I am considering having an extra switch that I have repaired but I am avoiding it because I already had issues in the past when I needed technical support for other things. Nintendo support isn’t an option because they will replace it.
Could you share your experience when having services like these done here in Van and how everything went?
Thanks fellow lemmins!
Not really a huge upfront cost IMHO. The hot air and PCB hotplate are relatively inexpensive on Aliexpress.
The microscope could be expensive, but it’s not really necessary - they just have them because they’re youtubers creating content.
Could just use a magnifying glass with a pair of “helping hands” to hold things for a quick repair, or a jewler’s loupe set (my dad gave me a cheapo set for christmas which works fine). I’ve modded my own game consoles (never needed a repair), and modding was super-simple.
Eh, I have really good eyesight, I use a helping hand and magnifying glass, and while it works it’s not ideal. I occasionally do trace repair, so that may have something to do with it.
