  • In this video, I've bought something else broken off aBay. This one is a Nintendo Switch Lite that powers on, has sound, but has a faulty display.
    Turns out it also has a couple of stripped screws and some nice mismatched thumb-sticks!
    Will I be able to fix it?
    Hope you enjoy!

    I think you should remember to unplug battery before you mess with anything else, I learned this by misaligning the ribbon cable and burning fuse in joy con.

    left hand drill bits will usually unscrew the screw. The cutting edge will grab it and screw it right out. Got to run the drill in reverse.

    You can try dipping your driver bit in some valve grinding compound. it's also called valve lapping compound here in the US. It's gritty so it helps fill the spaces in screw heads that are rounded out.

      Hi Kate. It's possible that the backlight has gone, it can be quite common if ribbon cables are removed while the battery is still plugged in, but can just happen if one of them is not quite seated right on reassembly. Can you hear if the console comes on?

    So basically you "repaired" it by taking your good one, taking the board out of the good one and swapping it with the board in the bad one.
    Thus breaking the yellow.
    So you netted out NO GAIN from this.
