Has Basic Courtesy Become a Thing of the Past?
💬 A Note From Us
⏱ 3 min read
Over the last few years, I’ve noticed a growing change in the way some customers communicate with businesses.
People will call, text, or email asking for a price quote, advice, or help understanding a problem with their device. We take the time to answer their questions, research the issue when necessary, and provide the information they need—and then, quite often, complete silence.
- ✗ No “thank you for your time”
- ✗ No “thanks for getting back to me”
- ✗ Not even a quick acknowledgment that the message was received
Of course, I don’t expect everyone who contacts me to book a repair. That’s part of operating a business, and people are always free to compare prices or decide not to proceed. But when someone takes time out of their day to help you, a simple “thank you” costs absolutely nothing.
💭 A shift in how small businesses are treated
Lately, it sometimes feels as though small businesses and service providers are no longer viewed as people, but as an unlimited source of free information who are simply expected to respond immediately—and then be ignored once they’ve served their purpose.
A country known for politeness
To be honest, it can feel insulting and disrespectful. Canada has always been known as one of the politest countries in the world, but from what I’ve personally experienced, that basic courtesy seems to be slowly disappearing—and it appears to be getting worse.
This isn’t directed at the many wonderful customers who are appreciative and respectful. You truly make a difference, and your kindness never goes unnoticed. ❤️
We’d love to hear from you
I’m curious to hear from other business owners and service providers: Are you noticing the same thing with your customers and clientele, or do you think communication habits have simply changed?
🙏 Good Manners Are Free
Please remember to treat the people who help you with respect. One day, when you genuinely need their knowledge or services, they may no longer be willing—or available—to help if they are constantly treated as though their time has no value.
A simple “thank you” still goes a long way.

Nintendo Switch Blue Screen of Death Repair – Advanced CPU Reballing
🔧 CPU Reballing & Micro-Soldering
⏱ 4 min read
The Nintendo Switch Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) is one of the most alarming things a Switch owner can experience — the console powers on, but instead of the home screen, you’re greeted with a solid blue display and a dead system.
It’s a failure that most repair shops won’t touch. We brought this one back to life.
What causes the Nintendo Switch BSOD?
Unlike a simple software glitch, the Blue Screen of Death on a Nintendo Switch is almost always a hardware-level failure. The most common culprit is right at the heart of the board:
- ✓ Failing solder joints under the CPU – the most frequent cause; BGA balls crack or lose contact over time
- ✓ RAM failure – memory chips on the CPU package can degrade or fail outright
- ✓ eMMC storage corruption – failed NAND causing the system to panic on boot
- ✓ Power delivery issues – voltage irregularities starving the SoC during boot
- ✓ Physical damage or liquid intrusion – corrosion or impact damage affecting board-level components
⚠ Why most shops won’t attempt this repair
CPU reballing is one of the most technically demanding repairs in console electronics. It requires removing the CPU from the board, stripping old solder balls, applying a fresh BGA array, and reflowing it back with precise heat profiles — all under a microscope.
Without the right equipment and experience, it’s easy to destroy the board entirely. Most shops simply don’t have the capability — or they’ll swap parts without diagnosing the actual failure.
How we repaired this Switch
This console came in completely stuck on the blue screen — no logo, no boot, no response. Here’s exactly how we approached it:
- 1 Full board-level diagnostic – voltage rail checks, power draw analysis, and visual inspection under magnification
- 2 Root cause confirmed – failing BGA solder joints under the CPU identified as the source of the failure
- 3 CPU removal and reballing – chip carefully lifted, old solder removed, fresh BGA balls applied with precision stencil work
- 4 Professional reflow – CPU reinstalled using controlled reflow with calibrated heat profiles to ensure proper joint formation
- 5 Full testing before return – console booted, tested across multiple games, charging verified, all functions confirmed working
Can your Switch be saved?
Honestly? It depends on the underlying failure — but many Switches that other shops write off as “dead” are absolutely repairable with the right approach.
A blue screen doesn’t automatically mean the console is gone. It means the board needs a proper diagnosis — not a guess, not a part swap, and not a bill for nothing.
Our promise to you:
- ✓ We’ll give you an honest diagnostic — no runaround
- ✓ We’ll quote you a real price before any work begins
- ✓ We fix the root cause — not just the symptom
- ✓ If it can’t be repaired economically, we’ll tell you straight up
Why choose JS Information for Switch repair?
- ✓ True board-level micro-soldering capability – we work at the component level, not just swapping parts
- ✓ Professional BGA reballing equipment – hot air stations, reflow ovens, microscopes, and precision stencils
- ✓ 14+ years in electronics repair – experience that matters when the stakes are high
- ✓ Transparent pricing and realistic timelines – no surprises, no hidden fees
We’ve brought back Switches that other shops declared beyond repair. Board-level work is what we do — and CPU reballing is one of the most complex repairs we perform. When done right, the results speak for themselves.
