Nintendo Switch

When repairing damaged Nintendo Switch charging ports, it is common that the P13USB (audio video driver) as well as the M92T36 (charging power IC) may also have gotten damaged. Check for shorted capacitors around those components when changing out the charging port. If you find shorted caps, remove the chips to see if the short is still present. If short is still present after the chip it corresponds to is removed, you may have a CPU issue. It is also safe to check the fuse right above the charging port to ensure it's not blown. Plug a USB-C Ampmeter into the Switch to ensure it is pulling 15 volts after repair. 15 volts means the charging circuit is functioning properly. If no image still recheck P13USB. If still no image, check to ensure the Switch is not in RCM mode using Hetake. Note that autoRCM mode can cause the battery to drain to a point where it can no longer be charged by the Switch brick. If amperage from the charge port is not around .5 amps, try a new battery and check for RCM. If your Switch is stuck on a blue screen, this is traditionally failure of the eMMC but could also be ram or CPU related. A reflow sometimes works but the longevity of the repair is varying. Reball may be required.

This is a placeholder for the nintendo switch and the different iterations of the switch that is able to sit in the cradle to output video /audio Place holder being a term for someone who actually can find something nicer in formatting wise on

So subsections that we will need to have are -The Console itself and the seperate subsections that are involved in the actual unit itself -The Joycons and the seperate sensor / units you can get / parts that you can get that are slight upgrades to the joysticks / fix for joycon drift. -Replacement parts and cases / FAQ's on where to be careful with the actual screws / what size and kind of scews to replace those infernal nintendo brand with.

(note, will be repairing a pair of joycons later this afternoon so can supply pictures of the like and process.
