Introduction |
| Outside of catastrophic impact damage, the main reason to replace a midframe on a Nintendo Switch is because the joy-con mounting rail has been brutally ripped from the midframe, leaving no solid mounting for a replacement rail available. | | | In order to restore the security of the joy-con mount, it is necessary to replace the entire midframe, and this guide will step you through the procedure. | | | ***The Switch uses JIS screws. A JIS 00 driver works best, but you can also use a JIS 000 driver. If you use a Phillips driver, you'll risk stripping the screws.*** | | | ***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. |
