[Hacking] Use v2 Switch screen on v1 Switch?

[NotGeoffIsGeoff]

Is it possible to use a v2 switch screen on a v1 switch? I have a bricked v2 switch and a working v1 switch and I want to swap out the screen if it's possible. Thanks in advance!

The connectors are completely different. Check here:

The Game Card has to match as well.

Not even a close fit…

This is old but it’s not true you can use v1 screens on a v2 if you need proof I can send a pic if it dosent work at first try to reset the touch screen on hekate works like a charm

It's only the digitizer/touch screen differences. They have mix uses in v2 or v1 with those 2 types touch screen. Quite misleading from Vender side from beginning and misinfo flooded everywhere saying v2 or v1 touch screen incompatible but turned out even Big N mixed them up sometime and reprogrammed the FT9J chip to match the assembled result.

@binkinator is correct, there are multiple version lcd and gamecart, you have to get matching version to work.

This thread is old now? Why bump it?

I’ve tried 4 different games card readers and they all worked for both v1 and v2 digitizers

Got them from v1 and v2 switchs

It is because you used hekate, it doesn't count if you use Hekate to recalibrate.
