Claire Miesch

== What screwdriver do I need to open my Nintendo Switch? ==
-You'll need a ***Y00 screwdrive***r to remove the screws on the back panel ***and*** either a ***JIS000 screwdriver*** or an official ***iFixit*** ***PH000 screwdriver*** to remove the screws on the top, bottom, and sides of the Switch console and in the kickstand well. Follow iFixit’s guides for the [[Topic:Nintendo Switch|standard Switch|new_window=true]], [[Topic:Nintendo Switch OLED Model|Switch OLED|new_window=true]], and [[Topic:Nintendo Switch Lite|Switch Lite|new_window=true]] for the specific locations of each screw type.

Be extra cautious with tri-point screws, as their point profiles are more likely to drive a driver tip out of the recess. These small screws are easy to strip, so follow iFixit’s [guide|25630|screwdriver best practices|new_window=true] to remove the screws as cleanly as possible.
