“Restorish”
The stain and odor left behind by smoke is one of the most difficult things to remove. This Nintendo Switch was apparently in a house fire. While it was not burned, the smoke damage is real. Steve at TronicsFix took the first part of this project dealing with repairs, then handed it off to me…

Ozone, as mentioned, is good too, but costly and a bit dangerous.
Sooo, two things
Firstly I hope this helps you in the future but OZONE (O3) is amazing at removing odor… it is in essence what you did by putting it outside. As well as the sun helped a bit with some UV. However if you find your self looking to remove smells like electrical fire, tobacco smoke, animal smell, ozone generator works wonders.
Secondly, I definitely prefer the old filming as I agree with others quality is better.
Ha! Woeber’s makes vinegar? I love their mustard! Quality condiments and game cleaning substances!
Old setup is better, although I wouldn't have noticed if you haven't mentionned it at the end of the video
Any way to repair the finish on a controller? Or maybe replace it? Would over the counter matte or glossy finish work? If so any suggestions on spray?
I followed Steve's link and here i am . Let's see what you do then i guess 😁
I would try immersing the shell parts in plain peroxide and bathing that in UV light. if that doesn't do it, replace them.
There's a product called Plastix that is a mild polishing compound for restoring plastic headlight covers. I've used it with great success for removing stains and such from smooth plastic surfaces. It's not the best on textured plastic, but does still work. Normally you'd use some water for lubricant when you're polishing, but since you've got smells as well, I'd recommend using Sprayway automotive glass cleaner. It doesn't contain ammonia and it has a very pleasant (but not overwhelming) smell. Best of luck to you!
Smoke tends to chemically bond with plastic. Also, plastic will generate a negative charge, pulling smoke particles towards it.
Perhaps working with some kind of positive charge and maybe uv light?
directed from steve "tronicsfix" and i can say i like you man 🙂 no extened yapping like some tubers and you got stright into it and very simple explinatoins/what your doing 🙂 ,subcribed!!! (love the gloves btw 😀 )
Try salon care 40 it will probably get the stains out and the smell
Don't notice anything different from one camera to the other sorry.
Came from tronix and was not disappointed! Not just the satisfying feeling when parts being cleaned but also the educational piece in your videos when disassemble and assemble back the device! Great stuff!
Your old setup is a lot better
In my opinion: comparing times 3:25 vs. 10:30 I can clearly see a difference. The 10:30 not only more clear, the audio sounds better. I'm on Mobile but set the quality manually to make it consistent.
I would have loved to watch you replace the 6 parts mentioned and count while doing so. It seems like you took the effort to mention 6 parts but they weren't really mentioned after.
I think they was my first time watching you. Keep up the great work.
First time viewer. Liked and subscribed. Couldn’t even tell a difference between either camera setup but great job on the restoration of the switch sir.🙏😊✌️
Agree, the old setup looks sharper.
Where I used to work we had a fire in our server room, if you ever want to destroy electronics put it in an enclosed space with a burning lead acid battery 👍
You are correct about the "outdoors" helping de-odor plastic. The reason is ultraviolet rays. If you're a nonsmoker, but you notice a film that builds up on the inside of your windshield, that comes from ultraviolet rays hitting the glass and heating up then striking the plastic dashboard and causing an outgassing that rises and settles on the windshield. So, the outgassing takes some of the imbedded odors with it.
whoud a ozone generator in a container maby work?
Hydrogen peroxide is worth trying for removing smoke odours.
Stronger bleach is available "for emergencies" and it needs to be tested for colour fastness before use.
I thought the lack of clarity on a board piece with the "new" setup was because the smoke damage had blurred text but after getting to your request I went and compared. The BW100 spray vs the ovencleaner spray is a really good comparison benchmark I think and the old visibly was clearer I'd say.
I'm thinking for stained plastics, hydrogen peroxide bath with UV lights would be a good idea to try. Others have suggested Ozone to kill the smell, which is another good idea. Could be worth a shot!
I have an idea: Ozone!
