Thank you for this video!
The headset wasn't working, sometimes it work briefly but the microphone was dead.
I did exactly like you, every step, and it's working perfectly.
👍👏
Thanks to you I was able to fix my 9 year old's switch. Thank you for doing this, much appreciated! You are a hero.
Wasn't a very complex repair, but I was way more confident working along with your vid! Thanks!
Thank you.. SO MUCH!! My switch refused to read ANY cartridges for about 6 months. Now it's back to normal!!
Needed to replace it because game card reader wasn't working. Worked. Thanks for the guide.
Thanks! My gamecard port was broken and you helped me fix it!
Was worried about doing it myself. Your video was spot on and I managed it. Much appreciated brother 🙌👍
Just did this and it worked great. 1st time trying something like this. Thanks
Thanks for the tutorial ! It was really useful to me!
Thanks for the step-by-step video! Thumbs Up! It works!
I just did this following the video - so easy thanks man!
Thank you!! This helped me fix ours in less than 30 minutes!!
Thanks for the helpful video. I was able to follow along and fix my daughter's Switch. :)
If you have problems with your touch screen after replacing the game slot modul: You can see in this video (ua-cam.com/video/K_AWvhCqKRI/v-deo.html ) at 03:00 that the wide, flat cable on the side is the connector for the touch screen (only touch function, not the display at all). So maybe your modul is not installed correctly or broken
Easy to follow and informational 👍
Just fixed mine following this video. Thank you!
Can you do a video with what your go to tools are for repairs like these? Thanks!
Thank you so much I just fix mine by watching your video
Thanks mate. Helped me!
I have a weird issue, don't know if it is the cardreader or something on the mainboard. All games I use get the message that they can't be read and I should re-insert them except for one. The games all work (I tested them with my Switch Lite), two of them were basically new. One game loads fine, installs, goes for updates and can be played. I've switched the game port pcb over from another broken Switch, with the same result. Not sure though if the replacement port is any good, it might be bad aswell. The games I've tested were Pokemon Let's Go (new, never before used), Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart, Harry Potter (like new) and Gianna Sisters. Gianna Sisters is the only game that works. What do you guys think, is it worth getting another card reader for around 40 Euros off ebay to test it or is it a lost cause?
Hi, I just have a question. Where can I find headphone jacks? Because my nintendo switch can hear, but I can't talk in any game, and when I wear it, what people hear is LOUD STATIC. But when i plug it in my phone its all good, and in a ps4. Where can I find one? Thanks
Great help,All fixed thanks to you taking the time to post.👍
Big THX from my son for this good Tutorial to Repair The Switch :)
(Excuse me for my bad english)
nothing wrong with your english bro
My headphone jack is short or my headphones dont fit fully, and i dont know if i should push it harder cause i just got it
Finally I have found someone with the same problem as me
I fixed my Joycons but wanted to see how a switch looks inside before I replace the aux. I have a interface and me dumdass forgot to turn off the phantom power.. I tried to record the output and yeah..
Thank you so much for this video
My mic import just broke and this video helps
I plug my headphones in and the aux on the Nintendo doesent detect it
@Pastel switch to another console like I did lol
I got the part replaced but now the microphone for any earbuds or headset don't work :( any fix?
I replaced and worked fine. But now when I play something to spams the a button and the plus button. Can someone please tell how to fix this.😥😥😥
Wr do I buy the replacement port for Nintendo switch and what is it called ??
You should've put new thermal paste on that heat pipe.
He didn’t have to bc none was taken off and the paste wasn’t dry or old.
It might be worth trying this with your existing game card reader/headphone Jack. It may be that one of the connections came undone instead of having a faulty part. You might save $60
This 👆🏻
Switch aux port wasn’t working, it ended up being a loose connection. If your switch has been dropped before and is having problems with the aux port, I suggest checking the connection before buying the part.
does switch earphone pin out OMTP or CTIA? thanks.
does the flex cable need to be snapped in to be functional or just inserted in. I was replacing my nintendo switch lite's right analog due to the infamous "drift" and in the process, as i was lifting the panel to remove the flex cord in the way the panel chipped off not being able to fasten the flex cable linked to the card reader chip. So when i started up my switch the headphone jack is not working which caused me to think i may have needed that panel to fasten the flex cable and not only just insert it. If that is the case then I am going to have to buy a replacement card reader for my lite.
Not sure how the lite works. This one snaps in like a Lego piece. most ribbons flex cables slide in but have a locking mechanism by turning something.
Mine broke too, but instead of scratchy noise, only one earphone works, and the mic doesn't work. Only when you bend the audio jack they all work.
Did you use this video to fix yours? I’m having the same problem
I'm having the exact same issue. Gonna try this!
Great video, just have a question. My son broke his headphone cable inside of it, I can get the aux piece out, if I followed your steps would I be able to remove the piece that’s broken
Inside or will I have to just order the part you just installed. Thanks in advance
If I understand your questions, the headphone jack is soldered in so I think replacing the whole part is easiest unless you know how to unsolder that jack with a soldering gun.
Bro I am scared to do thus to my switch
Same
Just did it to my son's. Easy peasy.
no need to be scared just take it slow and steady follow every step in the video don't be scared to be slower than the video and just rewind it doesn't matter if you cant keep up what matters is that you do it right
What tools do I need to do it if u could let us now thank u
What is the name and part number to order on Ebay? Thank you
We just replaced this and now we can hear on both headphones but now our switch can't find our SD card. I've powered off and put in and out and still nothing. Any suggestions?
Just check all the connections again.
I have a problem with my switch when I plug the headphones in it doesn’t detect them so when it’s plugged in I hear sound from the system itself
Same it’s so annoying. I think it’s cos I have plugged and unplugged my headphones so many times something might’ve worn away.
me too
my problem is that when i plug in headphones i hear everything i just can’t talk with every mic i try the mic dosnt work and it worked completely fine before
That’s exactly the same problem I have! I even ended up buying wired controller with audio jack everything was working fine till few weeks ago same problem I can hear everyone my game chat not working I tried new mic still not working
I was about to ask the same, will this help?
Is the game card reader the same part in both the Switch and the Switch Lite?
I would doubt it's the same one but I really don't know
Top job,thanks. One happy 9 year old again 😄
Would you work on my switch?
Could you share a link to buy the screwdrivers you use? Thanks
The part might come with the screwdriver, but if not, here is a link amzn.to/3Lojoo1
So I got piece of an audio cable plate stuck in it is there anyway to just get it out??
Can you use tweezers to get it out?
Can you replaced just the Audo jack without doing the card holder and everything
Did you find the answer to this?
Yes you can but will need to solder the part to the green board
One of the reviews on Amazon for the replacement part said to order k5 pro thermal paste as well. Is it necessary?
Probably not absolutely necessary cuz there is some already in there, but it does help if you want to make sure heat is being dispersed well.
@@FernandoC oh, thank you so much! I bought some just to be safe lol
So I replaced the part and now my mic doesn't work 🤦♀️
my switch says that headpones are connected but none are connected and no audio comes out
Sams
do i need to get one with a headphone jack i mean i don't even know if i will use it so like can i just reuse my wokring one
the game card reader and headphone jack come together, they are literally connected snd you can’t take them apart
On eBay they are selling just the Jack on its own.Can you just replace the headphone jack or does that whole piece have to be bought and replaced?
I believe you need to solder it on if you only buy the jack, but I'm not 100% sure now.
Yea i went with the whole part. I just have it in. Need to reassemble it now see if it works. Fingers crossed. Great video by the way.
Yo dude my mic isn't working but like the mic works it's just my switch that's acting up...so do I still do this
for me the mic doesnt work at all and when i connect it to my switch i cant hear anything i have to slightly bend the headphone cable so i can hear...
I would think it's the same thing, but not sure.
If I can hear the game and my friends, but I can’t talk, will this work?
Yes
Can you do this to my switch too
Made repair...works good
Thnak’s 🙏🙏🙏👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
my earbuds won't work at all
Dont know bout you guys but for me if I move it to a angel i can only hear it from one side and if I change it to a difrent angel it works on both IDK what to do can you help or make a video about it plz
That’s what happened to me that’s why I replaced it
I had to put a rock on the headphone jack to make it go at the angle before
It was so annoying
If it’s not working after you replaced it that means you broke your headphones by bending it before
I had by new headphones as well as the new headphone jack
Thanks!
Where do we purchase the part?
I got it at Ifixit.com and it came with the screw drivers for $60ish
My problem is the audio jack is so messed up ( Because me) thats I cant hear anything
Same. When I plug in headphones it doesn’t detect them and just plays out loud
I can hear but my mic doesn’t work
Same
The only issue i have now is the game port. It wasnt reading my physical game. My favorite Breath of the wild.

Sounds like you might need to replace this part.
Ok
My son has the same problem that’s why I’m here. Thanks for the video😃
I just bought another pair of headphones for nothing because I thought that was the problem lol this will be my next solution. I need to talk to people on Fortnite haha
Where do u get the headphone jack from
You can search on Amazon for "switch headphone jack port"
What’s the screwdriver I put used
It's a triwing screwdriver. Search for Nintendo switch screwdriver
What’s the length
@@ctpmidget6389 I don't think it matters.
Thx
I just order mine and it paid 20dlls eBay and it came with tools
Link for it??????????????????????????????????????????
I bought it from Amazon. Search for a good review.
When I plug in my headphones it feels loose and it won’t you took the headphones and I can talk to people when I push it down in the switch but I can’t hear or and my friends got discord so they can talk to me but I still wanna talk to other people but yeah I’m scared to let my mom do this XD

Wanna be friends
Excellent job but, for the next video clean and trim your nails please, thank you!
Noted!
link for the part? nintendo support has been 0 help and refuse to even replace mine.
I replaced this many years ago but you can try one of these links from Amazon. amzn.to/3y9RXLg or amzn.to/46mE60U
Good Luck!
@@FernandoC I struggled to find the piece for the original model and this is it. Thank you so much brother! Truly appreciate you.
@@FernandoC Just ordered with a tool set as well. Seems like it'll be a fun little project. Nintendo repair support refused to help me. They stated audio is coming through the headset so they would not replace the part, as it is working as intended (since the switch "doesn't support microphone use"). The mic has been working for months, only recently quit. Even with the new headset it isn't working, because the 7 year old is careless with the port.
@@FernandoC Mission accomplished! Audio and mic both working flawlessly now.
