Nintendo Switch Lite Digitizer Replacement

Introduction

Follow this guide to replace a cracked or damaged digitizer on the Nintendo Switch Lite. This repair does not require removing the joysticks or buttons, but it makes the repair much easier.

The Switch Lite uses JIS screws, but you can use a Phillips screwdriver in a pinch. Be very careful not to strip the screws. iFixit's Phillips bits are designed to be cross-compatible with JIS-style screws.

Note: This guide is for the digitizer only. If the LCD stopped working, you may just need to replace it, rather than the digitizer. If you are replacing the screen (the LCD attached to the digitizer) follow this guide.

Note: This procedure requires removing the shield plate and heat sink. The thermal paste will need to be cleaned off of both components—as well as the CPU—and reapplied before reinstalling the shield plate and heat sink.

Great guide, but quick tip when removing the screen. There are two pieces of the screen sandwiched together and when I took mine apart, these two pieces came unstuck and ruined the screen itself. The digitizer was fine, but the LCD came apart. So make sure the opening pick gets under both of these parts rather than just the reflective back.

Bridger Caicedo - Réponse

I bought this Switch Lite with a broken LCD to repair and sell, so the screen was already blown out, but I had the same issue. The LCD was still connected to the digitizer and it actually peeled the LCD apart. As I said earlier, the LCD was already broke so it wasn’t a big issue, but I would of been fairly angry if it hadn’t of been.

Matthew D. H. -

it looks like it might be possible to do steps 1 - 10, then step 28, then steps 66 onwards, and reverse to reassemble, the guide isn’t clear why it would be required to do a full tear down, is there something that would make this method not work or more likely to cause further damage, if I’m just switching out the digitizer, pun intended.. :) ?

Johnmichael Quinlan - Réponse

Were I to guess, I would say that the full teardown guide is meant to apply to any, and all, scenarios, regardless of any unmentioned issues that a user may have.

Another possibility is that if a user has a damaged digitizer from a drop, or other type of impact(s); then by performing a full teardown, they may discover other elements in need of repair.
