Filled with anxiety about home repairs? So am I! Here’s how to fix a cracked back on a Nintendo Switch (and how I felt about the whole process), from a total non-expert. I’m a DIY amateur just like most of you.

just buy a new backplate…
Is That Tai Lopez?
Well done. I’m not technical myself so I totally relate. 😂
What an exaggeration… You better not play on that thing if you’re gonna be so obsessive.
Those things are meant to be use. Nothing lasts forever. Get over it. Just enjoy it and don’t act like a maniac.
Do you really have to follow ifixit tutorials for replace back pannel ?! 🤦🏻♂️
Lemme guess; you Googled it…
Wait… you were upset about THAT ‘crack’…LOL…oh my.…
Is that a home-made mask you’re disassembling on?
I like that you started off taking the blame off of your child, and admitting that you may have rushed to judgment about the cause of the crack. Being a parent is tough, you just showed how great you are at it 👍!
lame as f… and considering that comes from CNET why im not surprised
You can use soldering iron to melt broken piece back on
flextape
You definitely didn’t need to cut that tab off.
you should do this for a living
Replaces broken backplate with a new backplate then damages it to make it fit lol ok…
I could legit do this with my eyes closed.… lol.….
Hi
Mine has a crack. But it still works fine. I’ll fix it off it stops working.
You really should get a magnet mat for screw organizing and labeling. It’s only $8 on amazon. Or a magnetic dish.
To fix it is easy! It’s called GLUE!!!
I don’t think the whiskey will help with the repair.
Is that a MacBook air or pro?
the switch is so cheaply made. it seems like the grill on the heat vent can become brittle after using it for a while.
Does anyone know if there were plans for a successor to the original switch? I tried buying one 2 months ago, but everywhere was sold out in stores and online. Now the only places who have it are Ebay and amazon, but the prices are $450-$570. Quarantine is starting to get to me and I wanted a switch to kill time.
Nice. Good job!
On the scriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin
Or you can take it to Best Buy they fixed mine
Treated mine perfectly and I have the same crack.
I have the same problem. I never dropped my Switch. This was a problem being reported by people for years due to the heat of the Switch. Look it up the same spot cracks for a bunch of people. Mine is cracked in the same exact spot. Trash Nintendo should fix this for free.
A bunch of first version switches got a crack there i think it was something to do with heat issue. It wasnt your kid though.
*mine cracked but has protector on the screen*
I wish there was an easy fix for the extremely brittle heat vent grill at the top! —
To have to take the whole switch apart is ridiculous.
I had the exact same crack
