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…

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

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