Nintendo Switch (original)
The 2017 console and its 2019 longer-battery revision. Separate glass and LCD layers, so a cracked glass is not always a whole new display.

What needs fixing?
Pick the fault and you will get the detail for that specific repair — what causes it, how we tell it apart from the faults it gets confused with, and what we actually do about it.
Screen Replacement
Cracked glass, unresponsive touch, lines or a black display, on every Switch model.
What we doWon't Charge or Turn On
No charging icon, no power, or a dock that will not output — usually the USB-C port or the charging chips behind it.
What we doGame Card Slot Repair
Cartridges not recognised, read errors mid-game, or a slot that will not hold the card.
What we doBattery Replacement
Battery life gone, shutting down with charge left, or a swollen battery pushing on the screen.
What we doDock Repair
No picture on the TV when docked, or a dock that will not charge the console.
What we doJoy-Con Rail Repair
Joy-Cons that will not lock on, slide off, or disconnect while attached — fixed on the console side.
What we doOverheating & Fan Repair
A loud or grinding fan, a hot console and slowdowns in demanding games.
What we doWhich Switch do you have?
Switch OLED
The OLED panel and its glass are bonded together, so screen damage means a full display replacement. Ships with the dock that adds a LAN port.
Switch Lite
Handheld only, with the controls built in — so stick drift and button faults are console repairs rather than a Joy-Con swap.
Switch 2
The newest model. Charging, screen and port faults are assessed case by case while parts supply settles.
The model number is on the back of the console. We also repair the 3DS and 2DS families — book them under Nintendo.
Nintendo Switch repair FAQs
Do you fix Joy-Con drift?
▼
Yes — Joy-Con drift has its own page under controller repair, because it is the controller, not the console. Built-in stick drift on a Switch Lite is a console repair and is covered here.
How much does a Switch repair cost?
▼
It depends on the model and the fault. We run a full diagnostic and give you a fixed quote before any work starts. The £45 diagnostic fee is waived when you go ahead with the repair.
Will I lose my save data?
▼
Not from the repair. Saves are stored on the console, and repairing it keeps them. Anything backed up with Nintendo Switch Online cloud saves is safe either way.
My Switch is still under warranty. Should I come to you?
▼
Go to Nintendo first if it is inside Nintendo's warranty — we will tell you that rather than take the job. Once it is out of warranty, a third-party repair is your call.
Can I post my Switch to you?
▼
Yes, from anywhere in the UK. Book a mail-in repair, we review the request, and once it is approved we email you the posting address and packing instructions.
