Introducción

Sigue esta guía para sustituir una batería vieja y degradada en la consola Nintendo Switch.

El Switch utiliza tornillos JIS, pero puedes usar un destornillador Phillips si no tienes otra opción. Se muy cuidadoso de no barrer los tornillos. Las puntas Phillips de iFixit estas diseñadas para ser compatibles con tornillos estilo JIS.

Cuando retires la placa de protección, tendrás que sustituir el compuesto térmico entre la placa y el disipador. Dado que la pasta térmica normal no está diseñada para salvar grandes espacios, el sustituto más cercano es la pasta térmica viscosa K5 Pro.

Esta guía, y la pieza que vendemos, son compatibles con el modelo original de Nintendo Switch lanzado en 2017, así como con el modelo renovado más reciente lanzado en 2019 (números de modelo HAC-001 y HAC-001(-01), respectivamente).

Por tu seguridad, descarga la batería por debajo del 25% antes de desmontar tu Switch. Esto reduce el riesgo de una posibilidad de incendio si la batería se daña accidentalmente durante la reparación. Si su batería está hinchada, tome las precauciones adecuadas.

Nota: Cuando retires la placa de escudo, tendrás que reemplazar el compuesto térmico entre la placa y el disipador. Dado que la pasta térmica normal no está diseñada para salvar grandes espacios, el sustituto más cercano es la pasta térmica viscosa K5 Pro.

    • Antes de comenzar esta reparación, asegúrate de que el dispositivo está completamente apagado.

    • Mantén pulsado el pequeño botón redondo de la parte trasera del mando Joy Con.

    • Mientras mantienes pulsado el botón, desliza el mando hacia arriba.

    • Continúa deslizando el control hacia arriba hasta sacarlo completamente de la consola.

    • Repite este mismo proceso para el otro control.

    • Utiliza un destornillador Y00 para retirar los cuatro tornillos de 6.3mm de longitud que sujetan el panel trasero.

    • A lo largo de esta reparación, mantén un registro de cada tornillo y asegúrate de que vuelve exactamente al mismo lugar de origen.

    Had to use a Y0 from my kit - the Y00 was too small to get a grip on the screw.

    cday -

    I also had a much easier time with Y0 versus Y00. Y00 felt like it was starting to strip the first screw I tried to remove.

    Joe -

    My screws took a little coaxing before they were all ready to come out of the back plate, but I remedied this by turning the screwdriver as little as possible with each turn. Use almost no pressure, except for at the very beginning of each screw’s first turn.

    nin10doh -

    I think my screws are stripped, any way to get them out?

    Banjomanperson -

    I hear that using a rubber band can help? Not 100% sure on that though.

    • Utiliza un destornillador JIS 000 o un destornillador PH000 oficial de iFixit para retirar los siguientes tornillos que fijan el panel trasero:

    • Un tornillo de 2.5 mm de longitud en el borde superior del aparato.

    • Dos tornillos de 2.5 mm de longitud en el borde inferior del aparato

    • Para prevenir estos tornillos duros de barrerse, aplica presión firme hacia abajo, ve despacio y trata de usar un destornillador JIS 000 o PH 000 si los tornillos no salen.

    Hey guys, I tried removing the upper screw and it won't go out(neither will it go in) any tips how to fix this?

    Thanks

    Nemysis -

    The screw boss might be stripped out. Has the device been taken apart before? If you can unscrew it a little bit to get the screw to peek out, maybe try and grab it with some pliers as a last-ditch effort.

    Craig Lloyd -

    I have the same problem. The JIS 000 tool works great on the joy con rails per step 5 but refuses to turn the bottom two 2.5 mm screws as in step 4. These bottom screws are noticeably smaller than the screws as in step 5. The JIS 000 does not get down into these screws. Hopefully they haven’t been stripped by the wrong tool. So is there a JIS tool that is smaller than 000? I’m stuck at this point…

    david brown -

    We used the JIS 3.0mm screwdriver for both top and bottom screws and it worked

    Brooklyn Gardner -

    Used PH00 to get these out with no problem.

    cday -

    Fun fact: these screw into little plastic tabs that stick out of the rear panel. Apparently those tabs are fragile and easy to just break off…

    Benjamin Fritz -

    My screws came out fine. But they are easily stripped with too much pressure on reassmbly

    Jaxon Lee -

    this screws are way too fragile and way too small so be careful when taking them off dont use much force and unscrew also one of them fell somewhere and spent 30 mins searching for it

    Richard Aguirre -

    PH000 will work if you don’t have JIS000. The large IFIXIT kit has both and I lost JIS000. Just be very careful as you can strip the heads when removing or inserting easier.

    Shawn Spivey -

    One thing that worked pretty well for me with the screws not coming out is slightly prying on the back cover to put them under some tension

    Florian Kraupa -

    Quick note, these screws are not magnetic. A magnetic screwdriver will hold onto any of the others safely, but you need to be careful not to drop these ones in particular.

    Jason Lane -

    These would just keep rotating and not come out. What worked was, as Florian Kraupa suggested, i slid a plastic pick just between the 2 shells near the screws to prise it open slightly, then unscrewed and out they came. They're the smallest screws I've ever almost not seen before, so be careful with them.

    • Usa un destornillador JIS 000 o un destornillador PH 000 oficial de iFixit para retirar los dos tornillos centrales de 3.8 mm situados en los laterales del aparato (uno en cada lado).

    I tried my JIS 000 on Step 5 and was unable to get the screw to budge. It’s partner from the other side came right out with no trouble. Don’t really want to narf up the screw, so I bailed out. Anyone else have this issue?

    mrhoyt -

    Could just be torqued down a bit more! I’d recommend making sure the driver bit seats nicely into the screw, apply some downward pressure, and slowly twist to try and back it out. Good luck!

    Craig Lloyd -

    Yeah I’m having this exact issue. Screw stripped and now I’m stuck. Wish I hadn’t even started.

    Ryan Quinn -

    I did finally get it out- one thing I noticed was some of the screws have blue Loctite on the threads. I guess they figure it’ll get tossed around. This underscores the importance of having the correct tools and making double darn sure you are using the correct size, etc.

    mrhoyt -

    What worked for me here was a Phillips 000, not a JIS 000

    Federico Zivolo -

    One of mine is totally stripped. Guess I can’t do anything now.

    Nick -

    My kit only has two screwdriver heads! The package was open when I received it!

    Cynthia Hyland -

    I had this issue as well. Screw was irreparably stripped. If you can get every other screw out, just keep applying pressure with a flat head screw driver right above the stripped screw and try to break the plastic piece holding onto the screw. It's a very minor invisible bit of damage that will allow you to continue the repair.

    • Usa tu dedo para levantar el soporte de la parte trasera del dispositivo.

    • Si hay una tarjeta microSD en la ranura para tarjetas microSD, sácala ahora antes de continuar con el siguiente paso.

    Don't put your SD card on your magnetic mat.

    • Abre la solapa del cartucho de tarjetas de juego.

    • La solapa del cartucho de la tarjeta de juego se adhiere a la otra mitad de la carcasa de plástico, lo que impide levantar completamente el panel trasero si está cerrado.

    • Levanta el panel trasero desde la parte inferior del dispositivo y retíralo.

    • Utiliza tus dedos o unas pinzas para levantar el lector de tarjetas microSD directamente del dispositivo para desconectarlo y retirarlo.

    • Al volver a montarlo, asegúrate de que el conector a presión situado debajo de la almohadilla de espuma esté firmemente conectado a la placa base. Podría resultarte más fácil si retiras dicha almohadilla antes de reinstalar el lector de tarjetas.

    Yes. The reverse is not so simple- you can’t see what you’re doing when you attempt to reconnect and it only takes one small error to completely bend the contacts on the connector. Very delicate.

    if you very gently remove the foam pad sticker, you can at least see better how it lines up and can feel your way to a degree… then you can stick the pad back in. The pad seems pretty critical in keeping things in place once reassembled.

    holmzee -

    Definitely agree about not sticking the foam pad back on until the new SD card slot is connected. Saved a lot of headache. Great walkthrough and easy repair!

    Jonathan Stachewicz -

    Tried several times to replace this SD reader module. As mentioned above, the issue is aligning the connectors together. It appears the foam tape is being used to hold the connection in place. (assuming you can make a viable connection) I am rather surprised at this design. In my experience, mylar ribbon cables like this usually slide into a small PC mounted socket. It appears Nintendo went the cheap route here. This design is prone to failure since it does not enable a positive connection - at least from what I can see.

    Bill Little -

    Alors je suis en détresse total . Jai cassé les bouches en or sur le connecteur qui est soudé sur la carte mère.. comment changer cette toute petite pièces, oû la trouver . Cela fais 1 mois que je cherche partout. Sans remplacer la carte mère. Merci pour vos réponses

    Mike Snow -

    I found it easier to connect it without the black foam pad so I could see and than add the foam pad over it. It was super easy and I an I 33 Mom doing this for my son. Was well worth the money for the kit saved us almost 100 bucks

    Katherine Harrison -

    Had my son follow this guide to fix his own switch where the ad card reader didn't work. And he did. Great instructions!!!! Thanks a million!

    William Scott -

    The only difficult part of following this guide is connecting the new sd card reader into the poorly designed motherboard connector. Its quite possible the sd card reader that came in the console wasnt broken at all.

    The repair kit works just as advertised and even comes with stickers.

    Matthias_ Links -

    I’m still getting error 2002-2054 even after replacing memory card reader module. Thanks, Nintendo!

    Wes Stephenson -

    My switch won’t read my microSD card after I reassembled it (error 2016-0641) please help!

    Nate Topical -

    Tip: Keep the old SD reader piece loosely attached while you line up and gently press the new SD component into the connector on the motherboard. Once the new piece is snug, then carefully remove the old piece keeping the sticky foam in place.

    I am a middle-aged mom with absolutely no special tech skills and I easily followed the directions and successfully fixed the broken SD drive. ifixit is the best!

    Wende David -

    Ah good! i have more confidence now in doing it once you said you're a middle age mom with no experience

    Mohammad Hosein Yavari -

    I missed this bit about reconnecting the SD card reader under the foam pad and didn’t realise until my son pointed out a data storage problem?. All fixed in about 5 minutes taking advice from the replacing the SD card reader fix, especially removing the foam pad from the connector to better see and feel what you’re doing. All sorted!

    Stuart Farquharson-Roberts -

    Awesome guide! Very easy to do with the supplied kit

    cravenkeo khamone -

    Tank you very much, and by tank I mean M1 Abrams, jokes apart easy and simple to follow

    Elia Veschi -

    Thanks for the guide, I was struggling to find a solution, replaced more sd cards, before I stumbled upon this post. The Switch of my children works flawless again!

    Robert Morvai -

    Doesn’t work! I have spent 4 hours and $26 on a tiny screwdriver and some stickers.. I just gave up and replaced the Switch instead.

    I even contacted a local shop to have them fix it and they told me it really isn’t possible. Thanks for taking my money Ifixit!

    J.R. Wood -

    This helped me to reseat my SD card reader ribbon cable. I was getting the 2016-0641 error and no card work. A drop had dislodged the cable partially. And yes remove the foam pad gently to properly connect the cable. You can reuse the foam pad.

    Kris Morey -

    For anyone who ends up bending the pins like I did while trying to reseat the microSD card reader…

    I suggest gently placing very thin tweezers (like the curved ones in the Pro Tool Kit) in the gap and very, very gently pressing them back into alignment. Took a little effort but I was able to realign them enough to sit it in place and have it later working after reassembling the console.

    Yakarot Sennin -

    Anyone have a suggestion where I can purchase replacement foam for this sticker?

    Rob M -

    When reassembling, note the alignment pins in the left and bottom notches before tightening the screw

    Jason Lane -

    Super gemakkelijk te installeren met behulp van deze zeer duidelijke handleiding (met dank aan de vertalers!)

    Wel even goed opletten op de aansluiting op het moederbord is zeer fragiel.

    R de Bruijne -

    It is key to remember most out of the box issues with the SD card reader, do not require a replacement part and can be solved with disconnecting then re-connecting the reader at the motherboard.

    Only when a simple re-seating at the connector doesn't work should you buy the replacement part.

    Jonathon Sinclair -

    I bought the kit and followed the directions. I plucked the black rubber foam off with a pair of eyelash tweezers. Putting the tiny screws back in place also was made easier using the tweezers. As for placing the SD card in place I think I got a bit lucky. I lined it up and gently pressed until it simply went into place. I do believe being gentle is the key there. But it went in and I put it back together. The deconstructing and reconstructing is what took the longest for me at least. I turned it on to verify it worked and then unpowered the unit and inserted the card. The system recognized and update right away and did it and then recognized the card! Just what I need for 20 something dollars. Son is happy and back to gaming.

    Albert Baker -

    Thank you for postingthis fix. The original sd card reader had come unplugged from the motherboard, so replacement reader will be a spare.

    Anybody found a way to ensure the sd reader stays in place?

    Craig Thwaites -

    It was my first time repairing a Switch and the fan replacement wasn't too hard, but unfortunately I think there should be a better warning about the SD card connector because I damaged it while trying to put it back in. I couldn't hear any click and it didn't seem to stay put and I think I ended up applying to much force and damaging the pins.

    • Usa un destornillador JIS 000 o un destornillador PH 000 oficial de iFixit para retirar los seis tornillos de 3 mm que fijan la placa de protección al aparato.

    Some models have a small board in the lower left beneath the kickstand which accepts SD cards. This will have to be carefully removed with its connections popped out, then replaced after.

    Draque Thompson -

    Yeah, that “small board” is the microSD Card reader chip, which was covered literally one step ago. All models have a microSD Card reader, that’s how game data is stored…

    • Utiliza tus dedos o unas pinzas para despegar el trozo de espuma que hay en el borde superior del aparato, cerca del puerto de salida del ventilador.

    • Si la espuma no se pela fácilmente, no la forces porque puede rasgarse. Pela cuidadosamente en lugares diferentes para echar atrás la espuma.

    My Switch (bought about two weeks after launch) seems to be missing this foam piece… Was it added later, similar to the foam piece in the left joy-con (to improve connectivity)?

    firetech -

    It’s possible it was added to newer units! Nintendo slightly updated the internals of the Switch not too long ago.

    Craig Lloyd -

    My launch Switch also does not have this piece of foam, so it was most likely added later.

    Christoph -

    Also did not see this in my launch switch.

    • Inserta un spudger debajo de la placa de escudo a lo largo del borde del dispositivo.

    • Haz palanca para levantar la placa de escudo y removerla del dispositivo.

    • Es posible que sientas un poco de resistencia. Esto es normal, ya que la placa de escudo está ligeramente adherida al disipador de calor con pasta térmica.

    • Un compuesto térmico rosado espeso cierra el espacio entre la placa protectora y el disipador de calor de cobre debajo. Esto ayuda a evitar que el Switch se sobrecaliente.

    • Puedes reutilizar el compuesto térmico rosa si tienes cuidado. Mantén el compuesto limpio y asegúrate de que haces un contacto sólido entre el disipador de calor y el protector durante el montaje.

    • Si necesitas reemplazarlo, consulta nuestra guía de pasta térmica para quitar el compuesto térmico antiguo y reemplazarlo con un compuesto apropiado, como K5 Pro, durante el reensamblaje.

    How do you know if the thermal paste needs to be replaced?

    Youji Hong -

    Once you remove a heatsink you must always replace thermal paste even if you had just applied it ( or add a little more) . The reason is that once heat sink is fitted, paste splits around because of pressure and only needed amount will remain. If you remove the heatsink then some paste will move so when installed again there will be spots without paste. Hope this is clear enough. In any case cost of paste is very small compared to work time and value of your equipment…..

    MacTek -

    When your switch starts to lag and drop FPS, if you play breath of the wild and it starts to slow down in heavy areas like the forest where you get the master sword, can i use artic mx 4 insted of the pink compound?

    Diego Soto -

    I’d like to know as well if a cpu thermal compound like arctic mx-4 can be used to replace the pink compound

    Adam Stillman -

    No you shouldn't . It will spill around because it is not viscous enough and then there will be no heat transfer. As suggested by author K5 PRO is the most appropriate compound for such cases.

    MacTek -

    Arctic is generally only supposed to be used on bigger heat sinks like a personal computer. Its not nearly as thick or gummy compared to K5 PRO, and you should always use something that’s thicker for smaller project like a Switch/phone/tablet.

    Shawn Christensen -

    Why was this not included in the tools/equipment list? Getting to this step and now I will have to reverse and wait for yet another order to arrive. ? Very frustrated

    Amanda Nally -

    Hi Amanda,

    Thanks for bringing this up. Sorry! We inadvertently left that part out during the guide refresh. I’ll add the necessary info into the step.

    Arthur Shi -

    To apply new thermal paste, the directions state to use the application method recommended for your specific processor type—vertical line, horizontal line, middle dot, or surface spread.

    Which method should be used for the Nintendo Switch processor?

    Philip W -

    As stated in the comment above, is there a particular method to apply thermal paste to the Switch’s processor? Or as long as you distribute it evenly is enough?

    be careful not to pry it off the board entirely

    Nathan McKenna -

    This was an old switch and the entire thing with the black plastic came off.. Most of the pins aren't there anymore, too.. is there a solution to that? Does soldering work?

    Dawn Martin -

    it's probably possible, but unless you have experience with microsoldering, you'd probably be better off taking it to a local repair shop

    • Aplicaunas cuantas gotas de removedor adhesivo ( removedor de adhesivo )concentración (90% o mas alto) de alcohol isopropilico a lo largo del borde superior para debilitar el adhesivo.

    • Si estás usando un removedor de adhesivo, siga estos pasos de preparación primero. (sigue estos pasos primero)

    you gqve me a rag with 70% or higher pad

    md cu -

    I found a better method of removing the battery:

    1. Get isopropyl in the battery groove. (I used 70%)

    2. Use the spudger to lift a corner slightly.

    3. Use dental floss to under the corner and carefully floss under the battery. This will remove the adhesive in a very clean and easy way because you allow the isopropyl to get further down!

    StankIntern -

    this is the way.

    Brian Duffy -

    Yes, floss is the way to go. Started getting the floss under upper right corner then after flossing some, I worked the floss under the upper left corner. More flossing and adding alcohol and battery came loose.

    • Inclina el borde superior del dispositivo hacia arriba para permitir que el alcohol isopropílico se abra paso por debajo de la batería.

    • Déjalo inclinado durante 1-2 minutos para permitir que el alcohol isopropílico debilite el adhesivo.

    • Inserta una púa de apertura en el espacio entre la batería y la pared del compartimento de la batería.

    • Introduce con cuidado la punta de la púa de apertura debajo de la batería y deslízala a lo largo del borde para comenzar a cortar el adhesivo.

    • Ten cuidado de no perforar o doblar la batería con su herramienta; una batería perforada o doblada puede derramar químicos peligrosos o causar un evento térmico.

    I'm sad to say, this kit did not work out for me. I must be one of the unlucky ones whose battery was glued to the case with the mother of all super adhesives, because despite following the instructions and using copious amounts of isopropyl alcohol, the battery absolutely refused to budge. The pictures show the blue pick wedged under the battery, but I was not able to get that far. Not even close.

    To add insult to injury, during the process of working the pick back and forth to get under the battery, the pick jumped the case housing and nicked one of the cables below the battery. So now I'm out $50 for the ifixit repair kit along with a broken Nintendo Switch.

    This is why I hate self repair: Because the attempt at self-repair always leaves me in a worse state than if I had simply taken the device to a professional. Wish I had listened to my instincts instead of giving self-repair a try.

    Kie Rhee -

    I struggled to remove the battery using 91% alcohol as well. In another guide I saw that a heat gun works better. I used my heat gun and it removed much much easier.

    • Deja la púa de apertura en su lugar y aplica unas gotas más de removedor adhesivo o alcohol isopropílico dentro del compartimiento de la batería.

    • Inclina el borde superior del dispositivo hacia arriba y espere 1-2 minutos hasta que el alcohol isopropílico debilite el adhesivo.

    • Una vez que haya suficiente espacio, inserta una tarjeta de plastico debajo de la batería y levante lentamente la batería.

    • Es posible que debas aplicar más alcohol isopropílico si tienes dificultades para hacer levantar la batería.

    • Ten cuidado de no doblar la batería mientras haces palanca.

    • Remueve la batería

    • No reutilices la batería después de haberla extraído, ya que hacerlo es un peligro potencial para la seguridad. Reemplázala por una batería nueva.

    I carefully took the spongy part on the top of this battery and applied it to the new battery. No where in this guide does it recommend replacing that part. So I erred on the side of since I could get it off easily enough to just keep it on the new one just in case.

    • Utiliza un removedor de adhesivo o alcohol isopropílico y un paño de microfibra para limpiar cualquier resto de adhesivo que haya quedado en la batería antes de instalar la nueva batería.

    • Si tu nueva batería no viene con adhesivo preinstalado, sigue esta guía para instalar adhesivo precortado en la parte inferior (follow this guide to install pre-cut adhesive)

Conclusión

Para volver a montar el dispositivo, sigue los pasos anteriores en orden inverso.

Para un rendimiento óptimo, , calibra tu batería recién instalada luego de completar la guía.

Lleva tus desechos electrónicos a un centro de reciclaje certificado.

Can anyone confirm that Switch will NOT work with the battery removed or dead (dead as in once it’s totally non-functional as all lithium batteries eventually are, not dead as in just discharged but the battery works).

PSP works with the battery dead or pulled, as far as I know DS, 3DS, Vita and Switch do NOT, which is a gigantic design flaw.

Tester -

Yes. The battery of my Switch has been wearing down over some time, to the point where I had to charhe the device for some hours to even activate it - it isn't functional without a working battery.

Helen Winkler -

Why can't you reuse the switch's battery?, if I'm just replacing the shell of the switch and have to move the battery why can't I reuse the battery in the new shell?

Matt -

Good question!

For safety reasons, we strongly discourage people from reusing a battery once it has been removed. Bending a lithium-ion battery even slightly can create uneven spots between the thin layers inside the battery. The battery may function fine for awhile, but over time and charge cycles, the uneven area can wear down faster, eventually resulting in an electrical short. The battery would fail, swell up, and possibly catch on fire.

Arthur Shi -

I left my switch off for months, and now I cant charge it in anyway. It was a hacked switch, it doesnt turn on, doesnt indicate that's its charging or show anything on screen even after being plugged in for few days, does replacing the battery fix my issue?

Matt B -

Hi Matt. With a modded switch, once the battery loses power you will not see anything on the screen while it is charging. After plugging it in for a while just try booting it in the method you normally do. (I prefer using the RCM loader tool as it lets you bypass the annoying jig method.) If that doesn’t work for you, then yes, it’s most likely your battery. Hope that helps!

I am in exactly the same situation and have ordered this kit to see if it will resurect the hacked switch before I drop 499 on a new one. I'll report back in a few days once I get this done

SYSDmg -

I have a switch in the same state did replacing the battery fix it for you?

Colin Hickey -

This helped me, my power button isn't responsive and had to turn it off and on. I skipped the battery and just pulled the chip with tweezers blow on it and put everything back together.

I had a problem taking off the plastic on the back near the earphone jack on step 6, you might want to give tips on how to remove it easier.

Francis Evaristo -

I’m a little new to this scene, but I am curious. Do you have to replace it with the same type of battery that comes with the switch or are you able to buy a different battery to possibly upgrade the switches battery life?

Do both switches run the same battery? and if not, are you able to install the Switch V2 battery into the V1 console?

Hopefully i’m making sense lol, thank you :D

Austin Braun -

The Switch v2 has the same battery as the launch-model Switch. The newer one gets better battery life through a more efficient CPU.

io mintz -

Once the battery has been replaced, should the console boot immediately?

Samuel Ruey -

I got an error 2101-0001 when booting my battery! TToTT this at least means the battery works but should I fix something else!

Charlotte Marino -

Great guide and thread! Thank you.

This was a very good video but a couple helpful comments. My switch had a stripped head on one joycon side that required me to drill out the screw a bit to make a new groove for the screwdriver bit. This was a brand new switch mind you. Anyway, the metal shield required the removal of 6 screws - not five as shown in the video. In the video, a screw hole is there with no screw, but I had the screw in the bottom right. The battery was a pain to remove with respect the adhesive that was used. It took more than a card to pull out and I crapped a little bit of the inside dividers. All said and done, the switch put back together just fine, no extra screws, and powered on and seems to work well.

Just did this to my sons switch and all works well…easy

I can’t seem to find the step where you use the thermal paste? Am I missing something?

Federico Zivolo -

The thermal paste/thermal pad is for the shield plate step found here.

Arthur Shi -

I have a modded switch that will no longer charge and will not turn on. Should i replace the battery?

nater2k2 -

What type of mod did you do? a hardware mod or a software mod?

Daniele Carminati -

My switch battery is puffed up (i didnt poke at it or anything) and I'm getting a replacement soon, as soon as I opened it the battery puffed up more, I disattached it, im scared to remove it since it started fuming, what do I do???

Christian Santos -

Throw the battery that fumed away, and wait for the new one to come.

Daniele Carminati -

So i replaced the switch battery put it back together, and when i try to turn it on it shows the nintendo logo and then turns off, is that supposed to happen or did i do something wrong?

King Steven -

Did you calibrate your battery after replacement?

Daniele Carminati -

This is a great guide and I should have read it more thoroughly before I placed my order. The repair kit really should include a spot of thermal paste along with the precut adhesive. That’s my only complaint. I really had no difficulty removing the battery, I used a very flexible thin guitar pick to start the “glue-slicing’ step, then I used the metal spudger from another iFixit kit to help gently pry the battery out. Came out in one piece with all the adhesive stuck on the battery.

mkeehnel -

I had trouble reconnecting the battery. I feel like this tutorial would benefit from one extra step clarifying the proper way of reconnecting the new battery, as I almost broke something in the process. Or maybe I’m the only one lol. Either way, this was a great help! Thank you

Carissa Frost -

I haven’t used my Switch in a while and since I started using it again, it’ll says my battery is 100%, but when I turn it on without it being plugged in it shuts off within 5 seconds. When I turn it on while it’s plugged in and then unplug after 10 seconds it keeps running fine until I go into sleep mode and this process starts over again. Does this sound like a problem a new battery would fix? I tried several of the reboot/reset steps on the internet without success

Laurens van Heems -

What is the usual method for booting a switch mine may have this fault dosnt indicate charge while trying to charge

joannemurray4 -

Thank you for the step-by-step. Other than the magnetic work-mat, what would be some standard tools for someone to have for projects like this, or screen replacement on a phone, etc.?

Jody Cloutier -

Hi Jody, that's a great question!

I recently replaced the joysticks in both of my joy-cons and the battery in the Switch, itself. I used my ProTech Toolkit to do the bulk of the work. For the battery, I had to clean up the existing thermal paste and apply a new layer to the heat sink when I was done so I used Arctic Silver ArctiClean and Arctic Silver Thermal Paste (these are a personal preference in brand, you can use others.)

As far as screen replacements on phones, the Pro Tech Toolkit will get you pretty far. An extra thing I'd add for that would be an iOpener. In addition, and depending on the phone you're repairing, you may need replacement adhesives (here are examples for the Google Pixel 4 Rear Panel and the iPhone 12 Pro Max Rear Panel.) Luckily we have a ton of replacement guides which will let you know what extra part you'll need to complete the repairs!

Let me know if you have any more questions!

Amber Taus -

Can I use Ethyl Alcohol for the removing part?

Manimanocas -

I left my switch off for about a month and a half and now it doesn't turn on. Is that a battery problem or what I've tried all booting methods and I need help with this one.

Tyler Seelbinder -

Habe you charged it since then? Batteries usually lose power over time when not used.

Helen Winkler -

How do you dispose of the old battery?

Yano Dava -

Yano, read all about that here!

Carsten Frauenheim -

Hey guys, you have skipped the part where batterry is sticked by some glue in there (on the video, luckily its on the page here in written form so all good). Probably wasn't the first time you were doing it on this switch. :-)

Daniel Čech -

Do you need to reapply thermal compound before putting the switch back together?

ARandomGuy231 -

The battery I buy didn't come with foam ?
And I put everything back in without changing the thermal paste ?

Jean-Sébastien Wiedemann -

Is the K5 thermal compound needed specifically or can a PC thermal paste such as Thermal Grizzly be used?
