    • @Vincent_Beers

    Having done the same thing with other tech I can tell you that I average about 2 out of 3 that can be fixed while the other one can be used as a parts machine. As long as you shoot for being able to make a small profit from fixing the first one you will be able to consistently come out ahead.

    Fixing electronics is a gold mine.
    I was looking for a switch for our family and the going rate (in Australia) at the time was $300+ second hand.
    I guy was selling one with a few issues for $140 with the dock so I took a gamble.
    Just needed two new ribbon cables (one for each joycon) and a new right rail on the switch and it worked 100%
    Total cost of parts to me was $14 and about 30 minutes to complete.
    I think people need to not be scared to open up and replace parts on things.

    You should replace the serial number sticker with the original one. For me it wouldn't be a complete repair without everything being correct with the new one.
    Or simply transfer the screen to the other chassis. People might buy a blue one for a higher price than a yellow one.

    On the first Switch Lite I would of done a trick I use to do on laptops and LCD screens in the 90's to mid 2000's to determine if it was the screen of just the backlight. Shine a high powered flash light across the screen at an angle, if the LCD is working with no backlight you should be able to see a faint image on the screen if you get the light and your head positioned right. Which would say bad backlight. Otherwise probably be a bad LCD panel. Also from my experience the backlight or backlight power invertor goes out way more often than the LCD itself.
