Switch's LCD has a touch panel and a LCD panel, but if you have been using it for many years, the touch panel may not respond or work.
In the case of a touch panel failure, there is a high possibility of hardware failure, so there is almost no improvement in initialization, etc., so please think that repair is necessary.
The price when changing the touch panel with Nintendo (manufacturer) is 4860 yen (including tax), so it is a reasonable price even for manufacturer repair.
I think Nintendo has a much more 'friendly pricing' compared to a certain manufacturer.
Why does switch touch panels stop responding?
There are external factors such as dropping switch, and there is a touch panel failure due to deterioration.
In some cases, only a portion of the screen does not respond at all.
If the touch panel does not respond, the most likely failure point is the touch panel, but if the symptoms do not change even if the touch panel is replaced, there is a possibility of motherboard failure.(Expensive repair fee will be charged.))
In the past, there was no touch panel itself, but now it has become quite familiar, such as iPhone, iPad, android, PC.
If you have owned these products, you may have encountered a touch panel malfunction once, but the logic is the same.
There is a digitizer failure due to fall (touch panel) and there is also a touch panel failure due to deterioration.
Touch panels are quite delicate for precision parts, especially due to external factors, and if the touch panel cracks, there is a high probability that the touch will not respond or not work.
What should I do if the touch panel does not respond?
As I told you at the beginning, the shop where you can repair the manufacturer and Switch, the only thing left to fix yourself.
Basically, in the case of a touch panel cracking, I think that the warranty does not work, but in the case of failure due to deterioration, I think that it will be covered by the warranty, so please consult the purchase shop once.
The most scary symptom in the touch panel failure is that it will be touched without permission and will download software and erase the save data.
Especially when the child is using Switch, it is considered enough that the touch panel is broken without telling the parents that it is broken, so it was downloaded and charged without permission!I think that it is necessary to be careful in order not to become a thing.
So, if you feel a problem by any chance, it is BEST to turn off the power before the symptoms worsen and think about how to deal with it.
I think that the person who has the experience that the panel is pushed without permission by dividing the screen with the iPhone and the iPad will understand.
If the touch panel doesn't respond or doesn't work, can I fix it myself?
Does it matter when i fix it myself, do I know how to fix the Switch?I think that there is a high possibility that iCan repair The Switch if there is a thing that I fixed the iPhone and iPad by myself though the parts can be obtained.
Parts are not sold at consumer electronics retailers, but they can be purchased on Amazon.
What happens to the data if I change the touch panel?
If the screen does not respond, repair is necessary, but care must be taken when requesting repair from the manufacturer.
It is better to consult in advance because there is a possibility that it will be erased with respect to the data.
In addition, if you fix it by a private non-regular repair shop or yourself, you can work without touching the data, so the data remains.
Because the trouble that the screen does not work, and it is said that it will be pushed without permission is considered to lead to data erasure, let's take a back-up to the bean with respect to the data.
