New digitizer, new shell (preferably transparent), new Joy-Con shells + dust cleaning and application of new thermal paste and its good as new.

yea i got a new digitizer, and a black shell with grey joycons was 15dollars cheaper actually than transprrent and everything is back as new.
just need to finilize and swap the thermal paste and for the joycons the r/l buttons .
and its good as new.

You know, I got my first computer when I was 7 which was a Spectrum 48K. Then I got a Commodore 64, then a Master System, Gameboy Classic and many more as the years progressed, and I looked after each and every one of them. It baffles me how kids of today take such bad care of their systems. I never played any of mine with greasy hands, I put them in cases inbetween playtime (if they were handheld). But this thing right here, I feel like I should be paying my last respects to it and then helping you carry it to a shallow grave.

On the upside, the Switch was rated on ifixit as being very easy and modular to repair / refurbish so I guess for a short sum you could have it looking half decent again.

its brand new all it needed was analog swaps digitizer and a full housingrefurbed for 40 dollars not bad

Nice one, your owning it, but at the end the whole money you spent probably could also be enough for a mint condition used switch with nothing requiring...

If you use a real good thermal paste, try to see the difference for your original...

Someone did extra cooling mods and on Zelda the forest part around the master sword it incredibly removed all the lag he had completely, mine run that part super sluggish, but my Zelda is also on first version, the updates improved a lot, but it still laggs a bit there.

This tells that Switch might actually be thermal throttling either because of heat or misadjusted thermals like some laptops seem to underclock at very low temps probably to be more comfortable and less hot when typing or whatever...

Same here bro... I hate even touching my friends PS4 controllers or whatever, they are full of grease.

And kids aren't careful nowadays. Like a friend bought a vita crap 4 his kid he scratched deep the screen then broke the joystick...

Then they scratch the PC\TV LCD on purpose and start type things with pens very deep beyond repairable... Stupid Next-Gen .

well still nice to clean up a dead beaten one.

you know i paid 100 dollars for it with a game. so thats a good deal
after repairs and a charger it cost me 150-160 with the game.

the console in my country retails for 400 dollars new usually after taxes.
i already own one but heck as long as it costs me 1/3 of the new i wouldnt drop it.

and it can be my dummy, im thinking of using sx pro on it. and leaving my 1.0 for atmosphere.

I work in a school providing IT Support and we've got apple macs, ipads, PCs and thin client PCs and the kids fuck them up on a daily basis. Kids of today just don't seem to respect technology, it's very much a throwaway society..."Oh well, I'll fuck this one up and they'll just get me another". My Vita's screen is spotless and I play that daily on my lunch and frequently give the screen a wipe over with screen cleaner and a lint free cloth. As for controllers, I'm exactly the same. I remember when I was a kid, whenever I invited my mates over to play my consoles I'd tell them to go and wash their hands first. I was stung on a couple of occasions and thought never again. They'd leave your controllers sticky / greasy and it was proper rife. I want to pick up a controller that has been well looked after, not something that looks like it's been used as a dog toy.

yea todays kids dont seem to bother much actually.

the switch i got was beaten to death

honestly i was disgusted to open it, untill i cleaned that bad boy up

I almost never sell my stuff, but when I sell, they are always in mint condition and with full box, accessories (warranty pappers and the store ticket) and I even clean them with alcohol (depending on what it is) and try to put everything the way I unboxed it for the first time so that they feel like they are buying it new...

However I mostly only sold things for close friends at very low prices as I really don't usually sell my stuff...

But I fixed my old Xperia Z2 and sold to a friend and it went with no scratches, brand new screen, brand new silicon case and brand new screen glass protector for 90€... I had paid like 140€ for the phone with broken digitizer a few years ago and paid almost 80€ for the screen replacement, but the phone didnt turn on it seems like it has some protection, so only recently someone found a way to bypass it with tiny soldering ... It was working fine when it came, but touch was not working. However after changing screen it only gave 3 red lights and no boot... But the phone could install the firmware and everything fine, just didnt turn ON...

Since I don't know what I was actually soldering and if it will last and the touch was locking randomly, though rarely (but, I only tested the phone for months with it open and no screws just for testing purposes, now it might be fixed after full assembly), so I sold it cheap, and anyway prices drop for the phone anyway, but I explained my friend about the touch locking and what I did and even give him around 6months warranty if he ever want the money back he just need to give me the phone back and I will give him the money as long as he doesnt scratch it or break it like dropping in the ground...
