[Nintendo Switch Lite] with black screen - water damage and ruined fbc connector

​

Hi everyone,

My switch lite fell in the toilet on its left side specifically where the daugther motheboard is, didn't have any of the tools needed to open it and clean it from the inside when it happend and I stupidly turned the switch on right once I picked it up.

Long story short I replaced the daughter motherboard just to make sure, the flex cable connecting the main board to the motherboard , the power and volume flex cable as well and a new stick(the original had stick drift).

The console had sound and i was able to move through its home screen but no light(I believe because the screen's flex cable got damaged from corosion- included image(, additionally for some reason the left stick and D-pad were not working.. so I decided to try and swap the original flex cable connect both boards and well.. when I did just that the cable got hot reall quick and left one of the pins in the fpc connector of the main board misplaced and the black thingis under the pins melted(as can be seen on the image included), I also ruined the new power and volume cable somehow so I am expecting a new one to arrive this week.

I assume I need to swap the fpc connector but before I do that I would appreciate your help, what do I need to check on the board itself before I try and swap the fpc and screen ? (Capicators or anything I need to check maybe corelated to why my left atick and D pad were nkt working) , I would really appreciate if you could send the image of my motherboard circled with places to check with the meter🙏🏻

And should I try and swap it myself with a heat gun and stuff? (never done that but I truly wish to fix my switch myself so I can be proud of it)

Or would you say its better I go to a shop to let them replace the connector?(it may be expensive ig?)

Thank you all :)

HI I am currently in my second year of bachelor in biotechnology.
I am aware of how hard it is to find a good paying job nontheless finding one to begin with, thus I want to pursue masters so I have a better chance at getting hired.
what masters would you recommend? I was thinking either chemistry,biochemistry or continue with biotech or if you have any other suggestions I am open to read!
