Nintendo Switch

''This page applies to the HAC-001 and HAC-001(-01) models. ''

Both of them mostly use the same ICs as each other. Please refer to the parts list below.

Some of the board revisions have a Diode pack, which can cause issues. The diode packs (or commonly referred to as diode arrays) can be removed without affecting the functionality of the console. They do not need to be replaced and removing them will reduce the number of future failure points from the console.

The HAC-001(-01) was released in 2019, and is a refresh of the HAC-001 model, characterized by a red box, better battery life and lower power draw.

If your Switch is stuck on a blue screen, this is traditionally a failure of the eMMC but could also be ram or CPU related. Often occurs if there is visible bending or bowing to the unit. A reflow sometimes works but the longevity of the repair is varying. A reball may be required. (If you apply pressure to both ram chips and it boots to Nintendo screen, RAM chips may need reball)
