Thanks for the guide broseff! Got it done in an hour 👍

to folks watching this: this guy made an amazing video, i followed it to the tee and everything worked well. some things to note: 1) let the alcohol soak in longer to weaken the glue. I didn't and only part of the adhesive came off 2) buy extra screws if you can! some will go missing, others will wear off 3) wipe the inside of your glass screen BEFORE putting on the LCD 4) check the buttons before u attach everything. sometimes you might miss a screw or the magnet might be out of position 5) thermal paste - do not put too much! spreading too much will worsen the heat transfer, and many folks have said that the LCD problem is due to heating issues. when i opened my own switch the thermal paste was like clay XD 6) ventilate your switch from now on- no more fancy cases without air gaps LASTLY, THANK YOU DUDE!!!!!

Do not to use alcohol unless absolutely 100% necessary on anything with an LCD. You will get alcohol in the backlight diffuser. Nintendo clearly states not to use isopropyl alcohol on their site as it does worse than good on a switch, it damages the plastic and the screen.
