Introdução
Follow this guide to replace a broken or faulty screen on the Nintendo Switch game console. This procedure replaces both the LCD panel and the digitizer as a whole unit. To replace just the digitizer, follow this guide. To replace just the LCD panel, follow this 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).

What size tesa tape best fits the original (not OLED) switch? I have a slightly loose screen and don't want to disassemble to measure without having the right size on hand.
I followed the steps, however the screen only works/lights up if I push on the screen. Any idea what I did wrong?
The Screen and Screen assembly are out of stock...can I buy the LCD, Digitizer etc and assemble them myself?
