to folks watching this:
this guy made an amazing video, i followed it to the tee and everything worked well. some things to note:
1) let the alcohol soak in longer to weaken the glue. I didn't and only part of the adhesive came off
2) buy extra screws if you can! some will go missing, others will wear off
3) wipe the inside of your glass screen BEFORE putting on the LCD
4) check the buttons before u attach everything. sometimes you might miss a screw or the magnet might be out of position
5) thermal paste - do not put too much! spreading too much will worsen the heat transfer, and many folks have said that the LCD problem is due to heating issues. when i opened my own switch the thermal paste was like clay XD
6) ventilate your switch from now on- no more fancy cases without air gaps
LASTLY, THANK YOU DUDE!!!!!
You are welcome :)
Top comment right here. Btw did you use 98% IPA or 75 is good enough?
99% IPA. 75% is fine.
Thanks for the guide broseff! Got it done in an hour 👍
Great tutorial! Some of those ribbon cables are so little and tricky to maneuver back into place, even when using a tweezers!
you always upload the most helpful vids, bless you dude and have a merry christmas
merry Christmas 😊
Always clean job brother thx
We love you sthetix!
Thanks for the video!
Did you apply any adhesive before assembling the new lcd?
no i didnt because the existing glue is intact.
Thanks for the tutorial. I recently came into possession a switch lite that was not taken good care of, and I will need to replace the scratched up screen. Glad to know it’s not that hard to replace.
Goodluck.
Going to use this to fix my boys' switch! Thank you
I have watched most of your videos. So informative! They have helped me to do many repairs and mods. Thank you :)
u r welcome
Lol U r near to 100k now 0_o i remember when u had like 15k subs. Congrats bro
thanks a lot
Thank you very much. It took me 3 hours to replace the screen. By following your video
Great job!
0:31 same problem about shadowing but with alot of thin vertical black lines blocking the screen. I can tell that the only way is replacing the whole LCD will solve that issue.
I literally just bought a broken switch lite on Facebook. Thanks lol
How'd it go? just got one for 80$ cad, gonna reinvest another like 50$ or near that and either keep or resell for profit :)
Great tutorial fix mine right after I receive my new LCD. Thank you.
Glad it helped
This was very helpful!..
You are literally a life saver 😩
You mean lite saver
Ah, you have Shin Megami Tensei V and Monster Hunter. I see you are a lad of culture as well.
Do you use glue or anything?
Or the screen cords have ports?
I just dropped my switch lite and the screen popped off and that little cord thankfully just got Disconnected so I wanna take it apart and reconnect it!.
And yo thanks for the video!!
i didn't glue it. the glue is intact on the plastic frame
I have the same issue above, my Nintendo switch lite had a broken LCD 🥲, want to fix it but i haven't a proper tool kit to do it, but thank tho for the tutorial will do it soon after i buy the replacing kit
this just now happen to mines while playing a game, hints why im here
It's around $80 to replace the lcd here. Thank you for this tutorial
.
May I ask if the replacement you had here has a lcd digitizer too? Or is it a separate item?
it is only the LCD, digitizer is separated from the LCD, it is another component
@@sthetixofficialhi my switch lite became blurred on the lcd and i want to replace it. What should I buy? Just the lcd or this digitizer? Sorry I'm on this repair stuffs.
The LCD of course.
I love this channel, when do you have PS4 9.00 USB hybrid firm?
i havent tried it. maybe someday 😁.. i am not too interested in ps4 cracking hehe
I just sent mine back to Nintendo and they did that for £60. Looked a lot of hassle that and after buying the new screen, glue, screwdrivers etc probably don’t save that much.
Woop, first! Love your vids :D Thanks!
Still wish the switch lites screen streches out more to the edges like they did with the oled. Loves its one peice but i think they could least made the screen a tad larger . Hopefully next switch lite or new switch console does this like they did with oled.
The power connector that connects the battery to the board... just a word of caution... mine snapped attempting to pry the connector off gently.
Thanks for the vid I actually just needed to know what ribbon cable linked to the screen because my brothers had almost fully slid out of the socket causing black screen
you can buy the ribbon cable on aliexpress
thanks dude, i bought one with a smashed screen for $80 and was afraid nintendo made it super difficult to change the screen like some phone companies do
I’m seeing one on marketplace for 50$
Do you think its possible to fix it?
I love you & i love everything you do 😆
Thank you so much for making these videos & thank you for keep doing these HATS packs, thank you very much
And i also like your taste i music 🎶😍
Thank you
Great job!
Great tutorial, but I broke my switch lite when attempting it… now I can use it for spares I guess…
Lol
bruh
how did it break?
what happened?
I am going to attempt to fix this myself
My switch lite worked real well and it was second hand it just messed up cuz something heavy fell on the screen n broke it but the system itself is still fully functional
It happened to me on my lite again yesterday.....and i just changed the screen 6 months ago. Wondering whether i should just give up on the switch and buy a steam deck
My Yellow one just did this thid afternoom. Thinkiny if I should auction it for an extra buck to get oled or replace it myself.. hmmmm
Gonna order a new part for my gf's switch and see about getting this done when I'm in the office. Would you encourage me to redo the thermal paste while I'm at it as we break the original bonding?
Yes you need to apply a new thermalpaste
Hi, any suggestions of how to remove the four screws from the back. Using a 00 precision screwdriver and they just won’t budge!
use the Triwing 00 screwdriver from ifixit
I thought i can fix it by myself, until i watched it 😂
This was SUPER helpful. Thank you so much for putting this out.
You are welcome.
I took great care of my life and used it up towards its purpose being a portable console. So my screen doesn’t have one scratch or crack but I’ve some what notice that the screen is bright and the quality isn’t really that gewd so my main concern is if I replace the screen with the graphics, quality, not pixels or smeared colors ? (Is a new screen any different from the original screen?)
new screen == the same as the original screen because the replacement screen is the original one. FYI there is no third party replacement screen
I just need to replace the plastic screen on top, not the whole lcd screen, is there a video on that?
What kind of screwdriver and tools are you using?
ifixit ph00 and y00
I just replaced mine a week ago and the brand new screen have this problem again ughhh 😢
New subby here ☺️ Thank you for this informative video. I plan to replace my sons switch screen this weekend 😅 wish me luck guys
Is the screen replacement the same for the Nintendo switch lite and the normal one ? On Amazon I seem to find screens only for the normal Nintendo switch
no, it is different.
When I tried to transfer a good LCD to a good front shell with a heat gun the LCD seperated into two pieces. Live and learn I guess.
Any idea why is mine only showing blank screen after replacing? The screen lights up though but only blank screen
Blank means something else like bad lcd chip, bad lcd connector, etc
mine is getting the same issue ... all of a sudden. looks like the reliability of switch is way down
Quick question, is there a guide to repair the function of Amiibos on a nintendo switch lite? for some reason my switch lite, does not read the amiibos. but my other switch does. so it must be the switch lite.
maybe you need to repair the nfc chip? try asking the community at the tronicfixforum
Sory what a gel? To replace lcd or water?
Is there such a thing as an oled screen replacement for the lite?
no, there is nothing like that
what's type of glue he use?
What is the grey paste used here?? And was is isopropyl alcohol used to clean the parts in the assembly??
it is a thermal paste
ipa 99 percent
I have a problem with my switch idk what it is but the screen is just black and I can still hear everything but I can’t see anything anyone have that problem idk what it is
How is the screen now?
Bro un tornillo de la parte del joistick se barrio y no lo puedo quitar alguien que me diga como quitaron 😿
As a teenager trying to fix his own stuff.... how do i get like half the things needed
Merry xmas and a happy new year sthetix
happy xmas too my friend.
Question, are all screws on the inside the same? Because of so, I can just put all screws in the same tray and that's it.
inside not the same.. there are yellow ones, long silver one, some short and shorter ones
@@sthetixofficial good to know. Thanks!
Will there be any difference if I use 70% isopropyl alcohol to remove the lcd screen?
I only use 99 percent ipa. So I have no experience with 70 percent version
This little handheld console is riddled with hardware problems one after another.
Not rly
@@CarpetBananaYou can literally bend the switch lite with your bare hands
I've been having problems with my Nintendo switch lite randomly switching to other apps without notice and it kept doing that so it caused me to completely destroy the screen.
@@steveboone1498 can i have it
@@mrmarr8308 no, not at all.
For the thermal paste, can I use something that is used for computers?
Thermal paste is thermal paste.
@@jerminator0688 yea well some are conductive
What is the name of the liquid to peel off the screen? Any other method to peel it off?
IPA -= isopropyl alcohol
Thanks ❤
my black panel has some scratches, will it affect the screen replacement??
It will not. However, you will still see the scratches after replacing the LCD.
Do not to use alcohol unless absolutely 100% necessary on anything with an LCD. You will get alcohol in the backlight diffuser. Nintendo clearly states not to use isopropyl alcohol on their site as it does worse than good on a switch, it damages the plastic and the screen.
It is fine. i've used it many times. Do not use Thinner (not alcohol)
@@sthetixofficial no it's not I just destroyed 2 screens until finally finding out its the IPA rinning into the screen. the picture will look milky where IPA got into the screen. your procedure is fine if replacing a broken LCD but if you aim to take out a working LCD never ever inject IPA like in this video.
Hey I have some stupid question.. is it possible to replace switch lite LCD to OLED screen?
not possible
What's the difference between digitizer and lcd replacement. Sorry just using a shopping app and this option keeps popping up
Digitizer is the touch screen panel, while the LCD is the display panel.
@@sthetixofficial so in my case I should both the digitizer and lcd?
Do the screen not get back to blurry? I heard that some owners of switch lite got LCD blurry again after replacement? I plan to replace mine too but if the problem get back then it is pointless
it does not, but the error could re-occur someday
Any update after replacing the screen. Does the promblem screen lining occur??
it does, and it depends on your screen quality too
My switch is not turning on after lcd replacement. I don't know if it's a defective lcd or a lose/broken ribbon cable. Do the ribbon cable pins break easily when pushing it too far?
try to get a new LCD screen.
@@sthetixofficial I tried the old lcd and it's not working as well. (It works before the replacement)
What kind of thermal paste ur using and what chemical u use to wash the thermal paste?
I use hw510 for the thermalpaste and relife rl 1000 as a solution to clean the paste
@@sthetixofficial can u use isopropyl alcohol 90% to remove paste residue?
Try it. I always use 99 percent
What about broken pixels?? I accidentally broke the lcd and it now creates a infinite mirror from the damage point. Any way how to fix?
U need to replace the lcd
Hi sir. My screen has vertical lines on it. Is there a way to fix it without replacing lcd?
No. U can't
. U need to replace the lcd
I hoped that I would be able to follow but I'm sure I will mess up
Wish you were in South Africa, there are literally no repair stores here 😢
No one there?
@@sthetixofficial I found one after a lot of searching but I'm not joking when I say there are literally three, and each is in a dffferent province haha.
Hey there i got the same issue broken screen with lines on text cant read the message can i know what is the main reason about it
it just happened. i think the LCD is bad.
can be caused by too much heat to the device, please take care of your console!
i hate how expensive they are because it is so easy to build one with just some spare parts you could easily make one
I just completed the replacement, but after initially working, the digitizer stopped working completely. Apparently, the Switch recognizes a non-OEM digitizer? People have overcome this by recalibrating on a non-patched Switch. Now I need to install a mod chip to get it done...
maybe you have broken the digitizer flex.
I’m pretty sure I didn’t.. I’ve read that sometimes theres an incompatibility between card readers and digitizers. Needs calibration using Hekate
probably the touch screen chip is damaged
Is the thermal paste specific to the switch or can i use the one for cpu on computers?
you can use the one that is usually used on a PC
I don't think the LCD screen is what I need to replace but it's the cracks on the front can you replace that too
U need to buy the digitizer (touch screen panel)
@@sthetixofficialif i change that will be too different from the quality of the original? I'm afraid of that.
What the size of the adhesive tape?
i didnt use it
Can i ask? Whats the cause of the shadows on the screen? I have the same problem
my customer said, he used the console while charging it, a lot.
@@sthetixofficialif is like this them all switchs should have this issues, specially the ones that is used on dock, because the dock is constantly charging it while you play on TV.
The screen doesn't work when I installed the new one so what do I tinker?
Maybe the lcd socket is damaged or u haven't inserted the backlight ribbon
I wonder if anyone has modded the Switch lite to have an OLED screen then the LCD screen it comes with
The socket is different and we cannot do that mod
If someone could make and oled upgrade lcd for the switch lite its possible but for now we dont have the news for it
Thanks
This literally happened to me...like rn at exactly 1:17 AM
got every screw on the motherboard but 1 decide to strip🤕
What magic is this? No heat gun required, no adhesive needing a gallon of isopropyl alcohol and various scraping implements to remove, no 50 different fasteners needing custom bits to get out? This can't possibly be true of the best handheld gaming system around, can it?
Try it and you will know later
Can you put 6.2 dispay from big Switch on it?😅
😜no
i was just following the video and It was really going well until the last screw suddenly become stripped. Please help. It was so small and i can't seem to find any tutorial on how to remove stripped screw that this small. it was not "+" anymore it is "o"
it is hard, you might need to use a mini grinder to shape the screw to a slotted type but in the worst case scenario, you might need to drill it.
@@sthetixofficial some say that superglueing my screw driver on it might solve the problem. but I'm afraid to do more damage on the switch
u cannot do that.
what's the size of your + screw?
Ph00 from. Ifixit
Is there a professional I can talk to that can do this for me? I’m worried if I try I might mess it up
maybe you can go to the gbatemp to ask them.
I tried this, and im just getting a black screen, any suggestions lol
maybe you didnt lock the lcd screen socket?
the screen is too far to the right. you can see the border thickness is greater on the side
What's that cement stuff you put on those 2 parts?
Which parts?
@@sthetixofficial the adhesive?
I didn't add it, It is there sticking on the frame
@@BleeedinGreeen I think you're asking about the thermal paste. It's silver in the video correct?
What's the grey substance you applied that looks like cement? Is it really needed?
it is a thermal paste. it is needed.
I have this issue as well. Do you have any idea that cause this issue?
We dont know.
My charge port is not working after doing this
U might have damaged the port or something else
And how does it go wrong like that? I already see several videos in which they show a damaged screen in the same way. And the truth is I wouldn't want to buy a console and then repair it after a year :(. At least there is a common pattern of origin?
it can happen anytime.
