    Hardware could not start the software

    Have you tried to unplug/remove everything from slots (game, sd card, controllers) and start console without everything? Looks like you have Mariko switch it's patched so i assume you don't have custom FW. Issue might be related to the hardware. Check charging USB-C port with magnification. May...

    Hardware Should Switch Lite fan always be on or not?

    Lite has Tegra X1 "Mariko" chip and they are very quiet and cold. If you can't feel excessive heat at the back of your console you are good. Fan kicks in only when switch is heating up. On mine i can't feel heat even after few hours of play and fan is barely spinning.

    Hardware Switch Repair advice needed.

    It's always different when you actually try to micro-solder urself, things are escalate too quickly, but you learn. About multimeter: it's hard to miss with Flukes something like 115, 117, 177, 179 will do the job, they are pricy but worth the money. You can get used one from eBay with 30-40%...

    Hardware Switch Repair advice needed.

    Love this guy! Subscribed on him since his first nintendo switch video. Exact path you will have to go thru if you never had micro-soldering experience and will repair it yourself. That is why you have to take it slow, and practice A LOT on cheap broken electronics before proceeding. If you...

    Hardware Switch Repair advice needed.

    Looks like it charges perfectly fine and you got battery fully charged, what is why charging IC dropped current completely. Before opening it up and trying to solve issues with "soldering iron" make sure it's not a fw issue. Few times i purchased broken switches from eBay which just needed a fix...

Later i found an information that Flir had faulty batch where over time from CPU heating pads were lifting due to board wrapping, so it was no-fix. But interesting fact is that thermal camera used there an...

    Checked both consoles under Thermal camera, only BQ area is heating up. With time CPU slowly heating, but those temps are normal. BQ temp is the same as in normal console when it's charging.

    Hardware Vconn input to M92T36 Explanation

    Just v been repairing switch with same issue, M92T36 also responsible for charger side switching. It's very easy to test: if you don't have TPD2E1B06 chip on the back side of the board, just check if any of red-circled pins are shorted to ground in this case half of M92T36 isn't working, due to...
