Hi guys recently got nintendo switch from ebay. It was broken charging port and m92T. Replaced both. I was messing with it last night before sleeping. Battery was around %35-40. I turned off(I believe) woke up this morning checked it wasn't coming on. Plug into charger and charging icon top left corner comes and goes back repeatedly. Ended up unplugging battery and plug it back then It started to charging normally. I let it charge up to %100 then I unplugged charger it was around 3-4pm. When I checked back around 9pm battery was %52. i'm assuming it's bad/fake m92T. I got this m92T from ebay 10 for $50.

What you guys think? Photo belongs to old CP.

So I'm not sure if anyone else has any way to confirm this. But i work in a repair shop and see a LOT of phones and consoles. And with switches I've noticed if the m92 has gone bad it is also draining the battery and killing it this is likely do to chargers that aren't the original. Iphones do the same kind of thing when they get vcc main issues or Tristar issues, and they kill their batteries as well as the chip. Just last week I had to change a m92 and a battery in a switch because the m92 went bad, and the battery wouldn't come to life. Now before accepting that as truth, look around in these forums, there are plenty of posts about how to check your m92 and bq to make sure they are sending voltage correctly, same as the port.

I will say it is not entirely impossible that your m92 is faulty, but I wouldn't say it's fake, if it was you'd be having issues getting the switch to do anything.

i got same issue everytime I try to old battery ended up bad m92t again. So ended up replacing battery either. So you're saying that my battery maybe bad either. So let me try with brand new battery. If it's not draining fast then yes we could say bad m92t cause battery goes bad. But I've replaced couple another m92T why they didn't have problem with battery.
I'm also mostly doing iphone repair. I feel you. Other reason might be this guy left nintendo for a while after charging port went bad. So lithium ion batteries goes bad if you leave them less than %40-50 charged. I read this on apple's website. So you're right it might be battery.. i have new one let me try and I'll write results here.

    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?

    Ah it's all animated I was hoping for some live action
