Introduction
Follow this guide to replace a damaged or faulty headphone jack and game card reader in the Nintendo Switch game console.
Note: Removing the heat sink will make it easier to remove the headphone jack and game card reader, but it’s not required. If you remove the heat sink, be sure to clean off the thermal paste from both components—as well as the CPU—and reapply new paste before you install the shield plate and heat sink.

If your new game card reader doesn’t work after you boot up the device, turn it back off and disconnect and reconnect the battery connector.
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

It worked, thanks
After changing the board out, I don’t have touch on the screen, put the original PCB back in the console and i have touch again, so its not that I did any damage to the flexes or ZIF connector. Any one have any ideas?
Hey man, did you ever figure this out? I have the exact same issue. My touchscreen is no longer working.
Seems there are different kinds of card slots, European, American and Japanese, Installing for example an Eurean version into an American version wil result in a not working touchscreen , i think it`s a software issue as the cardslot had same parts, if anyone finds a workaround please let us know
Nintendo does not like aftermarket replacement part. Get original second hand and will be ok
