How to Repair a Nintendo Switch Screen

Authored by: Support.com Tech Pro Team

1. Introduction

Nintendo Switch

2. Liquid Damage

If you suspect your device has been subjected to liquid damage, or has been submerged:

  • Immediately unplug the power cord and power the unit off. As with any electrical appliance, there is a risk of electrical shock if it is used while wet.
  • Allow the system to air-dry for a few days.
  • Do not apply any type of heat to speed up the process (blow-dryers, heaters, microwave ovens, etc.), as this may cause damage to the system.
  • If the liquid did not enter the system, clean the housing with a soft, dry cloth, if necessary. Then try turning on the system.

If the system isn't working after it has air-dried, or if liquid has entered the system, the system may need to be repaired.
