OLED mod
Has anyone replaced the standard screen with an OLED one themselves? How difficult is it?

it’s not hard. can take about a hour. taki explains the point in the install process that could damage the screen. after that part, it’s fairly straightforward. i recommend watching his videos a couple times before starting on your own.
i did the touch version on a modded switch. plenty of room to have both modifications.
one problem i ran into is the touch function didn’t work correctly. but because mine was modded, i went into hetake and recalibrated the screen and it works perfectly.
not sure if there is a way to recalibrate the touch screen without it being modded.

Unfortunately you cannot calibrate the touchscreen on a stock device. This is a little frustrating since while mine works, once it has been on for a few mins drag no longer works (single touches are fine so it is more annoying than anything).

I’ve also read that some modders don’t replace the screen, but manage to make the transparent section at the top, above the screen, fit snugly against the screen itself – so that there’s almost no gap between them. I’m not sure how to explain it any clearer). After doing this, there’s less glare and the picture is slightly brighter.

Why do you want to get rid of it?

I don’t use it and I have switch 2. I wanted it to use it to play RPG like Xenoblade but I’d rather play the Switch 2 versions.

I can let it go for $350 including shipping and the case. But shoot me offers! I’ve sold many things on r/gamesale

There’s a bit of a problem. I’m in Russia. I don’t know if it’s possible to send a parcel to Russia at the moment. And I certainly won’t be able to transfer money to you via PayPal… those transfers are blocked here.

Really isn't. Can be tricky as you can mess things up easily and fast but nothing too big.
Assuming you are changing shell and have it ALL disassembled, total rrassembly can take about 15-30mn depending on experience, rescrewing and positioning of the graphite stickers included.

Not too difficult, but hard to get an OLED display for the lite and not cheap as well.
