    Hardware Only backlight but boots and image on TV

    Actually I found out that the shorted caps around the max77812 in fact look like they are but have low resistance to ground to begin with. About the Switch I still don't have any news, I had to leave it for now since I bought them in bulk and can't stay stuck too long on one. Have you tried...

    Hardware Curiosity question: what is the transparent component on the flip side ?

    Nevermind I'm an idiot, it's the light sensor and I doubt that would've been the cause... Who knows. Happy days.

    Hardware Curiosity question: what is the transparent component on the flip side ?

    Hello again ! Quick question, I fixed earlier a switch that would turn on and all but wouldn't fast charge. Turns out it was this little component that was broken off (no idea how). So now it works but I have no idea what I just changed...

    Hardware Fan not spinning, Joy-Cons not charging only while docked

    Maybe a dead coil responsible for the transformation from 15v to 5v ? To you have a diode left from the fan connector ? I just fixed a switch that didn't charge it's joycon thanks to changing that but it wasnt situational like yours...

    Hardware Fan not spinning, Joy-Cons not charging only while docked

    By default, I would've thought of the M92T36 that can't handle the 15V correctly (sorry I'm a bit approximate) Does the fan turn on when plugged in on a 5V charger ?

    Hardware What Makes A Switch Never Turn Back On And Why?

    Before anything else, I'd try a hard reset and if possible unplug replug the battery. If there was a power surge, what could've happened is either the fuse just over the type C blew (I'll be honest, I have never seen it blown) or, the classic culprit, the M92T36 chip got fed a voltage too high...

    Hardware M92t36 shorted cap. Where does this pad leads to?

    I found 40 of them, around 10 being behind the APU. The link is a pdf with the points I tested. I missed some on purpose because they were on the same trace but I couldn't check those under ICs. Last time I had a board with that cap shorted, it became a donor board. Good luck...

    Hardware Switch Battery Issue

    Hello @dqrx ! To me, it looks like a bad battery. As in not unusable but definitely not stock. This sometimes happen with knock-off iPhone batteries, it's written 1800mAh on it but in actuality it barely reaches 1500mAh. You get strange readings because the voltage is good when at full capacity...

    Hardware Only backlight but boots and image on TV

    Nothing notable unfortunately. Thanks for the tip though, I didn't know this could cause a black screen !

    Hardware Only backlight but boots and image on TV

    @severhead I have a spare known good LCD that I plugged in with a known good battery. But to no avail, it's like there's just no image data. @de9ed I just checked, diode is good, flow is from coil to cap and the cap doesn't short the diode. Coil looks good as well. The IC doesn't seem bad...

    Hardware Power button not working/missing resistor

    Hello Milkweed ! So I looked at my motherboard and checked, the smd is just under 1mm long so I think the correct size is 0402, look on Mouser for RC0402FR-13150RL and it should be close enough. What were the ones you bought ?

    Hardware Intermittent, consistent blackouts on Switch in docked mode, handheld works 100% (video inside)

    My bet is on the P13USB, although I'd also check if the board wasn't already repaired once and look for damaged filters or missing caps around the P13USB. In my opinion, the M92T36 isn't at fault. If it was, you'd have a error code 2101 or something when you start the console. Or it would...

    Hardware Only backlight but boots and image on TV

    Hello everyone ! So I'm having a bit of a problem with a HAC-CPU-20 It's a RMA with a broken type C connector that I bought in bulk along with other Switchs, changed the connector and the M92T36. Charges beautifully. The Switch turns on but without any image, only the backlight. So I changed...
