Introduction |
| Follow this guide to replace a damaged or faulty digitizer on the Nintendo Switch game console. | | | '''Note:''' If the screen stopped working, you may just need to [guide|117395|replace the LCD panel], rather than the digitizer. | | | '''Note:''' When you remove the shield plate, you’ll need to replace the thermal compound between the plate and the heatsink. Since normal thermal paste isn’t designed to bridge large gaps, the closest replacement is K5 Pro viscous thermal paste. You will, however, need regular replacement thermal paste for the CPU. | | | You can complete this repair without removing the heat sink and the game card reader, but it makes disconnecting and reconnecting the LCD panel ribbon cable much more difficult. Keep this in mind when you perform this repair. | | | '''Note:''' This guide, and the part we sell, are compatible with the original Nintendo Switch model released in 2017, as well as the newer refreshed model released in 2019 (model numbers HAC-001 and HAC-001(-01), respectively). |
