The Switch Lite might seem nearly indestructible, but a well placed user's heel can still shatter that thin LCD below the armored digitizer. Join me as I tear this console down and bring clarity back to this display!

I have a sword and shield edition and replacing the LCD screen cost more than half of the cost of getting a second hand switch lite. I am thinking of doing it myself and this video helps a lot. Never thought I could do the repair from the front side to avoid removing all the parts. Thanks for the video!

I definitely did it the lazy way, but it worked out. It’s a bit frustrating to feed the ribbons through

Do you have to use an adhesive to stick the digitizer to the LCD? Or does it just sit in place? I know the digitizer needs adhesive to stick to the shell, but can't find any info about securing the LCD to the digitizer.

@TapticDigital Ай бұрын

Nope, no adhesive needed there. The pressure of the digitizer will hold the LCD in the shell on its own

Hi. What’s the Amazon link for the LED display? Can you help with the part code ?

@TapticDigital 3 ай бұрын

I’m not too sure as I didn’t buy this from Amazon. As long as it’s an LCD listed for the Switch Lite it should work just fine, to my knowledge they’ve never made changes to the LCD part.

Do you need to apply new thermal paste before reassembling the switch?

@TapticDigital Ай бұрын

I usually like to replace it. Some I open still have very soft thermal paste that isn’t dried out, it can be reused. Otherwise it’s best to clean and replace

I just bought a used one with a broken lcd for $50. If my repair is successful, then my all-in total will be $120 + an hour of fiddling around for a switch lite. Seems good.

That’s one heck of a good deal for a Switch Lite!

What size tesa tape? I see 1mm and 2 mm rolls and thats not a big difference. Thank you for the video. Ubreakifix said $300 plus to fix. Screen stopped working after I replaced the joysticks.

@TapticDigital 2 ай бұрын

Ubreak is crazy for that, sounds like they just don’t want to work on it. Definitely try reseating the screen cables before fully replacing, and test the new display before installing! Grab 2mm tape, I rarely use the 1 as it’s almost too thin to hold anything.

Thank you sir! It's possible I zapped it but I'll check again@@TapticDigital

Where can I get the tesa tape?

@TapticDigital 3 ай бұрын

I get mine from MobileSentrix but you can find similar tape from many different vendors, even on Amazon.

After replacing my lcd screen, the screen became blank. There is sound and power screen is only dark no home screen menu. My switch is a cfw modded system. Please help.

@TapticDigital Ай бұрын

Sounds like either a bad screen, or something isn’t fully connected.

How to remove stripped screw on my switch lite can't replace my lcd screen because i broke it easily when i dissembling 😢

@TapticDigital 18 күн бұрын

You can cut a line into the screw with a grinding tool and use a flathead to remove it, or look into precision screw extractors

@Dragoon_Kenji27 2 ай бұрын

How much did it cost for everything, like the tools, the new screen, and any other materials needed? If it cost less to repair this way then buy a new one then HECK YEA I'll probably try this

@TapticDigital 2 ай бұрын

Hmm. Screen was about $40, screwdriver set was $15, double sided tape probably about $10, let’s call it $100 total to factor in shipping.

I don't offer mail in repairs just yet, I'd recommend looking up Chase Fournier, he's another KZfaqr and last I saw he does amazing work on mail in devices.
