- Hello,
Please watch this entire video before attempting repair
This video shows the fastest method I use to replace a damaged and or scratched digitizer lens on the Nintendo Switch console. I highly recommend installing a screen protector after this repair as these screens scratch easily.
Keep in mind while using heat to keep the heat moving and use low setting to avoid damaging the LCD

My screen got scuffed from ironically removing the cracked screen protector stuck on for a couple of years. Thanks for the straightforward tutorial.
Followed every step. Very stressful yet oddly relaxing at the same time
Perfect assessment, I did a full shell swap on one of my switches (a Lite). And while i was super stressed at some parts it was satisfying doing it myself and not spending $100 to pay someone lol.
Watching this was so satisfying seeing that since my screen was scratch due to my ignorance but now I know it can be fix thanks to your video. 😀
Finally an in depth video with an actual close up on how to replace the screen. Thanks!
Finally a video with clear shots of what you’re doing. And better still, it’s only 4min. Every other video thinks it needs a 10min intro, and then they do all the unscrewing all zoomed out lmao. Thanks a ton!!
Wasn't what I was looking for but it was very satisfying to watch lol
Great video! I really don’t like scratches on my screens it bothers me a lot.
Same here
It bothers me immensely as well. Did you replace yours yourself? And how easy or complicated was it? Things like these always look easier in a video than in real life.
The adhesive looked like something annoying to deal with - I saw that on ebay its possible to get replacement adhesive. I think my biggest concern is is dust landing on the lcd while it exposed and then accidentally getting trapped there after the replacement digitizer has already been stuck on.
It means you need to practice materialistic detachment.
@@gman2808 don't judge just because i have an anime pfp.
@@gman2808 as if having a pfp from a video game differentiates yourself
Thank You ! With this video it was piece of cake :)
Thanks man, when I was a child I abused my Nintendo a lot and when I'm older I'm fixing everything I did, your video helped me a lot
lmfao deadass i thought you said you got abused as a child 😂
@@thatoneair92 jajaja Sorry man, I didn't remember the word and I used, I abused 😆
I love how gentle you were with it almos like it was your child
this absolutely terrifies me, I'm confident in my ability to take apart the switch. but the heating and the careful peeling makes me think I'll break the screen. I have shaky hands, so it's probably best I don't try it.
I got a scratched Nintendo switch on my back! Do you like it?
I Bought cheap Switch online with a very scratched screen. Thank to your video I was able to repair it by myself.
But to heat the adhesive up I used iOpener and it works very well for myself, and feel safer.
Thank you again :)
Can't imagine why the replacement screens don't come with fresh adhesive.
Where do I get the adhesive for the screen
Great video!
Thanks!
Would you share your electric screwdriver? Where can I buy it?
no need to put thermal paste?
I think it would be best if I just prevent scratches from happening in the first place, i just ordered a switch today and i probably would end up causing more damage by dismantling for repair
Yes, use a good quality screen protector, these screens scratch easily.
Thanks for the advice, I definitely will along with a case to keep the switch securely tucked in. Counter opposite to the Nintendo dsi of my childhood whose screen I wore down disgustingly by continously pressing down with the stylus.
Yea, use like these thick screen protectors, those ones help with scratches n cracks.
God tutorial! Amazing video +++
Thank you!
where did you find those #12 razor blades in plastic? i searched all over. Thanks for the Video
Could I please get a link to the exact electronic screwdriver that you are using please. I’d like to add one to my own collection,

I just did this, and it was rather difficult. Wouldn't recommend to a beginner. Getting the old digitizer out is the hardest part, because there really aren't any edges for you to stick a tool in, and metal tools like screwdrivers are a definite no, they'll destroy the plastic casing. Prying from the speaker holes with a plastic tool was the only option I could find. I replaced the digitizer and put the Switch back together. Peeled off the protective film. And guess what? I forgot to remove the film from the other side of the digitizer! I had to do the operation all over again. It's done now, but there's some dust between the screen and the digitizer. From my experience this is almost impossible to avoid. Happens to me every time I put a new housing on any device. Also, if you're planning to do this, remember that the digitizer is different for v1 and v2 Switches.
Solid info.
A neat trick I use in installing screen protectors without dust might work when reinstalling digitizers. I install screen protectors in the bathroom after steaming (just run a hot shower or use a steamer) which pulls the dust down to the floor making it easier to focus on installing the screen protector instead of removing dust particles every couple of seconds.
@@LeKingCarnage I actually thought about the same thing but I was scared of getting moisture inside the device.
Started through the speaker hole
That is the best ever video ive watched replacing the the touch screen. Mine has a dent and scratch im now wondering if i should attempt to repair myself or send for somone else to do?????
You really don’t need to replace the whole screen just because of few scratches, my best advice is, learn to live with it instead of paying really extra money because of mere scratches, as long as they don’t interfere with the touch, you’re good.
I really like that power screw driver you have. Where can I get that? And what’s it called?
It's from jakemy
I Don't have a heat gun, what is the alternative?
Does anyone know what the screw driver/torque driver is? Seems really useful.
It's from jakemy
muchas gracias, amiwo
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this repair.
What's the point of disconnecting the battery and digitizer cable when all you are doing is heating the front then pulling the screen off?
What's the electric screwdriver you're using? Looks like it has adjustable torque settings? Not seen that on a small pen style unit like that before
Can a hair dryer be a replacement to the heat gun?
can i do the same on a switch lite?
@@Dagger1337 probably so you don’t heat up the battery
Hmmm what would be cheaper for me, buying an oled switch, or buying the tools and parts to mess up this repair and buy an oled switch?
Depends on if you think you will ever scratch a screen again.
Oled is 400$ a pack of screwdrivers is 12$ and the ones you need will only be ab 6-10$ screen is 30-60$ so it would be hella cheap, and for a heat gun, use a hair dryer, and use a credit card or something slip like that for a prying tool
You can't jailbreak an OLED
@@kipter too late, may original switch just crapped out and they have me a replacement red box model. Gg got a new oled model
Does the outer screen have to match the serial number or any Nintendo switch outer screen replacement work?
There are two different versions, first gen and second gen switches and the digitizers need to match for touch functionality to work correctly. A reputable seller should disclose which digitizer they are selling as they look identical.
what tool do you use to revove fasteners
It's from jakemy
Really wanna do this, but I'm afraid of breaking something in the process
Same. This is all too intimidating haha. I’ll just run over to the nearest mall and see what they can do about it or i’ll just rock with the tiny scratches
I just finished doing this with a replacement I received from EBay. The screen was scratched so that was unfortunate. I managed to replace it, but now my touch screen isn’t very responsive at all. Any ideas?
Do the recalibration test in the settings.
What is name of scrow driver ?
What's the name of that electric tool that your using?.
It’s in the video description
No, its not.
Do you do this as a service if so how much?
My daughter used a sharp plastic diamond to carve a 'love heart' into the lens on her Switch Lite. The LCD underneath works fine so it's just the lens like this which needs replacing but I don't think I could do it anywhere near as expertly as you have on this video :(
lmao
lol that’s probably what I would when I was younger
probably shouldnt of had kids then.
I do this but no picture. .help
Where can I get a heater??
I assume this works teh same way on the switch lite?
No
Where did you get the screw driver?
It's from jakemy
Will a hair blower work to? For the removal of the digitizer ?🌸
Did it work?
Do i really need to take it apart tho??
Is this pretty much the same process for the Switch Lite?
Close, I do have a video detailing the switch lite process
Would a hair dryer worked instead
Yes it would.
How come you have to take apart the whole back part in order to replace the screen? Thanks!
you have to do that to take out the old digitizer
I have scracthes on the touch screen of my Samsung galaxy J3 phone They're light scracthes. Maybe I should try using toothpaste if that works.
No it doesn't
@@VeryTastySoup87 damn.
Here to fix up a eBay display I want then use the old for mods
My switch screen got scratched from the dock. It’s so dumb
I will fix it
WHAT HAPPENEDS IF YOU DONT GET LENS AND JUST PUT IT BACK TOGETHER
Touch won’t work as the lens is the touch interface.
But then you have the controllers you can use those instead of the touch screen
If I got a single spec of dust under the screen I’d be so mad
Have you repaired a Nintendo switch before? Digitizer replacement?
@@OnGod1007 I was planning to, however, the adhesive on the shell that holds the screen in is not replaceable. Nobody has them anywhere. So I have to transfer the adhesive from one shell to the new one and it’s not worth the trouble or risk of ruining the adhesive and having a screen that doesn’t sit right.
It’s been out for years and that small adhesive strip is nowhere to be found in the aftermarket.
What no gloves gotta have the hand gloves 😮😮😂
is the Digitizer plastic or glass?
Plastic
Is Easy?
ok but what about glass cracked
Nah fam I ain’t taken apart my entire switch just to fix a few scratches
fr bruv 😭
You sure I can't just use toothpaste or something.
It seems difficult. I should get used to watch my screen scratches.
When he remove the screws under the kickstand I cringed 😭 that crackling noises is destroying his screws and the reason not to use Electric screws drivers in these things 😭
it was 2 ticks, calm down
I always put a tempered glass protector on the switch ive gone through at least 6 of them from cracks. Better cracked and scuffed a screen protector than the screen itself.
uh yeh no
just broke my switch doing this
Can u also just use toothpaste. -_-
@Pizza Chill ik and i already fixed it using my method
The worst sounds ever!!!
