Description
This Nintendo Switch audio IC is a compatible electronic component designed to replace the chip that handles your device's sound. It converts and amplifies audio signals, meaning what you hear through the speaker, earpiece and microphone. When it fails, you often notice no sound or distorted sound, crackling, a silent microphone or an audio output that no longer works, while the rest of the device starts normally.
Replacing this chip requires good soldering skills, a suitable hot air station and a binocular microscope to work on very fine tracks. Before any work, disconnect the battery and move it away from the work area. Protect neighbouring components from heat, wear an anti-static wrist strap and heat gradually to avoid lifting the tracks off the board.
After fitting, check the solder joints carefully under the microscope, clean off residual flux and check there is no short circuit before powering the device back on. Then run full tests: speaker, earpiece, microphone and calls.
Tips
- Disconnect the battery before any work on the board
- Wear an anti-static wrist strap to protect the chip
- Check the solder joints with a magnifier before powering on
- Clean off residual flux once soldering is finished
- Test speaker, earpiece and microphone after fitting
Fitting
Fitting guide: work with the device switched off, disconnect the battery before touching any flex cable, keep the screws in order and test the part before closing up. A question before ordering? Write to us.
