100 times easier than the joy-cons and back of switch. Thanks for this tutorial very helpful even though there is no talking. Good quality product too feels really soft.
Thank you for this video. It was very easy to follow. Also thank you for showing how to reassemble it. Most mod vids just expect ppl to reverse engineer it.
We have the scarlet red for this front plate, but it's out of stock on Amazon currently, please wait a couple of days, or you please but it from here gamingcobra.com/products/red-custom-faceplate-for-nintendo-switch-charging-dock-soft-touch-grip-diy-replacement-housing-shell-for-nintendo-switch-dock-dock-not-included-fdp303?_pos=1&_sid=b8d524330&_ss=r
All of the shell mods for the Switch are a pain in the fuckin' ass, but this one is the least anxiety-inducing. I guess you should start here if you're thinking about modding your Switch, but I can't recommend it if you have shaky hands or anxiety...'cause you'll damn sure have both afterwards.
Is there any trick or secret to taking the white power cable out of the connector on the board? I tried with some fine-tipped tweezers, but all it was doing was chewing up the plastic, and I was worried that I was going to accidentally pull out one of the wires 😰😰😰
@@TRTSPODCAST We just did the video show. Better to find someone for help, 2 hands grab the mainboard and flex, the other 2 hands position and finish the snaps
(100% NOT the products fault, they make great products) The LED light on the dock won’t work now. Is there any way to test if it’s just broken? It was working before I switched. It’s put back correct. And is there anyway to buy them from you?
Hi, if you are sure the LED was broken, please let us know your order number via email to info@extremerate.com with your shipping address and TH-cam name, we will send the replacement dock LED for you (the one that comes with our Firefly LED kit, not the original one) :)
I reconnected everything led lights works, hdmi is working able to connect my switch to the tv but I noticed it’s not charging while on the dock. Am I doing something wrong?
oled switches have a different build than the normal one, but it shouldnt be that different but i recommend checking another tutorial for the oled build just for safety measures
This is not an easy thing to do. I spent a few hours trying to get the blue tipped ribbon back in. Only do this if you have steady hands and good patience.
Yeah it's just not worth it... It's not face plate did anything different or made it look anything better to go through all that trouble.... It's better than just get skins..
Shit product, the cover they sent me is off on measurements and I can't slide the dock back on. The T shaped pieces inside their product are off by 1 millimeter so it doesn't lock in cleanly.
@@ExtremeRate it was the pink pearly colored one. I had to get a dremal and manually shave down b those T shapes since I had already taken the dock apart and even after that the edges still needed to be forced in a little when the original case sits flush easily. Very annoyed that the measurements were off that I had to shave it down.
@@Da5thProject Do you mean this color? www.amazon.com/dp/B082HFBPTK The shell was painted so the paints may possibly increase the dimension of the shell. Do you want another one to try again?
@@ExtremeRate yes it was that color and no it was not the paint. The plastic parts themselves were too high up by one millimeter. I literally grabbed a drill/dremal and shave it manually until it fit.

Thanks for your feedback!!! :D
Thank you. Missed a step and found this video to help put it back together. Simple why perfect hands I've ever seen
:D
@stacks did you comment on his hands being perfect? 🤣🤣
@@jarodnorth7134lol no I didn't notice
omg redoing the WHOLE switch joy_cons and dock is so much easier then I thought, I will be doing it soon
They are not that difficult, but also not that easy, but follow the video step by step I'm sure you will make it! ;)

Thank you for this video. It was very easy to follow. Also thank you for showing how to reassemble it. Most mod vids just expect ppl to reverse engineer it.
You are most welcome :)
Thank you so much! I did it with my mum and it was a great experience with you in the background :)
You are most welcome!!!
Took me a while because that one set of cables just absolutely would not come out, but I now have the SNES model Switch I always dreamed of. ♥️
Great tutorial and kudos to the dj. I floated off to space for a minute.
I wish it had a voiceover. Going to give this a try now.
Just finished with this and doing the joy cons and backing to the switch I think it’s safe to say I’m a Surgeon now lol
Yes, Dr. Evans
Just installed mine and it looks amazing! Thanks for the help!
Congrats!!!
Any chance you'll do more colors? I'd totally buy one to match the dark matte metallic red shells I recently installed from you guys.

Do you guys have any plans to make a shell replacement for the rest of the dock in the future?
Not at this moment
what is that white and blue ribbon under the cpu chip because I mangled tf out of it
What do you mean exactly? Do you mean you break the slot of the ribbon?
I did my whole switch in pink and this is now my last step. I wish everything could be switched out for a whole pink case.
Sorry, we only have tje pink faceplate for the Dock..
I hope these guys make an oled version
Nice and clear.
Thanks, installed easily.👏👏
Love these videos

For me, I just use my fingernails (thumb and index finger) to take it out, just do it slowly
ok who else got triggered when they put their bear hands on the mother board
I want to turn my white oled dock purple or black i just simple don't like the white due to stainability 😅
The ribbon cable is what makes it work right?
Is there a kit to replace the entire Dock? Not just the faceplate.
Stupid ribbon cable compartment won't snap into place
Yes it's too short
@@ExtremeRate what did you do to fix just keep slidding it in until it snaps?
@@TRTSPODCAST We just did the video show. Better to find someone for help, 2 hands grab the mainboard and flex, the other 2 hands position and finish the snaps
is it work with the switch oled dock if not please do one for switch oled dock
I have a question, can you make a custom design on the faceplate? For instance, if I had an image I wanted to be printed there.
So cool!
Do you have a tutorial on how to change the entire dock shells?
I think you can change the entire dock shells with this video
@@ExtremeRate Oh. Okay. Thank you
@@SweetMelaninn You are welcome :)
@@ExtremeRate Did it and it's amazing. Ty for your help via the video!
can you do a sakura paw backing plate?
Which backing plate do you mean?
Pls help that little white port with the red & black cord ( I don’t know what it’s called. The red wire popped off. And I’m freaking out.

I thought I did everything correctly, but now my switch won’t charge. The light turns on but it won’t charge. What did I do wrong?
Would this solve a bent dock?
Not sure, this is just the faceplate of the Dock, as you can see the details in the video
@@ExtremeRate right I just thought if this is straight and most of the front of the dock is the faceplate it may solve the issue
@@mattterrell4304 Our faceplates are straight :)
@@ExtremeRate I have absolutely no doubt about that lol
@@mattterrell4304 lol
Do you only sell on amazon?
www.gamingcobra.com
Would you say this is easier or harder to do than the joycon shells?
MUCH easier!
I reconnected everything led lights works, hdmi is working able to connect my switch to the tv but I noticed it’s not charging while on the dock. Am I doing something wrong?
Same. Mine won't charge or even come up on my monitor 😒
Please make sure the flex cable was plugged correctly.
@@SweetMelaninn Please double check to make sure if the flex cable was plugged correctly.
@@ExtremeRate I'm pretty sure it is
works for oled switch?
oled switches have a different build than the normal one, but it shouldnt be that different but i recommend checking another tutorial for the oled build just for safety measures
Uhm I snapped the red wire is there any way to fix that
The wire of the LED?
I just did the same thing. Were you able to fix it?
@@benjaminwalters1770 If you mean the wire of the LED, then you need to buy a new one
r u the extremerate on aliexpress ? Just to confirm
This is our Aliexpress store extremerate.aliexpress.com/
@@ExtremeRate can you make me a custom one ? will it cost more ?
@@ExtremeRate because I dont think my evangelion case will look good while docked
, in a custom case of course
@@b07-gabrielchristophers.85 Sorry we are not doing customized service.
This is not an easy thing to do. I spent a few hours trying to get the blue tipped ribbon back in. Only do this if you have steady hands and good patience.
That's true.
my face plate literally won't come off, they lift it off so easily, is anyone else having this issue?
Please check the video again
Easy.
Yeah it's just not worth it... It's not face plate did anything different or made it look anything better to go through all that trouble.... It's better than just get skins..
:)
Well this fucking thing eXtremely ruined my nintendo switch dock.
What happened? Please let us know the issue and we will assist you to fix it.

Sorry to know that. What color have you got?
@@ExtremeRate it was the pink pearly colored one. I had to get a dremal and manually shave down b those T shapes since I had already taken the dock apart and even after that the edges still needed to be forced in a little when the original case sits flush easily.
Very annoyed that the measurements were off that I had to shave it down.
@@Da5thProject Do you mean this color? www.amazon.com/dp/B082HFBPTK The shell was painted so the paints may possibly increase the dimension of the shell. Do you want another one to try again?
@@ExtremeRate yes it was that color and no it was not the paint. The plastic parts themselves were too high up by one millimeter. I literally grabbed a drill/dremal and shave it manually until it fit.
Mine doesn't fit either. I got the woodgrain.
