    I bought this terrible condition water damaged switch off offerup as-is, and guy tells me he spilled soda all over it. It was really rough, the screen was scratched up and the backplate was really damaged. I'm going to attempt a nintendo switch restoration, and show you how to replace a switch screen, how to replace the LCD, and the joy-con rails! since we had an issue with joy-con not being detected. I also attempt to do a complete mario red switch housing swap and nintendo mario red backplate swap. but keyword on attempt there. Things did not go as planned and had to perform a switch screen replacement. This liquid damage switch is still savable though! I just need time for more parts, so stay tuned for part 2!

    Hey Jeff, This1sSeth.
    I took apart my entire switch to put it into new housing, and I found that I had the same issue with the LCD panel... at first. The ribbon connector on the motherboard needs the have the contact points all the way in, and I found it was really finicky to do so. I suggest using two sets of pliers to pull the ribbon cable into the connector with equal amount of force, it’s what solved my issue for the display turning on. Also, I had two stripped screws which I just bore the heads off of with a screw extractor kit to get the old ones out and put new rails in. I have a *slight problem of my digitizer not working but otherwise that’s how I got my switch to be fully functional; hope this helps! Great video and I can’t wait to see part 2!

    Idk if this always rings true, but for stripped screws, sometimes WD-40 sets it straight. And as a child I was prone to breaking a lot of my devices and when I got old enough to know that I liked the stuff I was breaking I tried repairing them, so I would often come across stripped screws. I want to say about anywhere between 4-7 years ago, I decided to use WD-40 to loosen screws that have been stripped.

    At what point does the price of replacement parts outvalue the full price of the switch? I'm all for restoring devices for the sake of restoration, but it seems like the time and effort might not have equaled the value. (wasn't adding up the prices or anything, just feels like it)
