Thanks! I've been putting off switching the faceplate forever before I found this video. Also, for anyone else that is struggling to put the ribbon cable back in: I found it easier to put it back in before snapping the whole unit back into place.
Just wanted to drop a big Thank You! My fiancé bought the Animal crossing kit to convert her entire switch to look like the Animal crossing edition. I watched all three videos you have for the joy cons, back plate and then this one for the docking station and they were extremely helpful!
Everything went smoothly but iI think I may have killed my dock... I'll try it again, tomorrow. Gotta be that ribbon cable. Getting it just right was a chore!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO! I couldn’t get the damn ribbon cable back in after fiddling with it for a f***n hour! Watched your vid and bam - in right away! Thank you!
Thanks again for another guide video! All your guides have been really helpful! I just changed out my dock plate to an NES one like yours. I was going to go with atomic purple like my switch/pro controller but there is nothing interesting to see with a transparent look on the dock plate.
So for Christmas, I was getting my sister an animal crossing front plate and I took my old switch dock apart since I have the OLED and I don't need my old dock didn't think she would be keen on me taking apart hers. Anyway, I got to the front plate only to realise it was a slide on plate...... so I didn't have to take anything apart, to begin with.....
@@CTAtechdesk I need help, I took off my AC Limited Edition dock when I got it by accident because I never had a switch before. How do I put it on back? It went off kinda like you did it at the start of the video
I probably wouldn't get one of these but this is pretty neat. Also your channel is awesome dude. On a random note but related to the Switch, I ordered the new Hori Pikachu wireless controller, if you can get your hands on it, I'd definitely be interested in a review
Hmmmm, not sure, it is definitely something to do with that small board as that the only electronics. Have you double check the ribbons and connections?
I believe they changed the ribbon cable, I have a 2021 model and the ribbon cable doesn't have those line curves to help you stick the ribbon cable back in. My cable definitely looks different than the one from the video.
Boy I sure am glad the tiniest ribbon connection was a blurry zoom in. It was really helpful. So the key is to get the ribbon OVER the tabs THEN under the pins. Sheesh. 15 minutes of nearly tearing the thing later I got it. There's a bit of an angle to it. 😤 The video was both helpful AND infuriating.
@@CTAtechdesk I just fixed it, the little "L" shaped piece was incorrectly placed there was 2 ways it could be put in the L shaped way, and then I also just took my time reconnecting everything slowly I don't know if that was the actual problem or not but thank god I have it working I was so scared I was gonna have to buy a new dock, Thanks 👍🏻

My girl got me the classic NES faceplate as a surprise gift. Your video made the process so very easy. I appreciate the assistance.

Exceptional tutorial, thank you! Disconnecting the LED light cable from circuit board was really in tight, but finally worked it out after 20 minutes.
Nice I've been looking at thia but wanted to see a video of a new dock front plate
Appreciate all the vids you put up 🙏
Thank you! This helped with my fears of messing up the electronics lol. I swear I have a curse… this is really well-made :) I appreciate it
I went with the NES faceplate. Your tutorial was very helpful and easy to swap out thanks
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO! I couldn’t get the damn ribbon cable back in after fiddling with it for a f***n hour! Watched your vid and bam - in right away! Thank you!
Glad it helped 👍🏻
Just a question how does the new dock shell look with led shield
Thanks again for another guide video! All your guides have been really helpful! I just changed out my dock plate to an NES one like yours. I was going to go with atomic purple like my switch/pro controller but there is nothing interesting to see with a transparent look on the dock plate.
Glad it helped. Good choice on the NES version. I love it.

Mine won’t work after I switched the plates
Need to check the ribbon 👍🏻
@@CTAtechdesk yep, it was ribbon cable. Had it backwards. Thank you!!!!

@@PointsMaster Nvm, I fixed it and it’s just like new, and with no screw drivers!

Thanks. Nice controller, Hori do some decent stuff 👍🏻
So I unscrewed that piece with the springs, how exactly do I out that back together like it was before?
how did you do it?
This guy tutorial works perfectly. Funny enough I also have the same face cover.
I still have that plate. love it.
I got a white one thank you for the tutorial!☺️🙏
Awesome tutorial and easy to follow through. Thank you so much!
seem a vinyl sticker would work just as good and avoid taking it all apart
This helped a lot!
i did this and my switch is no longer dock to the tv but it is charging how do i fix the docking issue? otherwise it is working great
I got the orange star universe this tutorial gonna help me a lot!
I've done this and followed step by step but my led doesn't light up anymore? It's not a big deal but just wondering if you have any idea. Thanks :)
Hmmmm, not sure, it is definitely something to do with that small board as that the only electronics. Have you double check the ribbons and connections?
Only problem is getting the screws out in the first place. I couldent get em out even with the special screwdriver.
Hi I’m currently doing the exchange and the ribbon cable isn’t going back into the board any advice
Just make sure it’s in far enough. It does need to almost clip in. Keep trying, just be careful 👍🏻
I believe they changed the ribbon cable, I have a 2021 model and the ribbon cable doesn't have those line curves to help you stick the ribbon cable back in.
My cable definitely looks different than the one from the video.
@@boxcarpilot30 i have the same problem
I bought a used switch and went to do this but one of the back screws are stripped. Any tips?
The screws are terrible that come with the switch. Try placing a rubber band on top or the corner of a small flat screwdriver and dig and turn.
Welp, I fucked my ribbon cable, there goes my dock I guess
Im stuck on this part too... I sure am glad an unfocused zoom in for this tiny pin connector was used.
I have a difficulty while puttig back the blue/white cable and shut the thing down...

My dock doesn’t charge my switch of show up on tv help please
One of your biggest fans is back
Where to get the Zelda dock?
If you mean the light up sheika one, Amazon search for "PDP dock shield". It's under $30 USD.
I cant remove that small white bit that is attached to those small red and black cables...
is it the same for the oled dock?
No it’s different kit
Do you have a video or know of a tutorial that includes the oled dock?
Thats pretty cool
I did this, and my switch is connecting to the dock, but no tv output?????
Go back in and make sure the small circuit board os fully connected 👍🏻
@@CTAtechdesk I just fixed it, the little "L" shaped piece was incorrectly placed there was 2 ways it could be put in the L shaped way, and then I also just took my time reconnecting everything slowly I don't know if that was the actual problem or not but thank god I have it working I was so scared I was gonna have to buy a new dock, Thanks 👍🏻
Nice, mod its cool
Freaking awesome
Doing the snes
Can you do a video on a cheap capture card?
