Nintendo"s Factory Service Repair, which is defined as the repair (or replacement, at Nintendo"s discretion) of Nintendo systems, is available for systems within their original manufacturer"s warranty or repair warranty period. Factory Service Repair may also be available for a fee for systems where the manufacturer"s warranty or repair warranty has expired, or where the issue with the system is not covered under warranty. Please visit the Nintendo Customer Support page to determine what options may be available for your system.
If you send in your system for service under the original manufacturer"s warranty or the repair warranty and it is determined that the issue was caused by something other than a manufacturer"s defect, payment will be required before Nintendo will repair your system. Two attempts will be made to contact you to arrange for payment. If we are unable to contact you, your system will be returned to you unrepaired.
Nintendo will not repair any product found to be counterfeit or altered (e.g. software modification, hardware modification, tampered with, etc.). Any system identified as such will be returned as-is. In addition, Nintendo reserves the right to refuse requests for repairs that, in Nintendo"s sole discretion, are fraudulent.
When you send in your system for repair Nintendo will attempt to preserve any saved data on your system. However, due to the nature of some system issues, saved data is not always recoverable after repairs are performed. Please read the documentation that is enclosed with your returned repair for more information.
Follow this guide to replace a damaged or faulty LCD panel on the Nintendo Switch game console. This procedure replaces just the LCD panel. To replace the LCD panel and the digitizer as a complete unit, follow our screen replacement guide.
The Switch uses JIS screws, but you can use a Phillips screwdriver in a pinch. Be very careful not to strip the screws. iFixit"s Phillips bits are designed to be cross-compatible with JIS-style 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.
You can complete this repair without removing the heat sink and the game card reader, but it makes disconnecting and reconnecting the LCD panel ribbon cable much more difficult. Keep this in mind when you perform this repair.
Note: This guide, and the part we sell, are compatible with the original Nintendo Switch model released in 2017, as well as the newer refreshed model released in 2019 (model numbers HAC-001 and HAC-001(-01), respectively).

This blog post is the first in a series of short posts on common Nintendo Switch problems and what to do about them; that might mean a DIY fix or sending it in to a pro for a quality and quick repair. In the world of handheld video game consoles, there’s almost nothing more important than the screen, so we decided to tackle common Switch LCD problems with today’s post! Let’s jump right in…
Dock causing scratches and scuffs: When the Switch is haphazardly placed into the dock it is possible that the system’s screen can be scratched by the hard plastic edges. If you find yourself frequently switching the console between handheld and docked positions, it isstronglyadvised that you use a screen protector or attach microfiber clothes to the offending hard plastic parts.
Screen scratches or cracks: Have you ever had your heart sink and time slow down when you drop your favorite electronic device? I know I have. When you’re unlucky, like myself, your device’s screen fractures in more ways than you thought possible. The first thing to do is to diagnose what is broken. If the image beneath your screen is still okay then you just need a new digitizer. If the image is also acting strange then you’re most likely going to need a new LCD as well.
Dead Pixels: Dead pixels are imperfections on a screen caused by pixels that don’t light up anymore. LCD screens have been known to commonly have these and they are most noticeable on a handheld gaming system like the Switch. Nintendo has stated that they know about the problem but that it is not covered by their warranty as dead pixels are “characteristic of LCD screens.” These screen defects however, are some of the most annoying, immersion-breaking issues in handheld gaming and it is crazy that Nintendo has denied fixing them.
(Scroll to the bottom for a DIY how-to video) If you are electronically savvy and feel like you want a general outline of the process of repairing your own Switch, read on!
The first thing you’ll need to do is remove all of the screws which hold your Switch together with a screwdriver and then you have to remove the back of the console. Then you’ll find a large piece of aluminum shielding which will require more screw removal. Once the shielding is unscrewed, you have to disconnect the memory card slot circuit board, and immediately disconnect the battery. A few more components need to be disconnected and removed and then you can move onto the removal of the digitizer. The digitizer is held onto the Switch with adhesive which needs to be softened with either an iFixIt iOpener, a silicon heating platform, or a hot air gun. When the screen is warmed up, you can take the digitizer off of the frame with a variety of pry tools, being careful to avoid the digitizer ribbon cable underneath the right side of the screen. You’ll then need to clean off the adhesive and either put on a new digitizer or if your LCD is also broken, you’ll need to remove the LCD and replace it with a new one, as well. Once your digitizer and/or LCD are replaced, it’s just a matter of reassembling the console and it should be good to go!
