    I bought this terrible condition water damaged switch off offerup as-is, and guy tells me he spilled soda all over it. It was really rough, the screen was scratched up and the backplate was really damaged. I'm going to attempt a nintendo switch restoration, and show you how to replace a switch screen, how to replace the LCD, and the joy-con rails! since we had an issue with joy-con not being detected. I also attempt to do a complete mario red switch housing swap and nintendo mario red backplate swap. but keyword on attempt there. Things did not go as planned and had to perform a switch screen replacement. This liquid damage switch is still savable though! I just need time for more parts, so stay tuned for part 2!

    Hey Jeff, This1sSeth.
    I took apart my entire switch to put it into new housing, and I found that I had the same issue with the LCD panel... at first. The ribbon connector on the motherboard needs the have the contact points all the way in, and I found it was really finicky to do so. I suggest using two sets of pliers to pull the ribbon cable into the connector with equal amount of force, it’s what solved my issue for the display turning on. Also, I had two stripped screws which I just bore the heads off of with a screw extractor kit to get the old ones out and put new rails in. I have a *slight problem of my digitizer not working but otherwise that’s how I got my switch to be fully functional; hope this helps! Great video and I can’t wait to see part 2!

    Idk if this always rings true, but for stripped screws, sometimes WD-40 sets it straight. And as a child I was prone to breaking a lot of my devices and when I got old enough to know that I liked the stuff I was breaking I tried repairing them, so I would often come across stripped screws. I want to say about anywhere between 4-7 years ago, I decided to use WD-40 to loosen screws that have been stripped.
