Hardware Switch screen is black after fan repair

[linuxares]

I still have the hinge with me, a tiny part of the hing broke off and I think its on the floor somewhere I would have to look

picture of the hinge please

yes, after I turned it back on after the fan replacement. I went back in to diagnose the problem and accidentally took the hinge off.

Yea the lcd ribbon cable connector to lock down for it to work, that is the problem.

You are missing the Hinge.
I saw ppl sticking a tape under the Flat cable. It works
I would just replace it

Sorry to say but that is gone. You need a port switch.

what is a port switch?

what is a port switch?

You need someone to switch/change/replace your broken LCD connector with a new one.

how much would that cost do you think? I have no idea where to look for repairs.

it's a board repair and a lot of places take a flat fee for that. So I can't say. Do you live in the US?

Yes

Yes

I would check Google or Yelp for Console Repair near you and check the reviews. Explain the issue and see what they take for a price. Just be honest with them, most repair people hate if you lie to them.

Sadly it's impossible to troubleshoot any thing more. But that cable is what shows things on the screen. Without it, black screen.

Heck I don't know, maybe it's possible just to change the white hinge? The repair store probably knows more

Yeah, hope I can get this fixed I don't want $150 to just be gone that quickly

Totally understandable. Some times accidents happens, and then we need a professional to fix our accident.

Sadly the Switch is... well... the least repairable Nintendo console to date imho. It's very brittle.

Chuck a NES to the wall. Just remove the broken plastic and just blow in the cartridge and start playing again.

Can defientely agree on that even when replacing the fan I was worried because of how much force that is needed on some parts to get them loose and they are so tiny as well.
