Nintendo Switch Lite: 音は出るが画面が付かず、zl、マイナス、右、電源、音量ボタンが効かない

Sun, 10 May 2026 20:33:44 -0700

現状はタイトル通りですが、音は出るが画面が付かず、ZL、マイナス、十字キー右、電源、音量ボタンが効きません。

故障の確認の仕方や、交換が必要なパーツ、道具などを教えていただけると嬉しいです。

よろしくお願いします。

（ちなみに、十字キーは上下と左は効きます 😫）

音は出るが画面が付かなかったため（充電ケーブルを繋ぐと電源は入る）、原因を探るために分解しました。

（この時点ではボタンの効きはちゃんと確認していませんでした。）

使用したガイドはNintendo Switch Lite Screen Replacementですが、スクリーンのテープを外す道具を持っていなかっためその手前（手順54）まで行いました。

分解後、左右の基盤をつなぐケーブルが断線していたため、そこが原因だと思い購入し交換しました。

一旦組み上げた直後は画面が付いたのですが、喜び勇んで再度組み直した後（ネジ類が仮止めだったため）、上記の状態になってしまいました。

左右の基盤をつなぐケーブルが刺さるZIFコネクタの目視確認（おそらくピン折れ、焦げなどはなし）
ZIFコネクタのラッチが閉まっていること
効かないボタンの接点を無水アルコールに浸した綿棒で掃除

ドライバーセット（Y00, PH000含む）
無水アルコール
ピンセット
はんだごて（100V 20W）
テスター

よろしくお願いします。

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: A green band appears at the bottom of the screen./画面下に緑色の帯が出る。

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 05:20:21 -0700

日本語/Japanese

初めての質問失礼します。

現在の状況としては、画面下に「緑色の帯」が出るといった状況です。

下側を軽く押すと、圧力によってか緑色の帯が出てきます。

また、再起動することによってなぜか直ります。

ハードウェア的要因かソフトウェアなのかわかりません！

ご回答お願いします。

英語/English

Excuse me for asking a question for the first time.

The current situation is that a 'green band' appears at the bottom of the screen.

When I lightly press the bottom part, the green band appears, possibly due to the pressure.

Also, for some reason, restarting fixes it.

I don't know if this is a hardware or software issue!

I would appreciate your response.

Joy-Con: Stripped back panel screw on Joy-Con - rubber band and foil didn't work

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 22:09:54 -0700

I am trying to replace the joystick in my Joy-Con using the iFixit guide, but I am stuck on the very first step. One of the four Tri-point Y00 back panel screws is stripped. I've already tried the rubber band trick and using aluminum foil, but both just puncture because the screwdriver is so sharp and pointy.

What are some other ways to remove such a small, recessed, and stripped Tri-point screw without damaging the plastic shell? I don't want to drill it out if I can avoid it. Any advice from people who have dealt with this specific Joy-Con issue would be appreciated!

Joy-Con: Joy Con still drifts just after replacement

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 19:56:10 -0700

I had a really bad up/left drift problem on my left joycon, so I ordered the repair kit and followed the guide. After replacing the stick it now has a slight downward drift problem, noticeable in calibration and while playing a game (tested game was Animal Crossing New Horizons, the character would slowly move downward when the stick was not being touched)

Nintendo Switch 2: Right side joycon port no longer detecting joycons.

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 07:30:43 -0700

I did a shell swap on my switch 2. It wasn’t difficult and I didn’t poke around more than taking the back plate off and replacing it with the new one. After powering my switch 2 back on, the right joycon port on the console itself doesn’t register either joycon. The left side works completely normally with both joycons. I purchased and replaced the right side connector following the guide on this website. Still no dice. I’ve cleaned the ports on both the joycon and the console. I’ve done everything including a factory wipe of the console to rule out any software issues. I cannot figure out what is causing this.

Nintendo Switch: Switch is days charging but still shows low battery after battery swap

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 23:56:17 -0700

So, a while back I bought a cheap broken v1 Nintendo Switch hoping to fix it myself. The seller said that the issue was that it was put away for a long time and when they picked it up to play it didn't turned on, for me it looked like a tell tale sign of a dead battery

I finally bought a replacement battery and swapped it, at the start it just showed the Nintendo logo and went black but I left it to charge overnight and when I checked it, it showed the low battery icon which I thought it was a good sign. It is as of now 4 days straight charging (more than 100hs) and it is going back and forth between showing nothing unless I try the hold the power button for 20 secs hard reset and showing the low battery icon

When I opened it I saw it has part of a mod chip soldered to the board, I didn't knew about that and the seller didn't tell me either. I was worried it might have some board issue, but I don't fully know. I gets warm so I think it is charging, but still no sign of life

I mostly would like to know if there is some quirk about swapping batteries that I might be doing wrong, I heard that the charging time of a fully drained battery was long, but is it this long? Or if there might be a board issue and it's an unfixable Switch

Sorry for the long text, but I thought context might be needed and it's my first time messing with a Switch (also, English isn't my first language)

Nintendo Switch: Volume up button still not working after repairs

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 02:06:52 -0700

I've replaced the power button board two different times and every time, the power and volume down buttons would work but the volume up button still isn't working. I think it's some kind of software malfunction or something like that but I also tried factory resetting my switch and that didn't work. This person (Power button not working after replacing power button board) asked a similar question 3 years ago and never got an answer so I think this problem is a lost cause.

Nintendo Switch: Volume up Button not working

I'm trying to repair a Nintendo Switch where the volume up (+) button is not responding. Volume down (-) and Power are working fine.

I allready replaced the flex cable.

Same behaviour. Vol + not working, Vol - and Power are working.

Any idea, what could cause this problem?

Nintendo Switch: Stripped middle screw on Nintendo Switch shield plate - No extractors or power tools

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 01:27:53 -0700

I am following the Nintendo Switch Battery Replacement guide and have encountered a stripped screw on the shield plate (specifically the middle screw). I do not have a screw extractor set and I am not comfortable using a rotary/cutting tool on the device. I have already tried the rubber band method and using different sizes of screwdrivers without success. Does the community have any non-destructive "household" tips for removing a small, stubborn stripped JIS screw in this specific location?

Nintendo Switch OLED Model: Need help identifying capacitors please.

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 09:39:41 -0700

My daughters Nintendo OLED stopped charging. It would charge slightly with a movement of the usb c cord. Thought that this could be related to a loose charging port. I decided to try a hand in micro-soldering. Was able to remove and replace, but the hands free station I had bought was a bit rough on the board. The clips were strong and the teeth had removed a few capacitors. I have tried to look up and somewhat learn about them, the size, the voltage, and mF power. I need help so I can try and replace these pieces, please. I have tried to circle and number the areas in question on the photo. All help and info is welcome please.

Nintendo Switch: Is my battery swelling? Please help :(

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 04:09:55 -0700

The crack in the shell near the battery is slightly bigger than the crack near the audiojack. Do you guys think the battery might have started swelling? I have been using my switch since 2018 and I have never repaired it. There were periods of time when it would lay in its case for months due to no free time, but since January I have been playing it a lot (Persona 5 Royal is very fun). I can fit the corner of my nail and move around the dirt inside (sorry for the nasty description ). Any help would be greatly appreciated

Joy-Con: R button works but joystick doesn't respond at all

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 23:49:40 -0700

Recently bought TMR sticks and swapped them out, successful on my left joycon but on the right Joycon the joystick is unresponsive. The R button works fine when I press down, I've tested it, but no directional inputs register. I have not swapped the joysticks to see if it's a part issue or a Joycon issue, but I have checked that the ribbon cable is not damaged and seated correctly

Nintendo Switch: Switch Dock Charging But Not Displaying on TV

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 09:26:51 -0700

So, I've had a bad habit of leaving a game running on my TV and walking away from it. This hasn't caused any problems in the past until yesterday when I left the switch running animal crossing and stepped away to do some chores which took longer than expected. I came back a few hours later and found that when I went to turn on the switch again, the TV just showed a black screen.

The switch seems to be okay and it still charges when I attach it to the dock. I've tried just about every version of turning it on and off/unplugging and plugging back in, and the screen still seems to be black.

I don't have the resources to pay for nintendo to fix it and would like to do the repair myself.

Any idea how to fix this?
