简介

With extended use over time, Switch models may malfunction. This guide will cover how to replace a malfunctioning SD card reader. The Switch system is widely recognized for its limited internal storage capacity, hence it may prove challenging for users to download and install additional game titles without a properly functioning SD card.

  • For this project, experience with applying flux is strongly recommended.
  • Additionally, you should have prior knowledge of how to use a heat gun.

Question about step 6. "Using the heat gun apply 400°C heat to the connector socket for 30 seconds to loosen the flux." Are you supposed to apply flux before using the heat gun? Or is the flux already on the connector/board from the factory?
