Great guide, helped me fix charge port replacement, did notice between 16-17 the card reader magically disappeared, but help me tear down and repair and rebuild with a little bit of head scratching.

La guida è molto chiara.. ma dove si può acquistare una scheda madre di ricambio ?

Walter - Antwoord

It stops at motherboard removal, is there a section for replacing the USB charging port on the switch lite?

Christian Knight - Antwoord

Where can i get the motherboard from, i cant replace the charging port, cause it is soldered to the motherboard. So if you could please let me know onto where i can get the mother board from. 😊

JoyBoy - Antwoord

I have a working motherboard but it is missing one of the resistors (see the green square). How do I find out the value of this resistor? The resistor is situated to the left of the main chip, just below the microSD card slot, if the USB-C port is facing downward.
