How common are LCD issues on the Switch Lite, and is there any way to prevent them?

I have a 2022 Switch Lite, and earlier this year the LCD started having issues. I bought a replacement screen on AliExpress and replaced it, and so far everything has been working normally.

However, I know people who have replaced the screen twice and ended up with the same problem again. What actually causes this? Is there any way to prevent it?

Sorry if this is a common question, but I'm seriously considering selling my Switch Lite and maybe buying a newer revision (2024+) or getting a Switch OLED/V2 instead. It doesn't seem practical to own a console whose screen might keep failing because of what appears to be a chronic issue.

I was thinking about buying the SUPER5 OLED Kit, but it's out of stock, and shipping it to Brazil would make it way too expensive to be worth it.

Sorry if this post sounds alarmist, but I'm genuinely worried about it.

On family vacay in Japan, turned down the steamdeck and rog ally to get reacquainted with this old friend. Forgot how much I appreciate its form factor.🥰

Battery rapidly dying

I got a Nintendo switch lite in November and now it is rapidly dying (losing one percent every 15 seconds when no games are running). How can I fix this?

Black ‘n’ Blood

I felt like it would look good but I didn’t realise it would look incredible in person!

Started out with a grey Switch Lite that had white buttons and sticks, shell swapped it to ‘transparent black’ with a satin red button set and a pair of black TMR sticks.

Absolutely love how it’s come out.

I have a Nintendo Switch, and two Switch 2’s. I cannot figure out how to make it not annoying to play games.

I never linked my first Switch 2 to my Switch 1. I enjoyed playing the switch 2 so much I bought a second so my family and myself can have more play time on the Switch 2. I purchased the family online bundle and created online accounts for my family. All the switches are under my account so when someone wants to play a game on another device it says you have to link the systems. All three of us want to play simultaneously but it won’t allow us. I figured I could just give the Switch 1 to my kid and have her be the primary account, then my two switch 2s can be linked, so then we should never have to link the other console. I can’t figure out how to give the Switch 1 to her and all the games and data as well. I just want to play the Switch 2 and she primary wants to play the Switch 1 for Tomagachi Life Living the Dream. Is there a better way to go about resolving this? Does my post even make sense?

Clear with OLED Screen and Bluish Purple Buttons

I re-shelled my day one teal switch the other day. I received my Super5 OLED screen last week and been working up the courage to do the install.

Decided to go with a clear shell and blue purple chameleon buttons from ExtemeRate. Super happy with the turn out. Going to switch out my old sticks as well for some black tmr joysticks.

Matching iPod just cause lol

Switch Lite for the GFs birthday. Cherry Blossom(ish) theme

Excited for her to get it, has some internal mods, new sticks/digitizer, and of course the extremerate reshell/buttons. Fun time, and I think it turned out great. Working on customizing and painting a unique travel case to go with it - I'll leave any other customization up to her. But for a good budget project it really wasn't too bad.

My freshly modded Switch Lite

Just wanna show you my newly modded one: OLED screen, full aluminum housing, TMR sticks, extended battery, mod chip, and a 512 GB microSD card.
Everything was done by myself. Very happy with how it turned out. One of the coolest handhelds for long-distance travel. ❤️‍🩹

Update: Switch lite inspired by JP N3DS

Someone on my previous post recommended painting the characters on the buttons so I did it with white acrylic paint and a sewing needle.

If anyone has any ideas on what I can use to preserve it as much as possible while I wait a few days for it to dry, any recs welcomed

UPDATE : I gottem!

I did ask y'all here about snatching this special edition Switch Lite on my previous post. So I finished my work today to snatch it immediately. Can't believe on how comfortable holding the Lite is compared to my OLED. Condition's pretty good. Just a little scuff on the shoulder triggers. Already went ahead and download all my digital games and classic consoles here.

P.S. I would like to thank my local Cash Converters for this beauty.

Is it me or my switch lite is too hot?

Hi. I mean I’m starting to think it overheats very quickly, I dunno.
Bought it yesterday, it is my very first switch ever :) not very familiar with it yet but I do feel the heat and after 20/30 minutes of gameplay it feels like my fingers are burning! I’m literally new to the console so I dunno if it’s a normal thing or if there’s something wrong. I bought it second hand mint condition so I doubt it, but I’d like to know your thoughts on this if you don’t mind.

When is the Nintendo Switch 2 Lite coming out with a rumble option?

What if the Nintendo Switch 2 Lite has rumble? I think this would be a great idea for the next lite handheld that’s really all it needs maybe even an OLED screen since the screen would be smaller maybe Nintendo could work with manufacturing costs and implement an OLED screen with rumble on a significantly smaller device. The size could remain the same as the original Switch Lite while the screen increases by reducing the bezels, then add rumble to make the experience better. It would be nice to see 120hz still on a smaller console and the resolution could remain 1080p maybe even higher fps by adding better components.

Another suggestion would be sell the Nintendo Switch Lite 2 at the same price as the Nintendo Switch 2 but adding better components making the Nintendo Switch 2 Lite the more premium console at the costs of the overall handheld size. The size would be smaller but selling the Nintendo Switch 2 Lite at the same $499.99 could make it worth their while. I would like to see a design like we saw in the original leaks for a Nintendo Switch 2 Lite. Do you think rumble would be good?

What to do with multiple systems?

Hi all

Since the release of the switch 2 my modded switch lite has ended up collecting dust and I really want to change that because of how amazing the little handheld is.
So I turn to Reddit in the hope of getting inspiration for what to do, I wanna know how you manage having a second / modded switch along side a switch 2 or some things I could do with a modded system keeping it as a more standalone device

P.s I’ve been loving all the reshelled systems I’ve been seeing on here, makes me want to get myself a kit and an OLED screen mod…. If they ever come back in stock
