Cracked the screen on your Switch, or on an older Nintendo handheld? We have you covered. Our nintendo switch screen replacement service fits a new screen for the Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite, and we also replace screens on the older 3DS, 2DS, DS Lite, and DSi handhelds, which most shops will not touch. Cracked glass, black blotches, or a dead picture, we fit the correct new screen and make it look new again. Your games and saved data stay safe. The check is free. For non-screen Switch problems like charging or power, see our main Switch repair page. We also fix Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
A cracked or broken Switch screen is very fixable, and a new screen makes your Switch look brand new. A nintendo switch screen replacement covers the glass and the display, so whether the glass is cracked, the picture has dark spots, or the screen is totally dead, we replace it with the correct screen for your exact model.
If only the top glass is cracked but the picture still looks fine, that is the simpler case. If you see black blotches, colored lines, or no picture at all, the display under the glass is damaged too, and both layers need replacing. The free check tells you exactly which kind you have and what it costs.
The Switch OLED screen is larger and uses the brighter OLED display, so it is a different part and price from the standard Switch. The Switch Lite is the smaller handheld-only model, with its screen built into the one unit. We replace screens on all three, matched to your exact model.
Here is what makes us different: we also replace screens on the older Nintendo handhelds, the ones many shops turn away. If you have a 3DS, 2DS, DS Lite, or DSi with a cracked or dead screen, we can fix it and bring your old favorite back to life.
If your top screen has lines or a crack but the touch screen still works, you may only need the top screen replaced. If the bottom touch screen is cracked or not responding to your stylus, that is the bottom screen. We tell you which at the free check, so you only pay for the screen that broke.
A 3DS or DS Lite often holds years of game saves and memories, and a screen replacement costs far less than hunting down a working used one. If you have an old handheld with a broken screen sitting in a drawer, bring it in and let us see if we can revive it.
No. A screen replacement does not touch your games or saved data. Everything is stored on the console's memory and your game cards or memory card, separate from the screen. Your Switch or handheld comes back just as you left it, with a clear new screen. If you are ever worried about losing files on any device, see our data recovery page.
A nintendo switch screen replacement price depends on the model and the screen type, but it is almost always far less than a new console or handheld. The check is free, and you approve the cost before any work. Here is a general guide.

Usually yes. A new screen costs far less than a new Switch, which runs $200 to $350, or a working used handheld. For a console that otherwise works fine, a screen replacement is the smart money. If a unit has several big faults, we will give you the honest math at the free check.
If you bought a screen kit online and the repair did not go to plan, you are not alone, and we can usually fix it. Nintendo screens connect with thin, delicate cables that tear easily, and the older handhelds are fiddly inside.
The most common DIY mistake is tearing the screen cable or cracking the new screen while fitting it. If that happened to you, bring us the console and the situation, and we will fit a proper new screen and get it working. And if you have not started yet, our repair uses the correct screen for your model and comes with a warranty, so you skip the risk.
This page is about screens. If your Switch has a different problem, like it will not charge, will not turn on, or the dock has stopped sending video to the TV, that is covered on our main Switch page.
See our Nintendo Switch repair service for charging, power, and dock repairs. For Joy-Con drift, see our Switch controller repair service. If the battery is dying fast, check our Nintendo Switch battery replacement page. Whatever is wrong, we can help.
Most screen replacements are done the same day if your screen is in stock. Older handheld screens may take a little longer if we order the exact part.
Can you replace a cracked Nintendo Switch screen?
Yes, it is one of our most common repairs. Whether the glass is cracked, the picture has black spots, or the screen is dead, we fit a new screen for your exact model, including the Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite. Your games and saves stay safe, since they are stored on the console, not the screen.
Do you replace 3DS and DS screens too?
Yes, and this is what sets us apart. We replace screens on the 3DS, New 3DS and 3DS XL, 2DS and 2DS XL, DS Lite, and DSi and DSi XL. These handhelds have a top screen and a bottom touch screen, and we can replace either one. Many shops will not touch the older handhelds, but we can often bring them back to life.
My 3DS top screen is cracked but the touch screen works. Do I need both replaced?
No. The 3DS has two separate screens, so if only the top screen is cracked and the bottom touch screen still works, we replace just the top screen. We check both at the free visit and replace only the one that broke, so you do not pay for more than you need.
How much does Nintendo Switch screen replacement cost?
The check is free. A Switch or Switch Lite screen runs $89 to $169, a Switch OLED screen $129 to $199, a 3DS or 2DS screen $69 to $139, and a DS Lite or DSi screen $59 to $119. A new Switch is $200 to $350, so a screen replacement saves you a lot. You approve the price first. Get a free quote or call (703) 594-9339.
Is the Switch OLED screen different from a regular Switch screen?
Yes. The Switch OLED uses a larger, brighter OLED screen, while the original Switch and Switch Lite use LCD screens. They are different parts and prices, so we match the correct screen to your exact model. We confirm which Switch you have at the free check.
Will I lose my games and saves when the screen is replaced?
No. The screen and your data are separate. Your games and saves are stored on the console's memory and your game cards or memory card, not the screen. We only replace the screen, and your console comes back just as you left it, with a clear new display.
I tried a DIY screen kit and it went wrong. Can you fix it?
Yes. The most common DIY mistake is tearing the delicate screen cable or cracking the new screen while fitting it. If that happened, bring us the console and we will fit a proper new screen and get it working again. The free check tells you what it needs.
Do you repair the Switch 2 screen?
The Switch 2 is Nintendo's newest console, and we help where we can as repair parts for the newest hardware become available. Most of our screen work is for the original Switch, OLED, Lite, and the older 3DS and DS handhelds. Bring in your Switch 2 and we will tell you honestly what we can do.
Do not retire a good console over a cracked screen. Our nintendo switch screen replacement service fits a new screen for the Switch, OLED, and Lite, and we also revive the older 3DS, 2DS, DS Lite, and DSi handhelds most shops turn away. Cracked glass or dead display, your games and saves stay safe. Call (703) 594-9339, request a quote, or contact us to bring it in for a free check today. 30-day warranty on every screen. Trusted by 443+ reviewers since 2013.
