to competent technicians. But if there’s proof of the damage, horrible attempt that proves they don’t know what they’re doing, or damage clearly not caused by the customer or their issue….I’d be doing what I could for a refund from that shop and also make it know to others so they don’t fall victim to the same irresponsible repair attempts.
They dont have the experience he does. If it was easy you wouldn’t need him
Instead of resoldering the connector what about checking each pin+pad for continuity?
Big boss never lay 😡😂..great job like always 👍
Thanks for sharing, very interesting. Still have not gotten my hands on one.
Great video! Amaizing work 😄
Northridge fix (Alex)'s voice reminds me of Arnold Schwarzenegger: "BQ chip. Solid, solid, solid, solid, and solid". "Get to the choppa!"
Great! Master the blaster 😍
Great video and fix ones again. So weird that a brand new bq chip on the new oled switch is already shorting out. Keep up the great content Alex and offcourse Big boss was right 😉
Excellent repair! Amazing memory you have Alex keeping up with typical chip locations on so many make, models and variants of models!
Nice investigation. Nice job as well.
We all love the nintendo switch repairs, i always see it, during dinner time
Great job! Admittedly the charge port repair that was done prior to you having the switch definitely needing doing as the pins didn’t look straight and may not have been connected on the inner rail. I just wondered why you didn’t try looking for power on the 9v fuse, and shorts on the board before you did the port? Always trying to learn and progress my own repairs, so would be great to know! I need one of those board jigs too!!
The issue was "not charging" but as the previous repair shop supposedly had worked on the charged port the first thing to check is the previous attempt, to see if they really did a good job, before anything else. Assuming they did could have you work on any other component where the true issue would have been a non soldered pin. Not all repair shop do good work so you got to be a bit wary of rushed repairs.
My guess its one thing to have the basic voltage and an other if the charging communication is working. and since the "usb tester" did not showed any power draw the problem could be under the connector.
@@TheRedRave not all shops have the experience he does. A lot of these guys are much younger and have only been doing it half as long. You can’t really confuse inexperience with bad work, although the outcome is the same. How do you think Alex learned. I assure you, he personally ruined many devices in his early days. Any tech who says other wise is lying. Mistakes are the best experience.
Perhaps they tried the resin atomizer method to find a short ? (and then just left the mess)
Never had a doubt.
Another great video. Thanks Alex. Greetings to big boss as always.
Lol even he thought it won't work it feels even better when u fix something without thinking it would be fixed. 13:30 lol he was about to say still a black screen 😂 what a great man he gives his 100% in every single device we should give cridit for That man.
3:57 Big boss never lied.. 😂😂
Great job and video as always!
Did you record the values with the USB-C test board for future reference on these OLED Switches? Might be useful for assessing the ports in a pinch if you don't have spares.
Didnt bother checking if the pins were good beforehand on the usb c port. Why assume it was bad and only bother checking after you changed the port instead of saving time with the port that was already soldered? The pins looked fine to me on inspection.
The pads are physically under the connector. Unless one uses X-ray, there's no way to inspect them. Unless you are suggesting an electrical resistance measurement?
Good job mate !
Brilliant, impressive and well done.
people that clean up flux are always successful!!
Awesome job bro keep rocking bro 👍👍👍
Hello, when you use the iron and hot air to clean the solder, what temperature you use on iron and hot air?
i actually laughed out loud at the look over your shoulder to check if big boss was listening, even though i knew you was joking re lying.
If you don’t mind me asking do you recommend desk sized mats for soldering or would you get a normal mat? Thanks
Use what makes the work area comfortable for you. I personally use a one that's about 20"x40"
I remember when I was in jewery shop we used this type of Grey linoleom, polymer type mat that I'd imagine is pretty cheap if it's my school that bought it. They come in rolls and you just cut them to size. They're good for this type of work and protects whatever surface it's on.
Solid, Solid, Solid, Solid, Solid, Solid, Solid, Solid, and solid
Better than factory! 😊
good job mate.
Question all those fumes from the soder do you have an air purifier with you don't want you getting sick may dude take care of your self and amazing work you do I'm also from the San Fernando valley take care
What about the short? You didn't fix it. Wouldn't that cause any further issues??
Assalamu alaikum rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu...... Good to see u after a long time sir... 😂😂☝️👍
Solid!
Top KEK!
“In case big boss is lying to us”. Getting a bit brave there I think. 😂😂😂
Good work 👍😁
Hi.. i am new to channel and I enjoy a lot watching your videos... I have a question, why do you use diode mode to check continuity? Why not directly continuity mode. And why did you check resistance of the capacitor ?
5:28 ur holding the wick,soldering iron and hot air solder at the same time..lol how do you even do that??
How much are you looking at too put a wire back into the header connector on ps5 fan? I'm taking mine in tomorrow too get fixed, rough idea I'm in UK so it's in £
I'm trying to get the BQ chip off my son's oled board but I can not get the solder to flow. I don't know what I'm doing. I've tried 3 different types of flux and I just can't get it to go. I tried to use some new solder to get the old stuff to flow but I'm pretty sure I just made some bridges on the resistors on one of the sides. I'm going to have to go in with a wick once I get it off.
so, what tests can we do to confirm a faulty chip? did you find out?
I do enjoy watching you solder :) I recently had a bit of a bargain, I found a spares or repair auction on ebay for a Switch winning it with a £17 bid, got it here and it worked straight out the box, abs pleased as punch with the device but am very cautious as they seem to be made out of glass and very fragile to my thinking.
Superb 🙌🏻
I think it comes down to pride in you work, the previous repair shop leaving flux all over the board just looks awful, lack of pride. Nice repair Alex well done.
When it’s a no fix you really don’t care to leave it spotless. 😆 Not to be an A but did you see that charging port? He still has something cool to learn when soldering around plastic.
Was the board cleaned of the old flux before giving to Big Boss?
Was that a new chip or the original replaced ?.
can you share recommended tools to use for repair.
Hello Great job as always thanks for the video... Also Have you tried the laser solder station from Rewa ... It looks like from there promo video No more problems with melting plastic connector and parts... Im going to order one soon.
I answered this before. I haven't tried it, but based on first impression, I hate the blinding red light it emits. I don't know if you can hold it or have control on how far or close you can be from the board. or if you can narrow down the heat spot rather then burn half the board to de-solder one component. With hot air you can increase air speed and reflow a BGA chip using air pressure and see the chip move, with laser that's not possible. Again i haven't tried the machine, but that's what I concluded based on few videos I watched.
Does he get all the replacing chips from other dead boards or how? I seen tons of his videos and he always seems to have all kinds of chips available.
He orders a ton of them and also has many donor boards.
@@RolandKoller90 so can you use regular switch chips donor to the new oled switch?
Want to see live repair alex.?
a live repair would be realy cool
I fixed one already from wifi/Bluetooth module, i got the new type C charger port for them they are different, more short from behind :)
Do you recycle “de soldering wick “, if yes ?, how ?, please do let us know. Tq 😁👍
in the new port can you see the back pins???
As always you rock. I extremely enjoy your videos and troubleshooting expertise. Keep up the good work my friend.
Mashallah, Good job habibi!
I do not understand what fixed it. Did the port and the chip simply need to be reseated?
What's the cost to fix a Mercedes key? The coil works but the buttons don't unlock anymore.
hello how do you repair a very tiny broken traces on motherboard they are all next to each other
another great video alex..
5:00 "If the switch wants to play games...." Well yeah. That's what it's designed to do.
You should really avoid plastics being hit with high airflow unless you want to destroy them. They can take pretty high temperature but the airflow is what screws them up. Think about removing underfill or overfill, it comes off so easy with high airflow, higher temperatures doesn’t help to remove it. Consider it a basic rule for most polymers. Hope you try it. In other words I mean so little airflow you are slowly baking almost like ur hotair is a conventional oven. That way you can use higher temperatures than you would expect. Trying a nozzle the size of the port, really low airflow, but high temperature will change your life soldering ports.
Just curious, any speculation on why did the chip gone faulty?
Quick question, what is that long component above the fuse above the charging port? it looks like one side is burned open and the other side isnt. Is that normal?
If BQ chip is the same, reading should be the same also, even in a new device. I thought you were gonna measure the caps after changing bq chip just for reference.
maybe he measure it off the cam, but I'm curious also
great job!
do you think a reflow on the chip would work?
Our dear soldering hero strikes again, and saves the life of yet another Nintendo Switch.
dude your vids rock ....✨✨🎶🎶need tons more on anything you fix just because you're the man 👨🦱👴 an the old man is da best a real pleasure to watch perfection an learn please make more vids lol i am addicted 🎞🎞♠♠📽📽📽📽📽📽📽📽📽📽
Top man Alex
Poor Big Boss. Lots of leg pulling while you do the fun bit, LOL.
Great job
Is it possible to ultrasonic clean motherboards?
Lol even at his age he still look over to see if big boss was hearing
Can you use Bq chip from regular switch board? to new oled switch
The BQ chip on the board looked different than the one you installed. Is that normal for those chips to be labeled differently?
The new one had a big "BQ" stamped on it for some reason, but the actual chip labeling was the same (for the part number; date codes vary).
That kind of flux i think is an amtech knockoff it is pretty common in asia
nice, but wat was the problem? 🤔
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
So what fixed it in the end? Desolder and resolver the same chip?
Sure you didn’t put the usb cable on different ways - one way works. the other doesn’t?
It was a different BQ chip that he put on.
Replaced the chip. USB-C is reversable. The key signals appear on the same pins when reversed, as indicated in this graphic.

hey man I'm not sure if you'll see this but my original nintendo switch isn't turning on and has no charging indicator and none of the button pressing fixes work I took it apart and was wo during how to tell if the battery is good or not? it has 4volts and zero amps but I'm not really sure if that's good or bad. hopefully bad so I can just replace it.
nice job.
