Nintendo Switch SD Card FPC Replacement
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The Nintendo Switch SD Card Reader is easily damaged if not aligned properly. If you have had your console repaired and it no longer reads SD cards check to see if the reader itself is damaged and if not then the connector on the motherboard may be your problem. The reader itself can be replaced as it is plug and play but make sure to exercise caution when installing a new or existing part. They are easy to break.

10:54 doesn't have to be flat....in fact it's gonna sit off kilter like that with the screw in It just needs to be on and connect I've been lucky enough and only my read has failed a few times- as long as all the pins are in the connector WILL work
Tolle Anleitung. 👍🏼
Where did you get the connector? I mean where can I buy it and what’s the name of it? Great video!
I kinda destroyed that part and looking to fix it. Just a little nervous about doing this though. I think the easy part is taking it off but my luck hasn’t been good lately
Can i replace a pin without solder?
What temperatures should I consider using? Thank you
What type of tape is that? I can't find any good tapes for soldering. that stick well, but that tape looks really good I would like to get some for my own work.

Hi there, I got the "1bit" problem and I switch the SDreader part with another one in a Switch who's working well, but the good SD part still does the "1bit" in the bad Switch and the first "supposed" bad reader does the "1bit" too in the good Switch.... So what must I do? changing the reader AND the connector on the first one? Cause when i put back the good SD (who's dont work on the first Switch) on the good Switch it works again without the 1bit thing...

Then you need exactly what he is replacing in the video. Ordered the part a couple days ago and fixing myself soon. Should be possible given the right tools
I just got all the stuff required to do this on Amazon, for less than 200, even a microscope camera, the same pins were missing from the board, they were still attached to the reader boards connector. They cost 9$ for 2 and the reader cost 9$. Microscope camera 250x zoom 39$, heat resistant tape with no residue 8.99$, 10 feet of copper sodder wick 8$,.a duel soldering iron and hot air station 80$ several tips and accessories, the heat gun all in one. flux 6.99$, also a new volt, ohms, amp meter. 10$ , 🤞hope it all works

Why couldn't you just heat from under the board? Wouldn't that have helped your struggle @ 6:50 ?

There are components on the other side of the board.

Very nice job. last year i attempted this & my heat gun hand drifted hit my shield and went everywhere bar the connector lol, melted the plastic joycon connectors & flowed the nand :| i was waay too focused on alignment & took too long dicking about( also im a lazy soab & should have taken the nand off ) :( . best bit is, i could have just ordered the connector, pull 2 pins out , popped them in & touched them up. That was last year , too disgusted with myself to touch it so its in the back of my router cupboard , a sombering reminder of what i really am

I would assume whatever the employment age requirement is in your area. If you are young then you might need to look into a work permit of some sort. Labor laws vary by state.
If I change the fpc connector, can I still mod my switch?

This is just the sdcard reader connection, it doesnt affect the modability of your Switch
do you have a mail in service?
