Introduction |
| Follow this guide to replace a cracked or damaged digitizer on the Nintendo Switch Lite. This repair does not require removing the joysticks or buttons, but it makes the repair much easier. | | | The Switch Lite uses JIS screws, but you can use a Phillips screwdriver in a pinch. Be very careful not to strip the screws. iFixit's Phillips bits are designed to be cross-compatible with JIS-style screws. | | | ***Note:*** This guide is for the ***digitizer only***. If the screen stopped working, you may just need to [guide|137376|replace the screen], rather than the digitizer. If you are replacing the screen assembly (the screen attached to the digitizer) follow [link|https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nintendo+Switch+Lite+Screen+Assembly+Replacement/156978|this guide|new_window=true]. | | | ***Note:*** This procedure requires removing the shield plate and heat sink. The thermal paste will need to be cleaned off of both components—as well as the CPU—and reapplied before reinstalling the shield plate and heat sink. | | | ***Note:*** If the screen stopped working, you may just need to [guide|137376|replace the screen], rather than the digitizer. |
