Hello, I scratched my Switch's screen and front part pretty badly, so I searched on eBay for a replacement screen and body and couldn't find anything. I was wondering if anyone knows a place where I can find replacement parts for the Switch. Thanks in advance!

It's a bit early for third party replacements for it. What you might need to do is to find out whom developed the screen. Then find the correct code for the screen and search on Ebay or Alibaba.

EDIT: It seems actually you can just change the plastic cover, they aren't fused together like phones are.
EDIT2: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Replacem...over-for-Nintendo-Switch-Console/162558995956
EDIT3: Search for "house shell nintendo switch" and you get a load of results! Good luck!

This seems to be what you are looking for.

You are correct. For the first time in a Nintendo handheld's history, the covering screen is also a digitizer. The bottom screens were just screens with no protection on the 3DS, but the outer screen on the Switch is like a cellphone, which is a clear touch pad on top of an actual screen more or less.

Unfortunately OP, I don't think Nintendo will replace the console for minor scratches. It would have to stop being functional probably.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.

    @BigOnYa, Lol I bought a new USB card reader thing on AliExpress last month for I think like 87 cents. Free shipping from China... It arrived it works and honestly I don't understand how it was so cheap.
