[New to repairs] No stage 2 boot, no shorts, charging, stage 1 with missing power rails

topic here on the subject, different ribbon but same principles

It’s worth repairing them as the replacement LCD panels avaliable for Switch which while cheap are either the manufacturer casts offs much like the enviroment for phone screens which exhibit ghosting, colour patches and other similar issues or theyr’e refurbished with new ribbons bonded or soldered on (in the case of backlight) and that’s if they don’t turn up DOA and then you have the nightmare of getting the panels into the assembly square etc which is not a problem you’ll be used to if your coming from a macbook or ipad background as the fit and finish there is usually spot on and the frame won’t allow you to fit the panel crooked.

Just practice this elsewhere on some old phone or laptop boards prior to trying on the actual device of repair and get to grips with it. after failing the first 10 / 100 times :wink: things will start to take shape
