Could you shed a bit of light on how the HDMI kit will be installed? The oled/touch/hdmi kit I ordered says that there are no shell modifications necessary and no soldering required. How's that possible?

[@urubarin3966]

@@LeBoomStudios thats a really good question. Ordered the same... still trying to figure out how they do it. Somehow access test points, replacing game card slot or headphone jack ... hmmmmmmm

[@LeBoomStudios]

@@urubarin3966 The headphone jack would be way too small, even for micro HDMI. The Gamecard slot would be a nice idea, since mine is modded anyway. So either that or the description is just copy+paste for all of the kits and a bit of actual soldering is needed. From what I've heard, the USB Type-C controller is the same as on the OG Switch, just wirhout the additional DP-Alt controller IC. As such, it should support video output and it should be possible to directly route the display output to the unused pins.

Mine arrived yesterday, was super simple to install… though the old screen was much harder to get out than I thought 😅 The screen looks fantastic in person though! And the colour match is great too, you’d never know until you turn it on that the screen isn’t the one that came with the system. It’s perfect! And now my Switch lite is the best portable little system!

Can I ask why is the touched used for . Do you need it at all or are some games or menus only workable with touch ?

[@DumbTacoMan]

@@droo3010 Mario maker 2 and Mario 3d world/bowsers fury are my main 2. Plus I would rather pay 10$ extra with a promo code to keep all the original features of the screen.

[@bomccullar2684]

​@droo3010 it's not necessary, more of a convenience. Switch games are able to be played in "Docked" mode on a television, with a controller, not by touching the screen. Which is actually what makes this so interesting... its simple. Do I really need a touch screen? I'll be very curious to see a touch screen tutorial as well before purchasing.

[@Joelwilldoit]

@@droo3010Touch screen is faster than buttons for menus and is very useful when you have broken buttons too. I wouldn’t buy an Oled screen for the Switch Lite if it doesn’t come with Touch functionality, but other people may.

Looks simple enough but you might want to touch on thermal paste in the next video - You didn't replace any between the heatshield and the copper pipe; seems like too much paste left the build when removing the old heatshield.

[@lieutent2654]

In all fairness, having repaired so many switch systems myself, you never really need to. The soc used in it is so lower power that it doesn't need much thermal paste. I've not ever replaced it except the first system I did and it's not been an issue. You'd only really need to do that if you were modding and overclocking.

[@inclinerd]

@@lieutent2654 for those who plan on opening up their consoles multiple times, would it be advisable to replace the thermal paste with a thermal pad for less mess? Or better to stick with the paste?

[@droo3010]

​@@lieutent2654 he put the plate direct down with zero paste between the backplate and heat pipe . Is it fine to not add anything at all ? I'm talking about the paste on top of the heat pipe that touches the back metal shell

[@GareWorks]

@@droo3010 No, always add paste. The stuff that goes between the top of the heat pipe and the metal shielding is more of a thermal putty, which is thicker.

[@GareWorks]

@@inclinerd I don't recommend a thermal pad. It may be possible to get the right size but I tried a thermal pad in place of the thermal putty on the top of the heat pipe, and the Switch Lite seemed to run hotter afterwards. Underneath the heat pipe and underneath the APU's shielding, you should definitely use thermal paste, as even a thin thermal pad will be too thick and could cause warping that could crack the PCB.

[@Swaytekk]

[@KaguyaH]

Ordered the non-touch. Should the thermal paste be replaced while it's open or is it fine to just leave it?

[@LeBoomStudios]

It's always a good idea to replaced it. The Tegra produces slightly less heat than a normal Computer CPU, so any decent CPU paste will suffice.

[@Fosho-c6j]

arctic mx 4 for is good and cheap like 7 bucks, 4g will give you way more applications than you'll ever need if you don't do this stuff much

[@browny99]

I did both, and didn’t notice a difference either way. If you just take the heatsink and shield off and put it aside without disturbing the paste it’s fine, but new thermal paste is like 2$ so I would just replace it.

[@MrTrixzzzz]

Always replace the paste when you break contact.

[@durrell246]

If it's not had a repasting done over the last few days, always stick on new paste to ensure you're getting good contact with the heatsink.

Personally I don't think it's worth sacrificing the touch screen capabilities for the sake of slightly darker blacks.

[@GreenLeefMusic]

looks like one of the upgrade kits is compatible with the stock digitizer too, and costs the same as the cheapest kit. (~$50USD). Alternatively there are touch capable versions that cost a bit more.

[@MangakasDream]

Thats pretty valid but i dont think ive ever really used the touch screen on my lite so i might be ok if i went for the swap

[@yusefazad1407]

Definitely gonna get this for my Hyrule edition

[@BenWillock]

I hope one day there's a Super 7 for original switch owners, I just don't feel confident enough to install a jailbreak kit in a Switch OLED, but a screen swap seems more safe.

[@mouse_cop]

What are your thoughts on the availability of this screen mod? I wondered if you had any info on the quantity available as well as whether or not you think Nintendo could strike their hands upon it. I know it’s not doing anything against them but they have been extremely forceful in being the only source for products that are even remotely related to Nintendo. Thanks for this tutorial! I’ve been waiting for so long to see it!

[@GreenLeefMusic]

I doubt Nintendo does anything considering how many third party peripherals, replacement shells, parts, and such are out there for the Switch but you never know I suppose 🤷

At the end of this video he says the next video is with Shell swap so it could be the mega kit

[@LT-hr8cf]

I love it, will order one for one of my switches. I also have a few questions: - for 30fps games, with the responsiveness of an oled screen, will you notice an increase in stutter, like much oled tv’s. - will the screens with touch come available in the future in more colors, like the standard. - is there a picture or video where to see how the black one looks from the mega kit.

[@Emiichoco]

[@Neeraj_san]

Will this OLED screen be compatible with a modded switch lite? Will it require further software tweaking to get running or will it work out of the box?

[@milesmilesmiles]

Liking and commenting for visibility. My guess is there isn't a compatibility issue. I would like confirmation from someone, though. I'll order it anyways and see if I can do it without causing any problems.

[@michaela831]

Don‘t know exactly where the mod chip is located. I don’t think, that the software makes an issue but propably spacewise

[@GareWorks]

Of course it will, and he's said so previously. There's nothing inherently preventing you from having both a modchip and OLED screen installed.

[@milesmilesmiles]

@@GareWorks awesome if true! Got a time stamp or tweet or something? That’d be sick to not have to worry about it. Guy who did my mod chip also said screen changes/mods likely won’t interfere with each other. But he also was speaking generally.

[@Neeraj_san]

@GareWorks that's good to hear, I second that too.

[@JampOSX]

Will you prepare one for the regular nintendo switch? The v1 and V2?

[@soragranda]

V1 and V2 don't have the X1+ so it might not have the hardware for it, dunno if it can be done without homebrew and more hardware... hope is possible though.

This looks fun for ppl like myself who like to tinker with tech. You could get a not as bright oled switch that can be docked for around the same price of buying this and a lite.(also did Taki say these screens don’t have touch?) The one for preorder seems like the one I’d wait to buy for the 1080p resolution not docked on any switch is very nice👌

[@ElEscolta]

@@droo3010 the touch version has the hdmi out?

[@hewe0157]

I don't know, if ther'll be a touch version, but if you want one today, you can delaminate the oled screen from the glass (with a very thin wire - around 0,04mm, heat and maybe some ipa), clean it, put loca on it and laminate it to the digitizer from the switch lite. Finicky, and you can damage the screen if you don't do it right, but you would have touch.

[@shrimp_p4rm]

Congrats on finally getting this to market. Kind of bummed the replacement shell is only packaged with the touch screen combo.

[@DannyTan6675]

I'm assuming you're going to go over the other model that will have not only touch, but also a 1080p output through the USB-C port?

[@dreadlord9257]

Have you considered making a little board for raspberry pi projects? I feel like oled screens that can work with the pi are difficult to find. This might broaden your customer base.

[@klaidasrunele]

I hope we see something similar on the next switch lite also

[@xephon3000]

Awesome kit! Just found out about it a few days ago and placed an order for the kit with touch. While I wait for it to arrive, I have a question. Is there a need to apply new thermal paste since it looked like a lot of it was stuck on the old backplate?

[@ryancalococci8389]

Does this mod affect battery life in any way? You would think the OLED screen would be more efficiient.

[@JdeAcuario]

[@rave2noon]

I’m confused between the standard kit and the standard kit that’s compatible with the stock digitizer. Does the compatible with stock digitizer one retain touchscreen capability? Or is that only possible by buying the Super5 OLED Touch?

[@xcruell]

Wow that looks cool! Is there something similar for the V1 aswell? I did a quick search but i only get forum posts where people ask if its worth to switch from the v1 to the oled model.

[@neverthere5689]

So your bezel options are black and white, but this one is grey? Just trying to understand options. This is fantastic!! I guess I’ll wait for touch OLED demo. I have a new transparent purple shell and I chose the black bezel touch screen (I’m going to switch out the white buttons and sticks with black ones)

[@miker13]

As I understand, this video shows the installation of the non-touch screen kit. So I think that while the bezel in this example remains stock, it isn't compatible with the upgrade.

[@michaela831]

Black and white are the current ones for touch. The bezel here is the „standard upgrade kit“ where the Pokémon metallic grey is available. This screen is made of glass but without touchscreen Here is another post from me about the colors On twitter he said he‘s trying to get the other colors for touch but black and white are the only one right now which show good quality. According to him you are also allowed to order black or white now and change your order afterwards

Would doing a full shell swap be easier or more difficult than just replacing the screen? I'm tempted to go all out and just reshell my system while I'm in there.

[@TakiUdon2]

The second version of this video is a shell swap. It is easier in that you do not have to worry about trying to use heat to remove your existing screen, but it takes a bit more time & and screw management. I like to do a shell swap at the same time unless I really want to keep the shell I currently have (almost never the case).
