Maybe they thought it was a wall switch and was trying to figure out how it could work in a house... After that was a fail . . . They went with plan b. They looked up it's most common problem and posted it as a "easy fix" on fleabay. (just randomly made up that, but It could be possable)

Great video Steve. This Switch was 100% liquid damaged at some point, and probably why the trace was burnt on the ribbon. Also likely that the back-light was burnt out because of the high voltage it was subject to. What I tend to do sometimes is split the screen layers and replace just the back-light, and frankenstein 2 screens together to make one good screen. Works great if you're careful separating the screen 😁

Great video, as always! I did saved a Switch lite just a month after they got released. The person tried to install some modchip of some sort and screwed it up. So, I undid what he had done, replaced broken, poped, capacitors on the nvidia APU, replaced the charge IC and other overheated caps and saved the poor thing. My kids have been using it ever since, but I really thought I wouldn't get it done without schematics. Again, we should all save electronics like you do!

The layer you removed was polarised glass / or plexi. LCD normally is bright and invisible to the naked eye. Polarised glass or / plexi is used not only to make LCD viewable to the naked eye but also inverts the image. If you took a calculator with a standard LCD screen and took the top layer glass off you would not see the image well but turning the glass upside down would invert the image so you had a black background with light symbols apposed too the standard bright back ground and dark symbols we are all accustomed too. I did this to my calculators to make them look cool and different :)

Great video but I gotta ask. Knowing that the teal switches screen was the culprit, wouldn't it have been less work and less risk to just put the working components from to teal switch into the grey one? I understand that this is an instructional video, It just seems like a lot of unnecessary work at the risk of 2 broken switches. If you had a similar problem in the future would you do it differently now that you have this video out, showing how to replace the screen?

I'd do it exactly the same. The point wasn't to do a repair as fast or efficiently as possible. The point was to make a good video that people would want to watch.
