I really appreciate your videos! I am not repairing anything at this time. But i like watching because i never know when i will be! I like to review your Steps and Cautions, again, right before i do it. Gives me a great reminder of all the tiny things!

Thanks a lot for the info. I managed to replace the left joystick by myself guiding with your video but I was nervous. I had to be careful of not damaging the cables 'cause it wouldn't work later. But thanks again your video was very helpful 😇.

Thank you so much!! I'm a 25yo girl that knows nothing about those things and this tutorial truly saved me!! It was really easy to follow and thanks to your tips I didn't damage anything. My nintendo switch lite is as good as new!! <3

thankyou for the help! i managed to complete the repair but broke off the speaker connector 😅for the next person that is doing this just be super careful!!

This was a helpful video, but I won't lie, the sped up/incompleted ending was really annoying. I have no idea what I'm doing with electronics but I followed this and was able to complete the joystick replacement perfectly...and then right as the video ended, all my problems started. 🤣
Trying to get the back casing on made the battery plug shift a micrometer and that's all it took for me to lose battery power, and when I finally figured that out, the case won't seal correctly. There's a wedge along the right side that I cannot get straight, and I ain't opening this bitch back up. Helpful video though dude, thank you.

Thank you! I followed your guidance and replaced the joystick. My daughter thanks you as well.

Will there be a video for the right stick as well? Oh and another question. Should you replace the thermal paste when removing the heat pipe?

[catkidz]

Thanks for the walkthrough saved me some money $$ 🙏🏻🙏🏻

The speaker works, but my screen is all black

[MacGamingRevolution]

Would it be possible to do it without removing the thermal shield and using plastic, non conductive tools as I don't have any thermal paste?

[DMod-slap]

Well I did everything but now the switch won't power on.. I even plugged power cable in and still nothing..

original analogic joycon fit on switch lite too?

Thats called joystick and not Joy-Con. Joy-Con is the name of the entire detachable controller.
