I purchased an older Switch from someone on FB, cause it was cheap and I needed to guarantee itd be a hackable model. However there are a few problems with it, that I'd like to attempt fixing myself.. but I have a few questions first.
1) The left speaker doesnt work at all. I found a nice guide for replacing it.. but includes basically a full disassembly. A comment on that guide mentions that the majority of the steps possibly arent necessary. Particularly everything after removing the metal casing inside. Can anyone confirm if it's possible to replace a speaker without requiring removing EVERY component?
Here is the guide I'm referring to: https://www.sosav.com/guides/game-consoles/nintendo/nintendo-home/nintendo-switch/left-speaker/
2) How difficult is replacing ONLY the digitizer, and not the LCD underneath? Does it also require a full disassembly?
The 3DS had a plastic cover for the top screen that was easily removable/replaceable.. but I know one for the Switch screen has a ribbon cable that attaches it to the motherboard. I dont however know how difficult it is to access said ribbon cable internally
