Hardware Switch koed ?

Hi everyone,

A friend of mine just drop his Nintendo switch.
Everything still works but the screen in portable mode doesn't work really well.
Games are OK btw (handheld mode or docked).
Is his Switch pure garbage now or maybe it's just the screen ?

Thanks.

If the, screen doesn't have any crack, maybe it could be just the flat cables. Open it up and reseat them.

No cracks here, maybe as you say it's just the cable or maybe just the screen to change ?

 

[toxic9]

what is the symptom? is it dark?

The backlight seems to be broken. Since this is just a bunch of LED's, it might be one of the cable that is not fitted correctly.
If the backlight actually broke, then a replacement screen should fix this.

looks like the backlight snapped out of the screen housing

In fact everything else is working so you're probably right.
I guess a screen replacement should be enough.

Thanks dudes !
