I won this in whatnot. I'm excited to get it soon!
@SomeDudeDan
Just a tip; you can buy toothbrushes with super thin bristles, it is really great for cleaning smaller cracks and crevices, like the ones around the screen on the Switch.
@ImPurum
Thanks for another relaxing video. Just for the info you can pull out pin from a joycon rail and there is a small pcb that can be gunky too. Had this problem on my own switch
@mk-wz2sh
10:22 to remove large amounts of thermal paste, it is much better to use an ordinary paper towel instead of wasting cotton swabs ;) but in both cases, you MUST clean the rest of the thermal paste with IPA (so as not to mix the remnants of the old paste with the new one later)
@skipio957
From cleaning things personally I've come to find out that if alcohol doesn't work away at a certain substance and you need to scrape it off then resort to either a lower % alcohol or some sort of cleaner or even just water. Sometimes, water can dissolve stuff that alcohol can't. Alcohol works great on adhesive, but works poorly against stuff like sugar. I'm just assuming you use 99% alcohol.
@ibrahimmardini7784
Awesome job! It's incredibly satisfying to watch and do this kind of work, and it's especially impressive when you're dealing with very small components
@Nugget-ik6be
Um hopefully you see this comment but at 2:52 do you know the name of that cord and little rectangle thing because it sort of cut and i need a replacement
@maxmushroomN64
2:34 antennae, i think
@bryandrobny7690
🤣 That paste looks like the glue from grade school 🤤

I just got a brand new switch oled, and it had the same issue. since it's a couple of days old, i don't think gunk would be a factor into this problem. It connects well with pro controllers and wire controllers, but it seems to have an issue with any joycon controllers with it either not working at times or disconnecting often.
@bryandrobny7690
😮 i would be sweating and shaking tearing that apart in fear of breaking it
@jennyf-eg5gl
You didn’t put the perfect amount of thermal paste, but it will do. 😅 Besides that, great video. I do worry about the makeup brushes because the hairs are known to fall out.
@kalicia84
Another great video! Did you say why you chose a different thermal paste this time or did i miss it?
@Kahli21
Man, I wonder what on earth that stuff was. It had to have been something like a weak liquid adhesive or a medium viscosity syrup or something. Or who knows, could be almost anything. What a nightmare! As a side tip, you could cut down one of the other makeup brushes (I assume you got a cheap set) so that it has short bristles, which can let you have more pressure like the cotton swabs. In the GameCube video at 4:20, the 2nd from the right might be good for this (or the 4th or 5th from the left).
@LizActually
7:09 I thought I was missing some of my makeup brushes! Jk 😉
@FirezHotshot
way to much of that paste
