Nintendo Switch Screen Replacement - LCD & Digitizer Replacement

[@cyruswilson9130]

Clarification: The LCD can sometimes stick to the digitizer so make sure that when you loosen the adhesive that you're on the right layer - I made the mistake of going around the corner on the wrong layer and destroying my digitizer cable, but this video was still an immense help, thank you!

I bought a broken switch off ebay, the inner shell was busted, couldnt hold screws, thanks to your videos and the with the right new parts i was able to to get it working like a brand new one...you are the best. Have a great day man

Hey I just wanted to drop in and personally say thank you, my son needed to replace his switch screen and we used your video, followed it step by step and everything worked like a charm. And not only did we have an awesome time doing it together, but now my 10 year old knows how to tear down a switch and put it back together on his own. I cant thank you enough man, but the least I can do is like, sub, and turn on notifications. Thanks again man, my kid is back to his cave now that his switch is working again.. probably won't even see him until next summer. lmao Stay safe bud.

I have replaced the screen on the iPhone 7, and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. With the 8 and later it got harder as they introduced adhesive for the waterproofing. But if working with adhesive doesn’t bother you, the iPhones are still very repairable.

[@ilikewatermelons494]

if the connectors are the same on the inside then yes it should be possible

[@soulmourne2698]

The oled screen doesn't fit in the normal switch housing, so if the conector is the same, and the board layout of the switch oled is the same it might be possible by changing all the housing for the oled housing, it would be cool, if the motherboard was exactly the same, i personally preffer lcds couse are more durable, a oled screen will last maybe 6-7 years, a lot of vita screens are dying nowadays due to being oled, i use consoles forever, i mean i'm still playing gameboy games in my gba sp, so i preffer durability rather than a bit better darks, if you don't compare them is not even notizable

[@Al_rock18]

For you guys who only have scratches on the side from cause of the dock you can do what I did by just putting a glass screen protector on it. It hides the scratches unless you are looking very closely at it but for the most part it looks good. Even with lighting, the scratches are hard to see

So I screwed up pretty bad. I have a first run Nintendo Switch that has seen some wear and tear. A couple months ago it started overheating in dock mode and the shell started falling apart. I ended up getting a new Switch for myself and my niece was thinking about buying one herself. I told her about the “damaged” one I had and she asked if she could just have it. I obliged but little to her knowledge I ordered some replacement parts from China including a new more powerful fan (according to the listing), new screws, and front and back Shells. After a few months I finally got the parts and I swapped everything out, everything looks and sounds great until the moment it comes to turn on the console and test it. There is no display on the LCD screen, the backlight turns on, the digitizer works, and the console Switches to TV mode when placed in the dock but there just seems to be a problem with displaying an image when in handheld mode. I think maybe I damaged the LCD with my heat gun during the tear down process or maybe one of the ribbons got damaged so I ordered another LCD screen to replace the current one. I just finished replacing it (carefully) but I’m still having the same problem. Any info you could provide on what could possibly be the issue and how I can get this fixed for my niece I would greatly appreciate it. She is a good kid and deserves a new console herself if I could actually find one but I want her to at least have a fully functional console. Thanks in advance -DadPlayingGames

[@j2o2e8y]

So I’m so confused, I have an original switch I was going to replace the digitizer on and when I got the glue off and the screen lifted the lcd came up and seemed like it was fused, are there switches with fused lcd-digitizers?

thank u soo much for the video , I like repairs videos , plz keep up

[@Tronicsfix]

You're welcome! Glad you like it.

[@AmbulanceOfDeath]

I found that using the iOpener kit with the suction cup made taking the screen off easy. Just place the suction cup on the opposite side of where the ribbon cable is and pull. Of course you have to be careful to not pull to hard for the sake of the ribbon cable. Make sure to warm the screen to loosen the adhesive, makes the job go smoother.

[@Tronicsfix]

That's a good way to do it

aligning the lcd 13:00 How do you know if it corectly done ? Im planing to shell swap my v1 the frame is bent and its anoying me.

[@travismarshall3089]

This helped a lot! Needed to replace a digitizer that had been severely clawed up by getting lodged down the side of a recliner. Removal was a breeze and everything seemed tip top shape! However, the digitizer has a GIGANTIC deadzone that takes up all but the outer edges of the screen. Bad digitizer? Bad board component? The ribbon cable and where it plugs into looks completely undamaged.

[@Tronicsfix]

Could be the digitizer itself, the ribbon cable or even the game card slot.

[@travismarshall3089]

@@Tronicsfix : Physical games and headphones work fine, but it still very well could be. I've yet to return it to my friend, but none of the games on this switch rely too much on the touch controls. The digitizer fits rather snug even without the use of accompanying double sided tape, so I left that out if my friend wants to try again it should be a rather simple swap out.

I know this is an older video, but I’m going to be attempting this tomorrow. Whenever I repair hardware, I always remove as little components as possible. So I was wondering, is it really necessary to remove the joycon rails to change the screen? The camera angle made it difficult to see where the ribbon cables were attached, so I can’t tell if they were really in the way.

[@donkboywtf5327]

this is late, but you 100% need to remove them

[@drecksbongert4367]

im not an expert on this topic but why does the plastic panel have a ribbon cabel? is this for the touch input or what purpose does it serve? my other question would be: shouldnt one be able to manufacture a glass panel with that ribbon cabel on it? then one could swap the plastic screen for a glass one to reduce scratches.

[@Tronicsfix]

The top plastic panel? That's called a digitizer and yes it's for touch input. I'm sure one would be able to manufacture one made of glass if one had a manufacturing facility. The tradeoff is that it would break way easier. Since this is a handheld I'm guessing Nintendo would rather make a console that is less likely to break.

Hey TronicsFix, I have a question. I'm having an issue with my Switch where the middle of the digitizer is bulging out (most noticeable on the bottom middle, but is still visible on the top), unlike how people say their right side is. I was wondering if there was any possible fix to that, or if I have to send it to Nintendo for repairs. I've tried pushing it down but it doesn't work and has only gotten worse over time. I do have an amFilm glass screen protector on it. Don't know if that affects anything or not. My theory is that the heat from the dock melted the adhesive holding the two pieces together.

If I want to do a front shell swap, would it be enough to remove the digitizer and screen, then undo the screws under the digitizer and remove all the insides in one piece? The official guide video goes through and disconnects all the parts one by one, then removes the front shell from the inner frame (the part with the hole that the lcd ribbon goes through). If the motherboard and other modules are connected to that inner frame, rather than the front shell, then it seems like it would be a lot faster and easier, as long as there's not something I don't know that would prevent that.

What to do when you replaced the digitizer and the touch screen does not respond in the middle of the screen? More people have this problem after replacing the digitizer or game card slot!! I have gone through 5 digitizers, only to find out that it has to do with the game card slot.... This is the most frustrating repair I have ever been through. The digitizer and game card slot seem tied from the factory, it seems to me that it is useless buying aftermarket digitizers or game card slots as this is a lottery of getting compatible parts. The question for me that remains is: HOW do you get a compatible digitizer and game card slot that actually fully work???

You don't have to unplug the LCD from the Switch if you are only replacing the plastic screen. I ended with some dust because I took it apart. Also, the screen I got was a white rare one, and it got a lot of straight scratches, made on the production line, so yeah, check these before putting them on, now I have to order another and repeat this.

[@Tronicsfix]

Yep, true. It's hard to find them without some scratches...even new.

[@hashimakenta3550]

Sry for asking but do hairdryer work as replacement for both of those tools? Heat gun n the pillow looking thing

[@ko_ffee]

How do you fix joycon scratches....? Don’t ask how that managed to happen...

[@Oween]

This worked perfectly for me, but the LCD doesn't properly show the screen. It sort of ghostly fades in and out and continues being black. What would you think that could be?

[@Blockistium]

This is horrifying to watch.

[@Tronicsfix]

Why?

[@mlgdorito-wj3kt]

TronicsFix its a horror for my switch

[@connoisseurofcookies2047]

TronicsFix LLC Maybe you should've spent some time talking about the thermal paste at 14:17 since some people may not have caught on it during the fast forward ;) That's my biggest gripe.

[@zefetlboblox]

This is giving me anxiety

[@runed0s86]

You say don't leave fingerprints, but you don't use gloves. You didn't talk about the thermal paste either.

[@Gallieg444]

Can you use the Y1.5 to do all the Y screw in the system? this came with my joycon analog replacements and I just want to be sure before I attempt replacement of my LCD. Thanks!

[@Koodoo2]

do you need to buy new adhesive and reapply it?

[@Tronicsfix]

If the old adhesive is still there and in good condition it can still work fine.

[@Koodoo2]

@@Tronicsfix Thank you :)

I’ve probably missed the link to this, but is there any link in the description of the video that leads to a good screen to actually replace it??

[@TW93AW]

Is it possible to replace the front face plate without taking apart the screen? My vent spokes are broken and looking to replace the whole frame

[@cammie0105]

You would have to buy an all new lcd and digitizer for the new face plate if you didn’t want to take apart the screen from the old face plate to transfer it over.

I got a video request if possible. The game just dance 2018/2019 uses the HD rumble and a feature called beat vibrations on the main songs. My question is for just dance 2018. I know it probably just goes up and down for each drum tap. I wanna see how drum rolls work for it. Do multiple of the metal things go up and down? You can actually feel the drum roll in boom boom and in the song new face. It's very cool on what they did with the switches hardware. And another thing I wanna see how it works is the Double Rumble feature on just dance 2018 example you can feel the small guitar when playing. It actually feels like the strings are really going like you're really playing it. How do the vibrations do stuff like this. If you don't have just dance 2018 I suggest you check it out. The beat vibrations are the best. Especially for the 2019 one. But I would love to see how the 2018 one works in action. If possible. Thanks.

[@hankp9313]

I have not taken one apart yet, are all the screws the same or so I have to watch out for different lengths, widths, and heads?

[@pennywise804]

Which switch LCD and screen would you buy from Amazon? I saw a few and reviews not great....Son broke his LCD and screen scratched so what to replace it. Didn't see a lot of options on Amazon or Ebay and curious on which is best.
