This Nintendo Switch Looked Like an Easy Fix - My final item in this eBay Repair Challenge is a Nintendo Switch that the seller says will not play games. I hoped this would be a straight-forward fix and all I would have to do was replace the game card slot but things did not work out as well as I was hoping. With a bit of persistence I'm hoping to get the Switch in good working condition and sold for a profit. eBay Repair Challenge Participants:

About This Video: In this video I deal with one of the annoying things we deal with when trying to repair electronics: faulty replacement parts. Having to replace the game card slot not once, not twice, but three times is a pain but at least I was able to get it working and ready to sell on eBay.
