You just have the motherboard? Or you have a switch with no screen?

If its the latter, just use a dock

In my quest to 'consolize' a switch into a Switchn't I wanted to remove the requirement for a battery.

Not much has been done to figure this out but I did find a thread on shmups in which user fwannmacher had over time figured it out after their battery failed.

First step, there are two test points next to the battery connector (on V1 and V2 switches, yet to confirm lite or oled) that are for the Sense line and GND. Putting a 10k ohm resistor across those pads makes the switch think the battery is fully charged, and will no longer try to charge it...

If you only have the motherboard you will likely need to adapt things and add things.

i have only the motherboard, but the point is to build something cheaper not something as pricey as onee with screen...

Not sure you'll find a budget friendly conversion with just the main mobo, good luck though.
