    Already purchased the reg housing shell. But after watching this video I think I'm just gonna stick with case instead of replacing my Housing especially the front housing 😂

    I want to be brave and do this diy because my vent grills are all broken off and it looks awful. Nintendo want to charge a whole new switch to replace the casing! and if that wasn’t enough, I’ve JUST discovered the game cartridge slot is also not reading anymore😩 the only thing that worries me is heating up the screen to separate from the faceplate.
    I love my Switch but damn it’s such shit quality hardware!

      @@MattPassarelli fair point about the cart reader. My thinking is that, if I’m going to open up my switch, I may as well recondition the whole unit, as it’s worn really badly.
      The other concern I had was that, the quality of these third party cart readers aren’t always good, and it’s a bit of a lottery to get one that works 😩

    Hello, how easy is it to keep the Digitiser and Screen attached together when removing them from the shell?
    Because just over 2 years ago I had to replace another switch shell and the screen detached from the Digitiser, not sure why that was.

    • @DualJ512
      @DualJ512 3 роки тому

      I’ve ordered a new housing so I’ll see if I’ve got the nerve to attempt it again, don’t really want to clean out dust again from the screen and the underside of the digitiser which what happened last time when both separated.
      I don’t think they’re glued either but between both of them there is a thin adhesive strip, which I believe that’s to stop the LCD from moving about. But it’s not like properly glued like you said.
      I have a feeling last time I attempted this, the LCD ribbon cable was still attached to the mother board and that’s why both separated! Gonna make sure everything is disconnected first should I attempt it again! 👍
