Hello! This is my first time writing something like this, so please bear with me. Also, I'm only 17 with parents who do not know much about this so I would appreciate any input! : )
The other day I modded my switch lite with a new shell. The issue is now it does not turn on. I followed an instructional video after hours of research so I'm sure I did not do anything too bad. Plus this is not my first time putting a shell on something, I did so on a Play Station controller, so I am somewhat experienced.
The real problem is that I do not know what went wrong and why it isn't turning on. The screen lights up and that is about it since it stays a solid black(?), therefore I only know that the battery works and can still hold a charge. I believe the issue lies within the screen or the motherboard.
Would my best bet be to:
A) Change the shell to the original and send it back to Nintendo for them to repair, even though I'm past warranty. Once Nintendo opens up the switch they would know I tampered with it and the price is an issue since I have no clue what they charge past warranty.
B) Get a third party to diagnose the issue. The only problem I have with this is the price and I'm scared if I pay for them to fix it and it still does not work.
(This way I would get to keep the mod since I really do like it and I don't really want to give it up)
C) Buy a new one. This would be my last option if all else fails, but I'm beginning to think this may not be a bad idea. Since I reside in Canada the price for basic things, such as battery replacement is crazy expensive. So if the issue was more complicated, for example, the CPU was damaged I'm 90% sure the cost would be upwards of $150 CAD, in which case it would be cheaper to buy a new switch with my mom's shoppers points because it will be approx $135 CAD after-tax when they have their points cash in the event every once in a while.
The only thing that is stopping is the mod/colour I already have. I know it's a superficial thing to be concerned about but I find it important because I like all my things to match (OCD) and it can sometimes make me really uncomfortable when there are too many differences between my things.
I truly don't know what to do, so if you read through all of this, thank you!! T-T
