WARNING!!! Do NOT remove any electronic cables without disconnecting the battery first. I fried my switch lite because the battery was still in. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY!!!

Just bought the pink one, very stressful process, but mine works fine even though I've never done something like this! Definitely worth the cash :)

Easily the most stressful thing I’ve done in a while. Everything seems to be in working order though, despite me denting a flex cable (which made the whole process even more suspenseful) Shell looks sick and looking back on the process I don’t think it was too bad, just really tedious. This song is gonna be stuck in my head for a while though

I have never repaired anything electronic before, but I followed this video and everything works perfect on my Switch. It was actually a super easy process, just really tedious and long. For taking off the screen I used a blow drier instead of a heat gun. I heated the whole surface for a while, then did one end until I was able to pop it up. I slid a plastic ID under it, then heated all the edges again before sliding the card all the way around to get it off. I was worried about bending and damaging the screen, so this worked well for me.

It took some time but with patience and a lot of pausing I was able to get it done! I used a blow dryer for the screen and that worked fine, just be sure to be gentle with everything and have room to spread your stuff out as you work.

This video is excellent! I ordered the black replacement shell and the black buttons with two black analog sticks, and it looks and feels stunning. I love the look but I didn't expect the matte finish to feel as good as it does. I couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for this guide and for the great products!

These look so sick! Can’t wait to customize my switch lite! 💖

12 minutes into the video and I've decided it's probably a good idea to have a professional do this or try this with a used one.

My first time ever changing the frame and this step by step helped so much, was so nervous about the screen but I was patient and it paid off! Couldn't be happier with my results.

Took me a few hours but finally finished! I took the advice from others regarding disconnecting the battery first. Will say this was very fiddley (and that's coming with someone who works with tech). Did have an issue where the system refused to boot but after reseating the ribbon cable next to the power socket it seems to be working fine! Only negative I can report is I did not recieve a power button in my set so had to use my old one which stands out a bit, cheers for the well documented video!

Just finished swapping out my case. I recommend getting a heat gun for this project. Tried using my wife's hair dryer, didn't work too well. Removing the screen from the old case was nerve wrecking so TAKE YOUR TIME when you do this project. Overall, excellent video guide. Went with a black and red color scheme with my switch. I wish the Joyce color was a little darker to match the buttons exactly, but overall, it looks excellent.

Thanks for the detailed video. About to change my shell this week!

:0 i’m so excited this came!! thank you so much!! :)

I only swapped the back case and the bumpers, and it still looks amazing!

Great product! Went with the see through blue color and all went well

I bought a gb replacement shell with button's and God the feeling is amazing, I haven't changed it cause it's pretty hard so I will pay someone to help me but o gosh thank you for doing such an amazing guide and product

Got my purple one today and it went great except the cartridge port cover is kinda stiff but whatever it’s worth it, great product!

Amazing video! :D I followed through and with patience and persistence, was able to replace the cover of my switch lite. Unfortunately I accident ripped a little piece of a ribbon cable using thicker tweezers instead of the ones he used, and now my switch’s screen blinks on and off, so at least I think that’s why it blinks on and off. I don’t know how to fix the screen malfunction that but at least I know now I can do more in the future by learning from my mistakes. Also the screws are very delicate, so when loosing it, treat it gently and slowly because the screws can wear off easily and if it becomes worn off too much by going to fast, you won’t be able to unscrew it anymore. Also it is very easy to mix the screws together so I would recommend to group them by sections so you know which ones to screw back. Thankfully the replacement comes with extra screws and springs. I don’t think I’ll play on this switch since the screen turns on and off but the pink is super cute for displaying. :)

This was a REALLY fun challenge, but a challenge at that. I used a blow dryer for the screen which worked hallariously and I almost thought I killed my switch until I fixed a loose ribbon cable connection to the screen. THANK YOU!!!

First time I’ve ever done something like this and it was scary but not that hard in the end! I did not have all the right tools like tweezers and heat gun but I still figured it out. Didn’t have a hair dryer either, I ended up using a hot cup of tea and holding the screen over the steam. Took a while but it worked lol idk if I’d recommend it to other though because as times the screen got all wet from condensation. My screen is fine though! Touch control and all the buttons work! Yay!

Super easy install, it's just a lot of screws and managing the tape connectors. Took me 2.5 hours to finish

Does the display glue to the frame good after the replacement? Not that it falls out on it's own when i use the switch lite while gaming.

I wasn’t able to get one of the screws out so I couldn’t replace the front but I decided I might as well still replace the back and it honestly still looks really cool. I decided to use the original on and volume buttons and card hatches and add the new screen protector and it has a cool contrast. It also didn’t require removing any of the circuits if someone is nervous about that.

Extremely stressful process lol.. but I got the classic Nintendo case and it looks sick!! Excellent video!!!

One question when you put the screen on your newer shell do you need special tape like adhesive or you just put the screen on the new shell?

should i add new thermal paste during the shell exchange process?

Just changed mines today and everything works great!!!

Will there be more colors available? Really would love a light Grey one

I absolutely love this! Do you plan to release more colours? Maybe something more elegant like a deep purple/wine colour? 💜 (Plus Halloween is not that far, so it would be in-season too)

So I bought the black shell and mine came with the black screen outline, how do you change that out or would I be better off buying a new screen for my switch?

Pretty easy process. Only problem is the plastic strips easy. Especially the outer screws that go near the usbc port.

My only issue in the video was pulling out the battery plug. I couldn’t see it more thoroughly in the video so I pulled the entire battery plug (the black part it’s connected to) out. When pulling that plug out, it should be only the light gray part not including the black part. That’s supposed to stay stuck on the board. A little FYI for the rest of u incase you might miss it like I did. Other then that the tutorial is great. It was my first time trying this. I got the pink one.

Completely excited for this! Ready to order once the switch lite replacement buttons are released! A question though: Will the replacement of the thermal paste on the heating pad be required?

I’ve got a slight gap in mine by the heat sync vents with the new shell on but bar that it’s perfect 👍🏻

What exactly does this kit come with?

would a blow dryer work instead of a heat gun?

10 out of 10 good repair guide worked for me

Will y’all have replacement shells for the new OLED switch?

A shop will be doing my overhaul. I am replacing my clam shell for atomic purple. I am also replacing the battery, thumb modules in black or white, and the TFT lcd screen. Can you give me suggestions what would compliment the atomic purple shade as far as D pads and the like go. I saw a chameleon purple / blue kit and it looks stellar. I’m sure pictures don’t do it justice. Please help or suggest if possible.

Is there a way to make back buttons for the switch lite and for the joycons?

Step 1 : Gut the switch Step 2 : Have an existential crisis Step 3 : Put it back together

Amazing... I loved the products.

omg this is what I want now... Wish they have button replacements for lite like normal switch or pro controller. Do you have?

Hello, it's me again, just wondering if you guys can consider making purple splatter grip panels for the Xbox one controller? I wanna make a purple controller build and thought it'll be cool with it but it's not a thing.

Muchas gracias, con tu ayuda lo logrè! 👏🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

I'm going with a pastel color scheme (mint green shell, sky blue buttons, and yellow screen outline.) But i would like to make a suggestion. An original Gameboy themed switch lite. Pinkish red face buttons, black d pad, and light grey shell would look awesome.

I’m no tech guy, but I just did the swap, took me two hours with pausing and going back a few times. Plus I made a mistake in the process where one of the ribbon thingees got stuck behind a panel I already screwed in. So I had to unscrew that part and start over. In all it just takes time and some finesse but doable if you are a noob like me. Love how it turned out , looks amazing and works great so far. tweezers and a blow dryer/hot air gun are needed, which wasn’t included in the package I bought off Amazon. Anyways good stuff! Thank you!

I opened the back of my switch to find that one of the screws was already striped… how am I suppose to get it out?

What is that white cable for at 14:55. When I was prying up on it to disconnect, the wire came off the terminal

Will you guys ever make a blue coating splash dock?

I'm an IT professional and run my own business. This is probably one of the more difficult disassemblies I've done, especially since I have very large hands. PLEASE POWER OFF THE SWITCH COMPLETELY TO 0%, AND POWER OFF THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY FIRST. I also recommend double checking with other videos. Some other ones went overboard with disassembly but this guide does suffice. Keep your screws, even after the project has been completed. Handle the screws gently and DO NOT overtighten. If this a very advanced disassembly, but I am highly satisfied with how my switch turned out.

What do I do if the left button on the D pad thinks it’s the L button? And also, my touch screen isn’t working. The volume down button isn’t working either. I replaced the buttons, the joysticks and the shell all from extremerate. I believe I followed everything step by step exactly. What did I do wrong?

I’m getting a lite soon and I love the scarlet red !

I'm so patient I didn't watch the entire video before I started lol. No heat gun handy so I improvised and used a hair dryer. Probably took longer but the screen came out after some time. All put back together now and everything seems to function correctly.

I’m currently on 9:08 and the screws are stubborn and it broke the screw driver that came with it AND one that I had in a glasses repair kit. Can someone help me get them to loosen up?

Hi! Is it necessary to change the thermal paste or no?

I'm now buying the Switch Lite because that. Plus are you guys going to make custom buttons for The Lite also?

Do you need to switch the buttons? I'm really only wanting to switch the shell.

Do you have to use thermal paste on the heat sink?

Will there be more designs asides from the ones on the website?

The screws do not fit at 39:12 in my blue shell I bought. They aren't screwing in at all.

I followed the guide, however, when the process was done, my screen has black lines and what look like digital cracks on it. Is this due to one of the ribbons or is my LCD screwed? The screen responds, and the glass itself is not damaged.

I just bought the shell with gold chrome buttons. Can't wait for it to come

I need help my game card slot isn't working

My sister and I just did ours ! And we did everything you showed to do , and our switches won’t turn on😭 what should we do??

What to do when the screw gets stripped while unscrewing? 😭😭😭 tried the rubber band technique, that didnt work…

Have the glaicer blue coming tomorrow really pumped have gotten other products of yours such as xbox series S parts shells and led kits never have had any issues pumped to make mine unique keep it up

will the screen protector cover the switch entirely so none of the old material shows? i want the white shell but i have a pink switch since i thought the bezzel would be replaced too

Any news on release for the transparent shells?

Any tips on how to clean it? I have a shell for my pro controller and the back has gotten brownish/blackish streaks 😩

Im legitimately scared to move forward with this, I havnt placed an order yet but I know the exact color I want! And scrolling through these comments have been a roller coaster on whether I should do this or not seeing some ppl doing this successfully and some having unfortunate outcomes on device not turning on, being fried and controls not working

Bricked mine.. it turns on but only displays a black screen, no idea what i did wrong.. damn

I only want to replace the back plate of my shell, can I only just replace that?

Align the screen with the front shell and tightly stick

I just installed my clear shell and i noticed that when in dark areas with my switch lite screen on, I noticed some of the light from the led screen leaks through the bottom and a little bit on the left side. Is this normal on clear shells?

Anyone have any recommendations on what type of thermal paste to use that is on top of the heat sink and heat shield?

I got mine back together and the picture won’t show up but it turns on. Any help on what that could be?

Followed all these steps but now my switch is dead. Double checked all connections and I removed the power before doing anything else. Any advice?

Hya do you know if I could take it to someone so they could do it I think I would mess it up like a shop for devices

Thanks 👏👏👏👏

if i want to, can i use the white buttons from my switch? i cant tell if theyre the exact same shape

I’ve done this and and when I finished and went to turn my console on the display isn’t being shown but the touch sensor does and all the buttons work. I just can’t see any display. Would you know how to help please and thank you.

I think i'm going to get one because i have the coral one but i want to change it up without getting a whole new switch and im excited!!!

i stripped a screw on the inside and decided to just use the new back and turn it on, but it wasnt able to turn it on so i tried opening it, but the screws i used that came with the set, stripped a screw on the outside so i cant open it anymore and it's unusable

I bought a new shell, but it seems I failed at install it. Cause its screen didn't work. I can see my screen lights up after pressing the power button. But it just lights up, nothing displays. If I press other buttons, I can hear the voice of click. I'm so confusing now. I connected every cable again but it's still a black backlight screen. I had bought this kind of shells for two times. This is the second time for me to replace shell. The another one is working well now. Question! Could you tell me which parts of the switch lite can cause this situsation? Thank u!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭

what if the adhesive strip for the screen stayed on the old shell???

11:03 That nut I was trying to remove is freaking stuck!!! and I when I dig and turn it harder it just won't budge! What do I do?!

For whatever reason I decided to attempt this with my daughter’s Christmas present, she likes pink so I wanted to make it nice for her. It won’t turn on now. I’m legit close to tears.

Does anyone know what places I can take the shell and switch to get it reshelled for me? My hands are much too sweaty and clumsy I don't trust myself 😅

I just tried and now my switch doesnt display anything, I can hear the sound effects of the buttons so it fr sure is on, but it just doesnt do anything, what should I do ?

Please make more buttons like the og switch has. All the chameleon, and see through etc. How cool would it be to have a the see through clear case matched with see through clear buttons that would be a pretty cool switch lite

Will you have different designs like an snes inspired one for example, or an nes

Well, I've successfully swapped multiple joycon shells, so fuggit. I ordered a black shell, black buttons, and better thumbsticks. So it'll be a nice, stressful, fulfilling day off project.

10:55 man ... I have a stripped screw .... and I’m pretty bummed , is there any fix for this ?

I would recommend buying your own tools. I used the ones that came with the shell but they stripped the screws and I was not able to remove any of them

My screen is not turning on it is making the clicking noises what should I do?

If I was to buy the heaven blue shell and buttons is it the same process to install everything on the switch lite. This will be my first time doing something like this so I'm extremely nervous about it.

So i just finished putting together and i have no lights at all i checked and triple checked all the connections and ribbons they were all fine but still nothing any help would be appreciated

Any alternatives instead of a hair dryer or heat blower? :c

Just finished putting it together and followed it step by step and it won’t turn on? The screen doesn’t turn on either so it’s not the lcd
