PULL-A means this part was pulled from a working Nintendo Switch console. It is an original OEM Nintendo part, not a copy. We test every board before selling it to confirm it works. PULL-A parts give you the same quality as new OEM for a lower price.

This is how repair shops save money on parts without sacrificing quality.

Yes. This is a 2-in-1 part. The game card reader and headphone jack sit on the same circuit board. When you replace this part, you fix both issues at the same time. The "game card could not be read" error and broken headphones are both resolved.

You save money by not buying two separate parts for one repair job.

This part fits the original Nintendo Switch HAC-001 from 2017. Check the back of your console for the model number. It does NOT fit the Switch Lite, Switch OLED, or the V2 Switch (HAC-001-01).

If your model says HAC-001-01, it may not be compatible. Call us at 0480 039 913 before ordering if you are unsure.

No soldering is needed. This part connects to the motherboard via ribbon cable. Unplug the old board and plug in the new one. Opening the Switch and removing the heat sink is still required to reach the board.

This takes skill and the right tools. If you have never opened a console before, we recommend professional installation.

The most common cause is bent pins inside the card slot. This often happens when cards are pushed in at an angle. Dust and debris can also block the contacts over time. Sometimes the reader simply wears out from repeated use.

This replacement part gives you fresh pins and clean contacts right from the start.

Headphone jacks fail for several reasons. A broken plug stuck inside the port is the most common cause. Yanking the cable at an angle damages internal contacts. Dust and pocket lint can also block the connection.

This replacement gives you a fully working port again so wired headphones work as expected.

An experienced repair technician will finish this in 30–45 minutes. A first-time DIY person should expect 60–90 minutes. Remove the back cover, disconnect the battery, then take out the heat sink.

Take your time and do not rush. Watch a guide video before you start the repair.

You need a Y00 tri-wing screwdriver for the back panel screws. A Phillips 00 or JIS 00 screwdriver handles the internal screws. A plastic pry tool or spudger opens clips and connectors. Tweezers help with small cables.

You may also need thermal paste if you remove the heat sink. We sell repair tool kits at our Forest Lake store.

Yes, and you should always test before closing up. After connecting the new board, reconnect the battery and power on the Switch. Insert a game card to test reading. Plug in headphones and check audio output.

If something is wrong, it is much easier to fix before the console is sealed. Only close it up after confirming both functions work.

PULL-A parts are original Nintendo components removed from real Switch consoles. Aftermarket parts are new but made by third-party manufacturers. Quality varies widely with aftermarket options. PULL-A gives you genuine Nintendo quality at a used part price.

Original parts give better pin alignment and contact quality than copies do.
