A Viewer Donated 3 BROKEN Switch Lites - But Can I Fix Them?! One of my viewers sent me 3 broken Nintendo Switch Lites to see if I could fix them. We'll find some of the typical issues: liquid damage, a messed up charge port, and some of them won't turn on. How many can I get working again?

You have no idea how you inspire people to save electronics instead of turning them on e-waste. I'm all the way down here in Brazil and everytime I have the opportunity to at least try to save something, that's my goal. I fix it until it's too broken. I even tried to fix my own ps4, but then I discovered that the hdmi chip has to be replaced and that's out of my league. Keep up inspiring people, man!

always satisfying to see another console saved
-
I've heard that Valve is gonna remove the glue on the battery on the Steam Deck for easily replacement to match the new EU standards about batteries replacement. Hope Nintendo and others will follow (if they have the choice)

18:00 The screen is not done for. Two options there. 1. If the cable is long enough: Cut the corroded part off. Gently scrape the ribbon cable to expose the metal lines. Reconnect. 2. If the cable isn't long enough: Paint the traces with "metal nail polish". Scrape in between the metal lines to remove excess nail polish. Test for shorts. Reconnect. I've tried both with PS controllers and things like that and always worked.

I liked that fast forwarded part where all has been put together around the 13:30 mark. It really shows how much work gets into them. And as long as it is in moderation this can be a handy tool for possible future videos.
-
My kids are hard on electronics. 😅 Happy you could save two, Steve!
-
Love watching your stuff! Always makes me wanna open my stuff to take a look. And, some of the lite videos helped me fix my son’s switch.
-
I have started doing self repairs as a hobby thanks to you! Went crazy and bought a whole bunch of stuff! Thanks for the content my friend!
-
Im happy to see your videos bringing back to life the console you repair , what a satisfaction 😍❤️

Always appreciate your right to repair, even if they don't want you to. Keep up the great work, been following for years Steve.
-
It’s been quite a bit since the last switch repair video! Glad there is another one 👍
-
I'm consuming your videos like an addicted. They are so good and helpful. I managed to fix my PS1 because of your video fixing each playstation. Thanks :3
-
Excellent job. I've been following your channel for a long time and I know how difficult it is to work with game maintenance without good equipment for it. For the great content you have another subscriber. Greetings from Brazil.

Have to say I also love my ifixit tools, the only issue I have is I wish the bit marking was clearer, sometimes it's a little difficult finding the correct bit looking for the stamped mark in the foam
-
I always enjoy your videos, and this one is no exception. Thank you for the work you do and for sharing it with the community.
-
That's awesome you fixed two of them! I've got a few things I'd like to fix myself after watching your videos. Gonna have to pick up a soldering station and give it a whirl!
-
This was such a satisfying repair! Nice job Tronic.
-
14:12 good to see that you also use the natural steam moisture to clean surfaces 😂 I'm so loving this channel!!! Though I cant repair, I almost every day use that technique!!
-
Absolutely astonishing, if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have been able to fix my Xbox One, massive props thxs tons🤙🏽
