And on these pictures all the capacitor on the bottom of the connector have been removed

Full pictures...

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the person who’s going to read all this !
I'm on a Nintendo Switch Lite, motherboard HDH-CPU-02.

While replacing the left joystick, I had to remove the motherboard to access the connector underneath. When I lifted the LCD connector latch, it broke (the plastic had become brittle over time), so I replaced the entire connector.

During the desoldering of the LCD connector using hot air, three small components located just below the connector (likely 0402 capacitors) came off and remained stuck to the bottom of the...

Hi everyone, Thanks again for your previous replies.

At first, I thought the missing component to the left of the processor was a TVS protection diode (probably for ESD), but after reviewing some photos and comparing with other boards, it really looks more like a tantalum capacitor.

I have to admit I haven’t seen many tantalum capacitors on this type of board, so I’d really appreciate your input:

Could the missing tantalum capacitor be the reason why the blue light doesn’t turn on at all when powering on the console?

Hi! I noticed that a component is missing just to the left of the CPU on my Nintendo Switch motherboard. I'm not exactly sure what it's supposed to be, so if anyone has an idea or a reference photo of that area, it would really help me identify the missing part.

Thank you so much for the other replies as well! If replacing and soldering this missing component doesn’t fix the issue, I’ll definitely move forward with the solutions you suggested.

Thanks again!...

Hi, thanks a lot for your reply! 🙏
This is my first time playing around with a Nintendo 2DS XL, so I want to make sure I understand what I’m doing.

You mentioned checking the main power rails — would you be able to help me figure out exactly which ones I should be testing? If you have any info about their locations, test points, or the expected voltages, that would be super appreciated.

I’ve got the right equipment (multimeter, lab power supply, etc.), I just want to make sure I’m testing the right things in the right places.
