Nintendo Switch Lite repair prices

Prices include the part and fitting. Most repairs take up to 60 minutes and come with a 3-month warranty.

Controller charging port

If your Nintendo Switch Lite controller only charges at an angle or not at all, the charging port has worn.

We replace the controller charging port and test charging and wired play.

Use a cable that fits snugly and avoid playing with the cable pulled tight.

The Nintendo Switch Lite controller charging port costs £49, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Controller battery

A controller that dies quickly or won't hold charge needs a new battery.

We fit a new controller battery and test charging and wireless play.

Charging the controller from the console or a standard USB port is gentler than fast phone chargers.

The Nintendo Switch Lite controller battery costs £59, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Replacement fan

A Nintendo Switch Lite that sounds like a jet engine or shuts down mid-game is overheating. Dust, a worn fan or dried thermal material are the usual causes.

We strip and clean the cooling system, replace the fan if it is worn and renew the thermal paste or liquid metal where the console uses it, then test under load.

Give the console space to breathe: keep it out of closed cabinets, stand it away from walls and dust the vents every few weeks.

The Nintendo Switch Lite replacement fan costs £59, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Lcd

If your Nintendo Switch Lite screen has a spider-web crack, flickers, shows lines or ignores your finger in places, the display has been damaged. Leaving it often makes it worse: dust and moisture get in through the cracks and pressure on the panel can damage the parts underneath.

We remove the damaged display, check the connectors and frame for bends, fit the new screen, refit any sensors and seals that carry across, and test touch, brightness, True Tone or auto-brightness where the console has it, and the front camera and earpiece around the display before you take it back.

To protect the new display, a tempered glass screen protector and a case with a raised edge are worth the small cost. Most cracks start at a corner, so a bumper that covers the corners does most of the work.

The Nintendo Switch Lite lcd costs £59, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Digitizer

Cracked touch glass on a Nintendo Switch Lite with a picture that still looks normal points to the digitiser. Typical signs are dead zones, ghost touches or a split across the glass that catches your finger.

We replace the touch glass, clean and reseat the connections and test touch across the whole surface before you leave.

A good screen protector reduces the chance of the touch glass cracking again, and a case with raised corners absorbs most drops.

The Nintendo Switch Lite digitizer costs £69, takes up to 60 minutes, and comes with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Other repairs

If your Nintendo Switch Lite has a fault that isn't listed here, such as liquid damage, no power or a problem after a drop, we can still help.

We look at the console, tell you what is wrong and what it will cost before we start. For a quick idea of the price, send us a photo and a short description on WhatsApp.

Whatever the fault, switch the device off if it has been wet and don't try to charge it until we have checked it. That gives liquid-damaged boards the best chance.

The price depends on the fault, so we quote it after a quick check. Most of these repairs take up to 60 minutes, and come with a 3-month warranty on the part and our work.

Common problems we fix on the Nintendo Switch Lite

Most consoles come to us with a damaged HDMI port, overheating and loud fans, controllers that won't charge or disc drives that stop reading. On the Nintendo Switch Lite a dusty cooling system is often the hidden cause of shut-downs and noise, so a clean and fresh thermal paste is worth doing alongside any other repair.

Before you bring your Nintendo Switch Lite in

• Bring the Nintendo Switch Lite with its power cable.
• Bring the controller too if it is part of the problem.
• Sign out of accounts you share if you prefer; we only need the console to start up.
• Tell us what you have already tried, such as a reset or a different cable.

Signs your console needs a repair

• No picture on the TV, or a picture that drops out.
• Loud fans, overheating warnings or shut-downs during games.
• Discs that won't read or eject.
• Error codes or a console stuck on start-up.
• A controller that won't charge or dies quickly.
• No power, or clicking from the power supply.

If you notice any of these, it is usually cheaper to fix them early. A cracked screen lets dust and moisture in, and a tired battery puts strain on the rest of the console. These are the faults we see most often on the Nintendo Switch Lite.

What affects the price of a repair

The prices on this page are for the part and fitting. The main things that change a price are the model, the part needed and whether there is more than one fault. A cracked screen on a console that has also been dropped in water, for example, may need more than one part. Every Nintendo Switch Lite repair price on this page includes the part and fitting.

We always check the console first and tell you the price before we start. If we find something else while it is open, we ask before doing any extra work, so the price you agree is the price you pay.

How long repairs take

Most repairs are done while you wait, usually within an hour, so you can stay in the shop or pop out and come back. Some parts for older or less common models need ordering, which is why we ask you to book online or message us on WhatsApp before you visit, so we can make sure the part is ready. Most Nintendo Switch Lite repairs are finished the same day.

If a repair is going to take longer, for example a board repair or a part on order, we tell you when you drop it off and let you know as soon as it is ready.

Our warranty

Every repair comes with a warranty on the part we fit and our work. If the repair develops a fault within the warranty period, bring it back with your receipt and we will check it and put it right. Keep your receipt or booking confirmation, as it shows the date of the repair. That applies to every Nintendo Switch Lite repair we carry out.

The warranty covers the part and the work we did. If the console is dropped or gets wet again after the repair, that is new damage, and we will quote for it in the same way as before.

Repair or replace?

A repair is almost always cheaper than a new console, and it keeps your data, settings and apps exactly as they were. As a rough guide, if the console does everything you need and the repair costs less than a third of a replacement, repairing it is the better value.

For most owners, repairing the Nintendo Switch Lite costs far less than replacing it, and you keep everything exactly as it was.

It can be worth thinking twice if the console has several faults at once, no longer gets software updates, or has been badly damaged by liquid. In those cases we will tell you honestly what we find and what the repair would cost, and you decide. If you do decide to replace it, we also buy used phones, so your old device may still be worth something.

Collection and postal repairs

Can't get to Leagrave Road? We collect broken devices from around Luton and bring them back once they are fixed. If you live further away, our postal repair service lets you send the console to us and have it returned after the repair.

Contact us first on WhatsApp or by phone on 01582 511611, tell us the model and the fault, and we will confirm the price and how to send it. Pack it well, switch it off and include your name, phone number and a short note of the problem. We return your Nintendo Switch Lite once it has been repaired and tested.

Your data and privacy

Repairs at Mega Mobiles are done in the shop, and we only use your passcode to test the repair with you. We never reset a console without asking, and we never look through photos, messages or apps.

It is still sensible to back up before any repair if the console turns on, just as you would before an update. If it won't turn on, bring it in anyway: most of the time the data is untouched by the fault. Your Nintendo Switch Lite data stays exactly where it is.

Looking after it after the repair

Use a case with raised edges and a screen protector, keep the console out of hot cars and direct sun, and charge it with a good-quality cable. If anything about the repair doesn't feel right afterwards, bring it back and we will check it within the warranty. A well-protected Nintendo Switch Lite keeps working well for years.
